Members surfcat Posted June 28, 2007 Members Share Posted June 28, 2007 Mine had a Fulltone Clyde once. That's it. No Fulltone now. Worst place to buy effects other than some small mom and pops that only sell Boss and Digitech. Oh wait, GC only sells Boss and Digitech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rogue_cashew Posted June 28, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 28, 2007 im going to GC in a little while. i'm gonna try some fulltone stuff if they have it, thanks for that heads up. and on another note, does anybody know any pedals that have similar fuzzes to the analogman sunface... it seems to have a fuller and smoother sound than other fuzzes i've heard. i think a lot of 'fuzz' pedals sound too 'buzzy'. i'm considering ordering a sunface if i can't find something i like a lot at GC.

Members 50wHead&2x12Cab Posted June 28, 2007 Members Share Posted June 28, 2007 GC was recently (maybe still is) blowing out brand-new made-in-USA Peavey Classic 30 heads (tweed only) for $379 in-store-only - my 10% coupon made it $341. You have to love the occasional steal of a deal you can get from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members iminurfridge Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 i used to work for guitar center you would save more just asking them for a better deal unless its like cables, but everything else, especially in accessories, can be lowered considerably. if your looking for dirty get a big muff pi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rogue_cashew Posted June 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 normally this guy that knows me for some creepy reason just gives me good deals without me saying anything, but i think he was arrested for being a pedophile and isn't there anymore. i guess i'll have to be more assertive now. that's too bad, it was disturbing but still nice...

Members capnbringdown Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 10% isn't really enough to warrant a purchase just cuz. You could find a better deal going used. That being said, if you want to try a fuzz, the little big muff isn't a bad choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ho in there and make an offer less than the price that'll cause them to strike up a deal. Something like this. "Oh hey I'll give you 175 dollars for that dl4""Oh I can't do that but how about 200 dollars?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tremolo531 Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 How low can you go when bartering in GC? How low are some of the deals you can get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members raviolio Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 I would buy from somebody other than Guitar Center. +1 If you are so inclined, you can generally get just about any retailer to match the competition. When it comes to prices on gear, I've never had a problem getting a shop to at least get close, if not better than GC (... they just just don't usually advertise it). And if the price difference is minimal, I would still rather pay a few extra dollars, and give my cash to someone other than Guitar Center.

Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 How low can you go when bartering in GC? How low are some of the deals you can get?gc will cut deals. make an offer worst case scenario theyll counter it or decline.the GC in durham, nc wont buy used stuff. i brought in some boutique stuff i was bored with and they said they wouldnt be able to sell it. they had like 2 used pedals and they were both multi-pedals...korg and boss. he said thats what sells.the gc in raleigh and durham have zero fulltone.

Members jconway Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 that said, i hate my GC. the pedal selection there is absolute {censored}. no fulltone, no EHX, etc. pretty much just boss, dano, line6, and digitech. anyone elses GC's like this? My GC is great (Cherry Hill, NJ). I just found out that they're a Fulltone dealer and got to try out an OCD. Now I've got GAS for that. They also had a Fulldrive2 Mosfet. I used my 10% on my Fender Classic Player '60s Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robotfactory Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 i picked up a used (dated 4/98) fulltone fulldrive 2 at the santa clara guitar center on wednesday night for $99 - 10% + 8.25% tax = roughly $97.00. i was pretty happy about it. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rogue_cashew Posted July 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 1, 2007 okay, guys, thanks for all the input, but i already said that i got the fulltone OCD... and explained why i was gonna buy regardless of the puny discount... and explained why i didn't barter a better deal. thanks again for the advice and stuff, which i'll use more in the future, but i already bought something. if you guys want to keep the advice coming even though i already made the decision, go right on ahead, hopefully somebody else will read it and benefit off of it, too. just thought i should give a second heads up in case people don't want to waste their time giving advice i no longer need. and please don't take that as an asshole thing, i just don't need the advice anymore and the whole 'just don't'/'get a better deal'/etc, thing isn't really necessary... thanks so far. i might toss a review and a few clips if possible in another thread if anybody's interested in the OCD, which i've fallen in love with.
