But then I watched a demo of one and learned it is only a somewhat resonant EQ, a flanger, a phaser, a mild distortion with sub octave, and a boost, and not some wild "guitar synthesizer". https://reverb.com/item/37922732-lider- ... vintage-fx

Still pretty cool, but not "I am ready to drop $200 on a broken effects pedal" cool.
In Russia, those are easily obtained for under $50 in decent condition.
For example:
https://www.avito.ru/sankt-peterburg/mu ... 2078785636
https://www.avito.ru/irkutsk/muzykalnye ... 2114587069
https://www.avito.ru/tambov/muzykalnye_ ... 2126635016
https://www.avito.ru/kemerovo/muzykalny ... 2105701892
Shipping to the US via Russian Post (slow as hell, but works) should be around $50 as well.
If you want, I can help you arrange a deal.

Most FX in Lider are meh, but it has a very special suboctave circuit. More info here:
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/industria ... -suboctave

The only reason why I didn't get one is that the thing takes up too much precious "studio" space. Soviet hardware is almost universally too big & heavy for what it does.
Nice! There are some Russian things I'm interested in (LOMO microphones, and the typical electronic music junk). Perhaps when I shore up a budget I will give you a yell. I would want to make this worth your while in either trade or cash. That said, my new hobby seems to be buying broken stuff on reverb and fixing it, so I'm sure some old poly synth or decrepit piece of shit will slow me down.

I did like the octave down sound, reminds me I have Stone Splitters to build.

That posting is bereft of speaker porn. Multicells, ah, I expect I would have to DIY before enjoying such a thing.

That said, all this shit is too much money. The magic of craigslist is the screaming deal, that has been somewhat milked out of the process. I dunno, I guess I should ogle the free section more.

I can't properly put into words the how much I miss deals like that over there.
