Russian Muff Question
I have a gray Russian Big Muff Pi. I'm thinking about trading it away, but I have no idea what it is worth. I think by looking at the knobs that it is older than the green ones. I don't have pictures right now (I don't own a digital camera), but I should be able to take some on Friday or Saturday. Any help is most appreciated.

Leeroyfunk is an unknown quantity at this point
Tricky: I seem to recall that the popular perception is that Black > Green > Grey - Try a search and you might dig up a thread that represents this debate: Of course, this doesn't give the actual value, which tends to depend on the local market. I remember seeing a Green BMP (boxed, in good condition) go on eBay UK for over £100, back in the days when that was worth around $200, but I'm sure it would have gone for less in the US.

I dunno. Here in the Netherlands the black ones go for some rediculous prices since no Russians are made anymore.

I once sold my old greenie for a lot. During that time a grey one also did manage to get a good price!

I wonder if it's what's known as a "civil war" muff.

It's the only grey Russian model that I can think of.

No it has the older knobs and a different secondary color, but I've never seen another Big Muff like mine.

I haven't been using it much, and it's a cool pedal that deserves a good home...and sorry, but Pretend For Now is the lucky recipient.
