Sold on Reverb.com. The top right corner of the pedal is visible in Fender's March 7, 2014 "Inside the Studio" feature, recorded in "late 2013", of Young the Giant recording Mind Over Matter at 1:21.

From YTG: This pedal sounds amazing, but the fast/slow button seems to be broken. Other than that the pedal works great, and is in great cosmetic condition.
