What'll $50 get me at Musician's Friend?

I just got home after a totally craptastic day to find... a gift certificate for $50 at Musician's Friend in my mailbox! :eek:

Turns out it was a thank-you from a friend & former co-worker who I helped score a job - really nice of him, and it couldn't have come on a better day.

So now I need to figure out what I can snag with this... it probably wouldn't cover an entire purchase, but I've got some ideas. Still, I was wondering what my fellow ILFers thought. Any bargains out there I should be aware of?

Oh right - I forgot about my Put Zvex's Dog Through Obedience School Fund - how silly of me!

But frreals, I am considering a Bit - obviously the gift certificate won't cover the whole thing, but come on - it essentially boils down to a $45 artifact. Not a bad deal AT ALL...

I've been considering the Hype for a while, but I fear that I may have maxxed out my current load of fuzz-fuzzes, if that makes any sense.

Oh, but now you've got me doubting myself... maybe I DO want a Hype...

Damn youze, HTSamurai!!!!!

MF is running a deal on friday, 10% off anything fender/squier.

Dunno if this counts as the fender friday deal of the week.

I would make a $95 Devi pedal into a $45 pedal. That's what I would do. (pssssst: Karaoke Party)

Or find something in the "scratch and dent" bin for $50-$60 and get it basically for free!

dude everyone wants a hype, everyone needs a hype
thankfully they are produced on par with the rate of people awakening to the absence of hype-ness in they lives and not wasting a moment more to purchase one

What could be better than a $45 Devi pedal other than maybe two.

I am sensing a trend here... a trend completely in keeping with my instincts.

Thank you, I Love Fuzz - you have guided me in the right direction yet again. I can FEEL it!

(We need a crazy Reverened Lovejoy testifyin' smilie - if we had it, that's what I would put right here)
