So which flavor of the month guitar player made this thing so desirable? They're going for $150 to $300 on ebay!
Behold! the new Ross Compressor, which was the new TS9! It was (and should remain) a $39.00 budget distortion. They just slapped 'em together with whatever old commie parts they had laying around.

I hear you, they are stupidly priced now.....i guess when they stop making something the demand goes up.....thats why i want a not working p.o.s. one....so i can rip all the guts out and make a nice clone.

My guess is that these are now worth fixing no matter what is wrong with them! Someone is fueling the prices. There's a jillion pedals that aren't made anymore but they still sell for 40 or 50 bucks. Everytime I've seen some obscure or discontinued pedal go through the roof, its because a particular player is using it and their followers and fans are driving the demand. I just did some Googling and it looks like Gilmour and Corgan nuts like 'em. The BMP has always been a go-to for bass players as well. I dunno, maybe the BMP is this generation's tubescreamer, . . . .. just like the TS9, If you're spending over the cost of a new reissue, you're probably throwing your money away.

I wouldnt pay much more than $50 for a working one......I just want a case to use.....

Why not get a case and make it look authentic and possibly distressed some so it doesn't look new....then put ur electronics in it. That's what I'm doin' for a guy that wants to do the same thing u want to. When done it'll look like a green russian (tank) model.

all i want is the case (enclosure)....

I dont know anyone that makes a electro harmonix or sovtek enclosure though...
