Pedal Talk

K, i was just hangin ard Luther Music's classifieds, when i saw this ad which i couldn't believe it's true. Line6 Echo Park pedal going for $100. Yea, pedal whores will know that $100 is dirt cheap man. Dirt cheap. A first hand will set u back for abt $250. So this is really a bloody good deal. So good that i was so excited just now while sms-ing tt guy.

FYI: Line6 Echo Park is one helluva good pedal. So many different modes of delay that u can get from this little stompbox. And u can switch between tape, digital or analog delay. There's tap tempo too, and the way they've incorporated this is also quite nifty. And it's sturdy and well built, like a BOSS pedal. Yea BOSS pedals are like tanks. This one is like nuclear bomb shelter.

But, after so much hype abt this, there's a catch. A BIG catch btw. I can't test the pedal!!!!! And the owner seems reluctant to let me test too. This is my biggest gripe of this whole deal.

101 Reasons not to buy the pedal:

1. I can't test the pedal to see if it's working. Best i could do is to bring a battery to see if the pedal's lights are working or not. Fishy x1
2. I do not know that guy at all. He's a stranger. Strangers cheat pple of money.
3. He had previously posted another ad a few days ago, but with a different email. That's fishy man. Fishy x2
4. It's too cheap to be true. The pedal must be faulty. Fishy x3
5. He doesnt have the receipt for the original purchase of the pedal. But he's got the warrany card for it. But still Fishy x4
6. Fishy x1,x2,x3,x4 will add up to Fishy x5. That's bad man.

101 Reasons to buy the pedal:

1. It's cheap. Really damn cheap. Even if i dun like the pedal i can resell it for $150 and still make a small profit
2. The pedal is loaded full of different delay modes, extremely customizable. And i'm GAS-ing big time for a delay since the day i watched the U2: Live @ Slane Castle DVD.
3. The pedal is built like a tank. So there's little chance that it will be a damaged piece. If my beat up BOSS pedal still sound so awesome, i dun see the reason y this pedal wun be intact.
4. He told me it's mint condition. Like brand new. If it is, then it's probably not gonna be damaged to any big extent.
5. Even if the pedal is damaged, i can send it to MrMisse for a fix. And i doubt the cost of fixing the pedal will be more than the price of buying a new one. And also, MrMisse seldom charge pple for fixing pedals. Esp those tt he carries in his stock. He carries this pedal, so he's the man to approach
6. He's got the warranty card for it. I might be able to get it fixed if anything crops up.

So how? What do u guys think? I'm meeting that fella tml. Fire all comments now!!

Anyways, i just met up with MrMisse to pass him my Route 66. Yea it died on me yet again, this time the overdrive channel also went bonkers. I have a feeling that the switches got loose yet again. Probably i got too immersed while jamming and stomp on the pedal too hard. Sometimes it happens, forgive me pls. Hope it's just a minor problem. MrMisse is just so nice to help me yet again. U gear whores shld buy pedals from him! And yea he kinda reassured me that that Echo Park deal is actually quite worth it.

Probably gonna take the risk. But it's $100 dollars we are talking abt. I'm broke man. *shrug*
