Members dohhhhh6 Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 I bought the compressor a few months ago for my friend's Epip Les Paul into a Peavey Tubeking. Overall the pedal's pretty good. The only real problem is that the Sus and Vol pots can spin around in their holes and possibly break solder joints. Not a problem if you take care of the pedal. On the other hand, customer service was a little manic. At first, I asked some questions and got helpful emails back shortly. Then after I bought the pedal, they shot me a email that they weren't expecting so many orders at first and that their supply was gone, so it was going to take 3 extra weeks to get the parts to make them. 3 weeks go by and I emailed them 3 different times to ask if the pedal was actually ever coming. Never got a reply, but my pedal did end up at my doorstep within the next week. I'm thinking this was more of a one time thing where they were really busy, but I'll let you guys judge that.

Members CRANK Posted August 3, 2007 Members Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have emailed him twice at the retro site, and Paypaled the payment . I would have thought a return email, and a " Thanks for the Payment" would follow, but alas, nothing. I am a tad worried........ Not panicing yet, and I do think he will send them, but an email would be re-assuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StringsAttached Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 I'm not worried but as a customer I really value communication. It sucks when you feel kinda hung out to dry. It's definitely building my anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CRANK Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 Thanks fellas. Been buying pedals for years off Harmony Central, and TGP, and usually hear the day the payment is recieved ,letting me know they recieved payment, and when pedal will ship. Everybody works different, and I'll just wait. Retro come thru............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Glass Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yes it is based on the tube screamer. We have reduced the midrange. Also we use asymetrical clipping diodes that give it that more transparent sound. Some will say that this decreases the amount of gain, but we think it adds clarity. boss sd 1?

Lawsuit, banned from TGP for scamming members, etc. It's always a good idea to read about people before you send your money to them. http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1681924http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1515648 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CRANK Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 olcircuits, you are dead right !! I've been doing this long enough to know better. Have cancelled transaction, and started a claim with Paypal. Just a friendly return email would have been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members washuffitze3 Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 how long ago did u send the payment? u have no patience it seems. it took 2 weeks or so for me 2 get mine. he will get it to u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CRANK Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 sorry washuffitze3. With Paypal you have a limited time to start a claim before you time out. A notification, with my claim concerns will be sent to retro. If he responds, we may carry thru. At this point, with absolutely no contact from him, I am reluctant to carry on. All the pedal people I have dealt with over the years, get right back the day of payment, and let you know delivery time, and that they actually recieved payment. This thing does smell a little foul . Just a little contact would have been fine. Sorry if this is harsh, but I guess you get what you pay for......

Members StringsAttached Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 What is that paypal time limit incidentally? I'm still holding out now for mine. It's been a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CRANK Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 StringsAttached, They say 1 month from purchase. I would start my claim now, and give Retro some time to come thru. Hopefully he will, but I am not holding my breath. He has had more than enough time to reply. Good luck with yours....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CRANK Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 Don't anybody hold your breath about recieving any pedals. This is the response I just got. "Mike, I am sorry but we will not ship while you have a non-reciept claim. That must be removed before the pedals will ship. We will have no choice but to ship the pedals to the next person on the list.RetroFXPedals.com Next person, fat chance I'll take the claim off. File your claim while you can..........

This is a bald face lie. I had a shipper try the same crap with me. I called PP and they said that all that needs to happen is for the seller to ship, and provide proof to PP. Buyer will then have a chance to respond, and if you get it and the tracking number checks out, claim will be resolved. He can also grant you a refund and the claim will be resolved. The problem is if you cancel the claim, they will NOT let you make a second one. There's no reason to cancel this claim and let some thief and liar make off with your money. Glad I didn't order from these jokers. Their pedals are nothing special anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
