I bought this brand new last month (April 2023), along with the nylon SurfyBag. It sounds great and works just like it should, but, for convenience sake, I've decided to stay with my FRV-1 pedal and my blonde reissue Fender Outboard Reverb for recording and for gigs where we play with other surf bands. Mostly we play outdoor gigs like car shows. I don't really need a SurfyBear for those kind of gigs. I used this SurfyBear only once at a 2 hour band practice when I first got it. It sounded amazing and the surf drip was really fun on our surf songs. I haven't played it since then. Yesterday, the band played a gig and we weren't sure about available space. So, I used my FRV-1. It was fine for that sort of gig. I really need to cut back on my equipment. I've even cut back on my pedals to 4, with a tuner. So, for our occasional gig, I'm going to stick with the FRV-1.
The pics show that it's just like I got it. I saved all the packaging, as is shown. The SurfyBear cost me $350 plus tax and the Surfybag was $40. I'd like to get $300, including shipping. It's basically a new unit!
