Chicago Music Exchange?

Post by zRobertez »

Has anyone ever heard of them? Just recently, I've started finding great demos by them on youtube. I'd say they're close to rivaling PGS or Prymaxe, at least with their demos. They're website looks okay. But awesome demos! And they're videos are of pedals I've been interested in but there's not a ton on youtube of them.

I ordered a fender concert reverb from them. Shipping was free ( amp weighs over 80lbs) and took about 4 days to arrive at my house. The couple of times I spoke with them on the phone they were nothing but friendly.

They rule.

In a good way or a bad way? Judging by their super old gibson guitars in the demos I'd be willing to bet they're expensive. But that bit demo makes me teary with nostalgia... :cry:

they're known for having a massive selection of new and particularly of vintage guitars, amps, and gear. the vintage stuff is quite expensive, but the selection is so deep that Dallas Schoo shops there for The Edge. once i get moved back there, i'll be able to go in and harass the staff.

I go every now and again and yes the prices are unreal. For me it's just fantasy shopping, I can't really afford anything there. But I did go to a drum clinic with Jimmy Chamberlin there, and that, was free!

Yah it ruled, I even got a hug and he signed my Mellon collie cassettes too.

The store though, is super expensive, but they'll let you try anything in the store. They stock new rick's too. I've never had their repair shop do any work for me, but I'm sure it's great.
