Skreddy Pink Flesh

Anyone know roughly (or exactly) how many of these were produced?

It's nice to find random reviews and demos across the web but it is hard to tell how the odds are stacked for getting one. BTW all those reviews/demos that have been produced by TGPers is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Well, I bought #20 early on, and then I bought #109 near the end of their life - both custom jobbies direct from Marc. My guess would be that there are under 200 out there, but probably close to that. While I sold both of mine (not for the insane prices they carry now on the used market), I thought they were great pedals as always from Marc! The man knows how to design a good sounding box. For me, I just wanted something that sounded more like a Muff without the added smoothing and compression... something a bit bigger and more open sounding. But those PF's sounded great and bloomed wonderfully.

I seem to recall that mine was number 27 but I'm pretty sure I've seen a number 186 out there and probably higher. I'm guessing 250ish.

I have #18. I was originally supposed to have #01 because I proposed to the idea to Marc having a Big Muff/David Gilmour pedal circa "The Wall", but I my funds needed to go elsewhere at the time. I think Marc told me there is roughly 250 pedals out there. Btw, it's a super pedal and a keeper!

Mine is #174, completed Feb. 18,2008. Hey Ben, I LOVE the smoothness. That's exactly what I wanted out of the Pink Flesh. Great at what it does!

Totally! The thick (but not woofy) smoothness and bloom are what make the Pink Flesh what it is and separate from Big Muffs! Just over time I gravitated toward a more old-school Muff tone. More like a Gilmour 'Wall' era Muff sound, not a Gilmour 'Pulse' era sound. Both great sounds, and to each their own!

Mine is #60.
Surely a great pedal.
I like to add a little more boost with a BB+.
