The Boss PS3 effects pedal below is set in mode 7, the mode that produces a noise which approximates to backward delay.
Handy for a pseudo-reverse guitar sound when playing live - much simpler than having to create alternate realities moving in different chronological directions between you and your audience to get a similar effect.
Second hand in 1995, the PS3 cost me ninety quid of money I didn't have.
Now here in the future it isn't possible to get one of these for less than £110 on Ebay. It's held its value pretty well, even accounting for the effect of inflation.
So how much would that lump of 1995 £90 cash be worth now?
The inflation since 1995 and today, December 3rd 2016, is over 79%, which turns ninety quid then into £161.58 today.
If I was in the market for another of these now it would be better for me not to reverse time - they are effectively much cheaper in the present - and with the additional effect of not having to eat boiled rice every day for a fortnight to pay for it.
But, you pays your money and you takes your choice, and back then I didn't have a time machine.
I'm keeping it in mode 7.
