Poor, mistreated stompboxes!

Let's collect pictures of misused and completely beat-up stompboxes! Laurie, it's time to dig out those DD-2 pictures from years ago.

This is from a recent ebay auction in Rome*:

But didn't the DD-2 look absolutely horrible inside?

Despite the fairly poor condition, the seller managed to get $75k for this one...

It was really Kurt Cobain's DS-1 and it came with a certificate? Wow! Maybe that was an inspiration for the previous owner of my DF-2 with the "FÄRZÄRRÄR" scrawl (mangling of the German word "Verzerrer" = "distortion") on it:

You did a great job cleaning up that DF-2, Pepe

Did you hang on to it or sell it on?

It was a Taiwanese model that I sold a few months ago. I found an MIJ model and I am keeping this one.
