Edit: 25 packs say 10 in the description as well so I'm guessing they used the same description for all packages.
After googling the item #, I agree that it's likely 100. I just pointed out the discrepancy. They are quite common on Amazon.

So that's how you get a distortion huh. In a strange way that sort of makes sense

Yes I guess they swapped the labels on these two items in their system.
I don't really feel like auctioning this. Anyone have any idea if i can trade it in at guitar center for anything? will they let me exchange if i didn't buy something there?

There should be an "Extreme Couponing" thread.
Arrangements? How about I hit on two and four, and you shut the fuck up?

you might be able to get more than you paid on trade-in...if nothing else, it's a great way to get 15% off something new next time you're looking...

for anyone still having doubts about combining e-certs or using them on sale items - I just used two e-certs on the billy joe. have been lusting after the billy joe model for 2 years now. would have loved to have gotten the sunburst or white with ebony board but I'll settle for the black for a little over $350 out of pocket

I also want to add that chris baker really helped me out. it's rare when communicating with semi-large companies to find customer support like he has provided. MF should buy him a label-maker or something for doing such a great job.


Good deals: 300+ between HC/TGP... honestly, if you're reading this, I've probably traded with you at one point or another

The Distortion is a Rat with switching for what clipping diodes it uses. While we're at it, the Fuzz is a Big Muff variant and the Overdrive is a TS-9/808 variant.

Maybe we should start an "Akai Exchange" thread so that people can swap with others to get what they wanted.
