3) Will be a massive collector's item in a few years and command ridiculous prices once manufacturing ends.
I know I'm quoting myself, but this is what has stuck with me overnight.
Yeah. I think a lot will depend on how limited the "limited production run" is but I can certainly see these going for silly money on eBay and the like if they do turn out to be in any way rare.

Just got an e-mail from Boss with a link to a couple of videos:

Well, I'm a little underwhelmed. I have a 90s Prescription Electronics Yardbox, which is based on a Tonebender MKII fuzz. Picked it up used in 1997 for around $50. It's great, I have no need for another TB MKII pedal. 23 years later, it's still rock solid and fuzzy!
However, if I can get my hands on a TB2W, I'll grab it for collectability. ;)

Thanks to all of you, and the Doc. in particular, for bringing this subject to our attention. What a ride it has been and how it turned out to be such a big surprise. Wow!

Okay, I am not really a Waza fan, but then I have not paid much attention, this pedal here, on the other hand, is a little different....

I can add a little bit to the story: There used to be a music shop here in Leeds where you could order Tonebenders. Music Ground was the name of the shop, and nowadays they are only based in London. My info goes back around 2012, when I was actually thinking of getting one of them. I still have a original leaflet somewhere with a bit about the history of the Tonebender and the models they offered at that time. Of course, as one can image, they were not cheap then, and the Boss one here will not be cheap either.

I do like both videos which BearBoy added, and even though it is all made for a commercial push I can see the historic reasons, and the uniqueness of the whole things as well.
Would I be interested in getting one? No, because I can get the sound of the Tonebender with the various things I have here (think amps and pedals and tweaking sounds) No need for me to get the real thing for a huge sum of money.

Whoah! That's a bit more than I expected. Thomann Germany says 349 €. Does any source already say what's the overall production volume?
