$500-$750 is usually what I see, but theres a couple onyx 24s here in town for like $200-$400 that keeps burning in the back of my head. I'm about to get a PA again but I'm going with the Wing Rack for the mixer.

He’s wants $80 for the ch-1 and muff together. Good deal? Thinking about meeting him tomorrow. https://rochester.craigslist.org/msg/d/rochester-guitar-pedals/7906600050.html

The Boss CH-1 is a KILLER chorus. Its replaced all of my other chorus pedals. It can do the 80's thing a la Boss CE-1 and it can do the milkshake thing a la Kurt Cobain. For $40 I'd be all over that.

I could not find a data-sheet for a 14-pin version of the LM308AJ.
Is it a dual op-amp like the LH2108 chips Dead End Fx used for the "Double Cross" (dual Rat PCB)?

Looks like it's a single with a few NC pins as "guards"

But guards are to connect a ground that encircles the IC

Quickly, someone make up some shit about how this makes your Super RAT all the more special and better than all the other RAT's out there. Less noise and interference resulting in a more dynamic tone with better clarity or something.

The 14-Pin LM308: Because Your Tone Deserves a LITERAL FORTRESS
Listen up, tone chasers. While those other RATs are running around with their sad little 8-pin op-amps like they showed up to a stadium gig with a practice amp, your Super RAT is wielding the MYTHICAL 14-pin LM308 – an op-amp so legendary, so absurdly overbuilt, that several of its pins exist for ONE PURPOSE: to tell the entire electromagnetic spectrum to GET THE HELL OUT.
Those extra pins aren’t just sitting there collecting dust and flux. Oh no. They’re connected to GUARD TRACES – literal rings of grounded copper that surround the chip like the Praetorian Guard protecting Caesar, like Gondor’s walls standing against Mordor, like that one bouncer who actually takes his job seriously.
This isn’t just shielding. This is SHIELDING. We’re talking about a ground plane so committed to protecting your signal that RF interference takes one look and files for a restraining order. Cell phone towers? Blocked. Your drummer’s phone charger? Neutralized. The local radio station that keeps bleeding through your buddy’s cheap chorus pedal? ABSOLUTELY ANNIHILATED.
What does this sonic sorcery mean for YOUR playing?
The 14-pin LM308 doesn’t just process your signal – it DEFENDS it with the fury of a thousand grounded copper warriors. It’s the difference between playing guitar and COMMANDING THE VERY FABRIC OF ELECTRICAL REALITY.
Other RATs use 8 pins. Cute. Your Super RAT has 14 and uses them like a boss.
Because tone this pure doesn’t happen by accident. It happens with GUARD PINS.
Drop D. Crank it. Let the guards do their job.

What does this sonic sorcery mean for YOUR playing?
- Dynamics so responsive you can whisper to your pickups and they’ll HEAR YOU
- Note separation so crystal clear you can play jazz chords and every note rings out like it’s getting its own spotlight
- Clarity that makes other distortion pedals sound like they’re underwater, in a cave, during a thunderstorm
- Sustain that doesn’t degrade into a fizzy mess of noise demons

Over/Under 6 months that some pedal company “borrows” this as their ad for their new Rat variant.

Bad news: Showed up today thrown in a cardboard box with zero padding, and fully as-described. Passing signal, but no compression.
Good news: The first troubleshooting recommendation I found fixed the problem.
Big shout out to Squib at group diy.com from 16 years ago.
There was DC on pin 8, so I swapped it and we’re up and running.
My little op amp tester lights up for three out of 4.

I bet! I’m sitting here playing albums through it and tweaking knobs and it sounds great.

Probably not actually worth a hundred bucks and a half hour ride to me, but I do wonder what treasure is in all them bags.
