Used gear is always used gear, can go up or down in value. New is retail. That being said I've never once purchased gear new in near 40 years.
What I'm curious about is the chip. It doesn't say the original chip is being replicated or reproduced, just the sound is. For decades custom pedal makers were ripping apart various other pedals for that chip. When digital took over the sound could be replicated but never fully realized due to how analog and digital produce that sound.

From the Ibanez website. "The reissue includes the same JRC4558D IC chip and analog circuitry as the original, and features traditional overdrive, level, and tone controls."
