It's on the website. Probably a CSR that was not aware of the new cap. I can't blame the CSR, as the rules keep changing because some upper management folks are inept.

MF price match with 150% deal is 49.99 plus a 65.00 gift credit...179.00 there.
The one you have linked is from a third-party seller, so I don't think they'll pricematch.

However, J&R Music has the OD (TS808 clone) and Distortion for $49 each. MF will pricematch and give you a $65 gift certificate.

Arrangements? How about I hit on two and four, and you shut the fuck up?

Sons-a-b!tches...I've had three price matches shot down on this guitar. The first two came back as 'we can't do the price match because its below cost'. Then the most recent one came back as 'the link you provided to Sam Ash didn't work so we couldn't confirm the price'. What a crock this M123 place is. Why are they being such d!ck holes? I swear I've never come across any other company that's gone so far out of it's way to not take my money.

I'm jealous, but happy some of you are getting these deals. $367 is a sweet price for that guitar.

Thanks, I just picked up 2 of those. One will be an X-mas present fer sher, the other?, well maybe I'll be keeping it


Funny though, be4 pulling the trigger I looked at some YT vids and searched for other reviews. I found this review at Music Radar.com And although the review was largely positive (except for maybe the original MAP), they started with this amusing preface:

MXR ZW90 Wylde Phase

Don't tell him we said this, but Zakk Wylde is a signature gear slut. We've had the Les Pauls, the Marshalls, the strings, the pug-ugly coffin axe, the wah, the chorus and the overdrive.

Just when you were half-expecting the Remington ZW1000 beard trimmer, the big man drops his spin on the MXR Phase 90. Maybe we'll give him a blank cheque and see if he signs that…

Well basically you get the pedal for free and 16 bucks to spend after all is said and done..

It is a decent pedal also I have one.

Assuming you were already going to spend $65 at MF by whenever the coupon expires, yes- It's not like the $65 is cash. If it was, I'd have already ordered all the ones they had by now.
