This is typically amazing from Arion and of course, pretty old.
I can see a fair amount being sold at quite silly prices ( well actually, probably not being sold at all ), make no mistake, this is a beautiful sounding pedal, but not worth over 200 quid !! It has a gorgeous warmth to it. Japanese quality all over.

There are a couple of things to point out. First, there is a replacement control knob, not very matching at all. Also, the previous owner did not want it knicking, never thought he’d sell it, so scratched his name into the end. A shame but not a disaster, and certainly reflected in the price.
