Broken CT5 AND HOLY SHIT MANDELA EFFECT IS REAL

Post by Invisible Man »

So I had to sell my CT5...shipped it out, and it arrived at the buyer's place nonfunctional. It just occurred to me that I might be able to do something about this with USPS, but I think I only insured it for $50...

Has anyone repaired these? I messaged Scott at Mtl Asm, but haven't heard back yet.

Unfortunately, I need the cash from the sale, like, two weeks ago to keep the Federal Government (wife's student loans) off my ass, so I'm trying to hustle. Any ideas?

UPDATE:

Thanks, Scott, for the reply. I shipped the pedal to you via FedEx. You will know which one it is, because...it's black. And when the time comes, I might give you the destination address so I don't have to ship it again from my place.

But here's the fucking weird part:

I peeled the shipping labels off of the box that the CT5 was sent back to me in. And the last return address label on the box--under three layers of labels--was...Scott Monk's (different than the current address, but...people move). So, apparently, Eric, the person I shipped my CT5 to, sent it back to me in a different box than the one I used, but one that--little did he know--originally came from Scott Monk, perhaps after many iterations of others' pedal flipping. Confused?

But the SEND address on this box is not Eric's. It's the address of a guy named Chase, whose name sounded familiar. I searched my email for it, and...I sold him my EQD Bit Commander exactly two years ago.

Image

So, the only logical conclusion is that Scott sold Chase a pedal, and Chase sold it, and they sold it, and the next person sold it, and then that person sold it to Eric. Eric used that box to return my CT5 to me...which I used to return the same CT5 to Scott. And I also sold Chase a pedal in the first week of December, 2013.

...but what the fuck. Maybe this just means that I need to chill on selling/flipping/borrowing pedge. Or maybe I'm just phasing through a new reality.

Or the buyer accidentally used the wrong power supply.

DOA. I did a cursory check of the guts, but nothing seemed amiss. It's Boss-standard power, so it'd be hard to screw it up. I'll check with the buyer, though.

You might need to mess with the offset trimpot, but that's a project you need to discuss with Scott

Definitely not parts for a nuclear bomb or anything, if that's what you're thinking

Offset wouldn't fix this. I think the newer firmware removed the need for the offset trimpot as well.

Bad news, Jero--this ISN'T AN UPDATE. IT'S STILL HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, AND HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED, AND WILL HAPPEN. IT IS A RECURSIVE UPDATE WITHIN AN UPDATE, AND IT WILL LAND ON YOUR PORCH WITH YOUR OWN FUCKING ADDRESS AS BOTH THE SEND AND RETURN ADDRESS...A PACKAGE FROM FUTURE/PAST WITH A MICROBE INSIDE. THE MICROBE IS YOU--SINGLE-CELLED YOU--AND IT WILL GROW UP TO BE YOU LONG BEFORE/AFTER YOU'VE GONE.
