Made available by Seattle music store Emerald City Guitars, the Tube Screamer in question is said to have been sold by Vaughan’s tech Cesar Diaz after the groundbreaking guitarist passed away. “This is one of them. Real deal. Absolutely legendary,” says the description.
One can only imagine what it costs to get hold of this vintage pedal. Have a stab, and guess higher again. $14,700 AUD is the magic number you’re looking for. It’s well out of grasp for most, and affordable for a select few. But all can dream of what it would be like to stomp on the tour-hardened pedal.
Never, though, will it sound as unbelievably good.
