Members Operator Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 The used DE-7 I ordered last Friday didn't show up, so I called to see what the deal was. Apparently--despite having two different phone conversations with them last week wherein they told me they shipped it out to me--they sold it and shipped it to someone else completely. I was counting on it for a gig tonight. They told me they'd call me back after they "look into it," but frankly, I'm not expecting them to follow through. Now MF and GC aren't stocking DE-7s anymore, and I missed that Stupid Deal of the Day earlier in the week when they were going for $50 new. Now what the {censored} do I do?

Members Operator Posted January 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 which GC was it, because I got my $30 De-7 in the mail yesterday It was some branch an hour south of Boston. You son of a bitch! I don't know any guitarists in this city. I guess I'll walk to a different store and get some other delay pedal. But which?

Members cryptosonic Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yea I have been after them to create a coherent web based purchase and shipping solution for their used section for a while. I don't want to deal with Captain Douchey over the phone, and it would prevent stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TomCTC Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 I would just grab something else from Guitar Center and return it after the gig, then get a DE-7 off of the net used for cheap. Done and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The used items section is a fairly new feature that GC IT is still ironing out, hence why it's such a cluster{censored}. It's just as much a pain for GC employees as it is for anyone else.

Members Trick Fall Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 Do you have a local GC? I'd try to cajole them into giving you a comparable delay for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager tried to tell me that a Jazzmaster was a Les Paul copy, and that they are collectively bad guitars. Winnnnnnarrrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Operator Posted January 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 Ok I bought a Memory Toy. I liked it in the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stevemcb Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 That's a good choice IMHO. My memory toy is great for edge-of oscillation sounds. There are some tips around for tweaking the trimpots if you're wanting to optimise it for your playing - the mod was way too much on mine when I got it, small trimpot tweak and its perfect, and mine didn't self-oscillate when I got it, small tweak and now it does!
