  1. Tap-tempo on a delay pedal is a glorious thing, too. My amp has a built in little effect-rack, and you can tap-tempo for the delay feature...makes for great dleay settings on the fly
  2. Yeah, found it. Shit, you can get a Boss ME-70 for that
  3. Yeah, but eh
  4. Gotta say that Boss GT-10 for 3000 SEK on what I think would be Sweden's answer to craigslist is tempting though.
  5. Think about it this way- a Boss ME70 is $300. It has the ability to do many, many things- but only 4 at one time.

    Comp: Got my comp-stomp for $50 bucks at a used shop, works like a charm. Specific settings on the thing are great, too.
    OD/Dist: Got my OD pedal and my dist. box for a combined total of $80. Thinking about replacing the distortion, but still.
    Mod: I really only use chorus, though I do want to look into getting an envelope filter or phaser. Got that pedal for $60. Again, you can only use one at a time though, so the value of that feature is only anywhere between $60-$150.
    Delay: $70.

    That's only $260 for those up there. And they look cooler (to me)
  6. I bet the used market in Chicago beats the crap out of the used market in Gothenburg though.
  7. Eh, technically I'm sure it would, but the local shops are the only places to actually get a bargain on used, and there's only one in my area. eBay can be your best friend though.

    I'm still looking for that great shop with used guitar stuff here though.

    Also didn't say that one shop by me was great

    Selection is very poor, often overpriced for used gear in its condition....but it beats full price.

    I always test before I buy. Even on new gear.

    And there's the problem with eBay.
  11. Most sellers on eBay offer no-hassle return policies. I suppose it's a bit of a hassle to box it back up and get it to the post office, but in the end if you're not satisfied you get your money back.
  12. Also there's never that much wrong with guitar pedals stompboxes that can't be fixed with a couple bucks and a friend with a soldering iron.
