The down side of used pedals

[masked elwood]

As long as I know what I'm getting into when I buy it, I don't care.

My favorite guitar purchase of all time was a freebie from a guy who used to work at the Hamer shop, he had built himself this truly beautiful DC-style beast.

Then he got caught cheating on his wife. He tried to make amends by cutting "I'm sorry" into the back of it with a pocketknife.

It was thrown in the river after that. He fished it out, and just gave it to me as I sat on the steps of the guitar shop waiting for it to open one afternoon.

I eventually gave it back to him. I wasn't sorry.

Some things just add character.

fantastic story. i'd love to see that guitar.

So would I, it's been a good 20 years or so since it happened, if the guitar still exists it has to look worse than the Hendrix burned strat!

i'd like to know the upside of buying new pedals... the only new pedal i ever bought was a fuck from brian, and it was custom.. so cmon.

Getting the Customs... Also Thom can do whatever he wants with my money!!!

I've seen a pic posted somewhere (think here?) of someone's cat shitting on one of their pedals. So... I guess that's an upside to buying new? At least I hope...

I also have a cat, but honestly my cat is so luxurious you should just be happy that she enhanced the velcro for you.

I feel so special

[rfurtkamp]

I would sell you any of my pedals I was interested in selling and poop on it myself for a slight additional fee.

Why settle for cat poop?

Only the finest human excrement will do.

hee. so, there was a snafu with a guy that bought an Faye Song off of Ken, it didn't get there when it was s'posed to or something, i guess the guy didn't have it in time for the tour he wanted it on or something. Ken agreed to a return, there was a whole public thread about it, i got at Ken about buying it since it was the last brushed aluminum enclosure one he said he thought he'd do.

but diving through that thread there was a point where the og dood said something like, "oh yeah, i'm going to send it back. after i open it up and take a giant runny shit inside it.".

i sent a message to Ken with something like, "soooooooo...... i mean... i want it..... hard..... unless it's been poo'ed in. then i will wait for another one.".

Pretty sure I had a hilarious quote of yours from that thread in my sig for a while... Good times.

The most awesome used pedal story I have is I bought an old DOD Thrash Master (the 1st one) off Ebay about a year or so ago. Dude shipped it in a bubble mailer and it arrived 100% in tact and working

Do spiders poop?

I've received a lot of pedals in bubble mailers. Surprisingly, never received a dud.

[Jeff-7]

I think my lofi Malekko 616 came in a bubble mailer back when I bought it new .

Spiders do poop.
Also they may or may not breathe through their legs or random openings in their bodies or whatever.
In conclusion, fuck spiders.
