I realized this is another one where I can use my capital one shopping rebates. Apparently I get $25 back if I use ebay (Pro Audio Star has it on ebay). I submitted an offer for $72. I'll give it a shot. Capital One makes you jump through some hoops. I forgot about it so I still haven't redeemed the $90+ I have there. This reminded me to jump through another hoop so hopefully it'll be done soon.

@Saul GoodmanHere in STL that's like the cost of food for my whole family (dad, MIL, wife, daughter, me) at a small business. Is lunch expensive in your area?

I think some people call this a Dirty Boost. It's got some gain, push, compression, and EQ changes. I'm tempted even though anyone looking through can see I'm selling thousands of dollars worth of pedals right now. Usually a sale like this means they're going to discontinue this model or maybe go to a new version. I've had a few J Rockett pedals. I think this is one of their old school builds that has the super heavy enclosure. Way overbuilt.

I know you joke but the early Mk1 models didn't have the EQ sliders, power scaling, etc. I've only owned one MK1 reissue, and it's close enough in tone that it's worth considering for someone. I think people usually want one of Shin's Dumbloid pedals. As an aside, Shin's own videos of this pedals are potato phone quality. I can't help but think if they had someone do demos with proper mics or let influencers do their thing they'd have much more traction.

@velorush I got all this in trade for a "vintage" Gibon Les Paul Custom. I was kind of surprised by the haul myself in some ways because he didn't list them out as clearly as I would've liked. Don't get me wrong, he was friendly, I just didn't actually understand what I was getting and took more of a gamble than I intended. Based on the first two pedals I sold tolday I expect I'm actually going to do better than I expected. I've got like four offers so far on the Venuram Jan Ray but it's been listed for just a few hours. The four Timmy's make me chuckle. Who needs four Timmy's and a Jan Ray (i.e., clone of a Timmy). I think three of those are fuzz faces and there are four takes on Big Muffs. https://reverb.com/item/100673047-shin-s-music-mk-1-overdrive-063 https://reverb.com/item/100669850-vemuram-jan-ray Not stuff you see everyday.

I'm starting with boutique and expensive stuff first. There's a few thing a friend wants to try like the Ethos Overdrive and TWE, Dumbloid, and that Goodsell, that I won't list until he tries. I've sold about $500 of pedals in the past few hours so it may be hard to get up to date. I thought they used BBCode formatting here. Apparently not.

Haha. The only FR I'm even tempted by is a Baby Floyd. I have no use for what an FR does. It's a solution to a problem I don't have.

@mrjamiam I honestly bought it from my friend to free up his cash flow and to be the main person he goes to for selling stuff. About 1/2 the stuff he sells me I like, and the other half has a Kahler, FR, or is for some other reason not my vibe. If you're interested hit me up.

If I'm completely honest I bought this from a friend in a cover band who just constantly goes through guitars all the time trying new things. I'm not really planning on keeping it although I do like that it's lightweight. Floyd Roses just aren't my cuppa tea. I believe that serial makes it a 93. It has some small dings but everything requires looking at it up close to spot.

There's a man named Jeff who for years and years was always making trade offers on guitars I had. I always found him slightly offputting. We couldn't talk about anything via or text or email, I had to call him. The trades weren't always a bit in his favor, he could never take clear photos of his guitars, they were always out of focus. He just always felt like a bit of a bully, but not quite enough of a dick I wanted to block him or not talk to him again. So... I started wondering about him after he reached out to me again last week. It turns out he was a cop and was infamous for shooting a suspect multiple times and putting him in a coma. The lawsuit took years and years and it turns out he has qualified immunity. Anyhow, I finally understood the vibes he was giving off. It's exactly like cop vibes. Too many older cops always felt pushy and bossy to me. Not always to extremes, but just enought to make me feel uncomfortable. This was exactly like that.

Indeed my Santana retro was several hundred dollars cheaper than your averate retro 10 top typically is. I realized I forgot to mention that they listed it as the wrong type of Santana.... a Santana II. Which, honestly, probably should be more expensive given that it has a brazilian rosewood fretboard, but can go for cheaper.

Giveaways are the year, no S2 in the serial, using Kluson style tuners: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/PRS/Used-2009-PRS-S2-Starla-VINTAGE-MAHOGANY-Solid-Body-Electric-Guitar-122337338.gc The pickups will be USA made rather than their import pickups (G&B?). It's somewhat underpriced but having just bought a '74 LPC Custom and a Santana 10 Top I'm not feeling like picking this up. I personally feel like Bigsby's need a Vibramate and a Reverend Spring to improve the sound, feel, and extent the travel a bit further to get the best out of them. I believe the carve might be slightly different but I hardly study those details and it's hard to make it out from low quality pics online.

I've soured a bit on Lovepedal. It's really hard to get support on your pedal from him if it doesn't work. I would know. The other thing is he at least once shut down his business due to personal issues and went completely dark for a long period of time. People who had stuff with him for repair were basically SOL. IDK if he found a way to make it up to them offer. Basically, I'm saying if you buy something from him treat it as being without any kind of warranty or support. It's less a complaint about the quality of the product. Also, I've had something like 7 different zendrives before that shut down. One sounds exactly like an original, and the rest all sound different. It's confusing AF but I kept the one that basically looks and sounds identical. I also still have an OD11 which is basically a Tim with one wrong value according to a dude on TDPRI who analyzes such things. 11gauge I think.

MONO offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering their guitar cases against defects in materials and manufacturing for the practical lifespan of the product. However, it does not cover standard wear and tear, cosmetic issues, or airline baggage damage Both companies consider zippers to me war and tear. I'm not really trying to defend either company, as I have stuff from both and love the Mono gig bag that came with my Harmony comet. It's just that I see it for what it is.

@Dave ScepterUnfortunately you can find people complaining about zippers on the Mono's that now cost $300 also. I would say, zippers are often repairable.
