Lovepedal ‘Sale’

[la szum]

Bought a Box of Awesome in gold to replace the one I had to sell.

Almost 100% confident Sean has never made a Box of Awesome in Gold.

Have a pic of the pedal you think is defective?

I'm 100% confident he has. He did during the SNS prior to the last one.

Pic?

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Pic?

Why do I owe you a picture, exactly? Am I selling you something? Your insinuation that I am lying is kind of funny.

 

[la szum]

I am just curious. A pic doesn't seem that outlandish. I have never seen one in real life.

Was that from the run of only Gold pedals he did last winter?

Did you try running it alone and not in line with other pedals? K'zoo
doesn't always like buffered pedals around it.

If you think it is defective why not return it to the seller, who charged
you $60 more than Sean sold it for and sold it as "Brand New?"

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Cool! Was that from the run of only Gold pedals he did last winter?

I think it was the SNS from March. Either way, I should've held out for the blue version. The person who sold this one bought it from the SNS and resold it. Then I got saddled with something that doesn't work correctly.

Would a buffer cause a pedal to hardly reach unity volume? If not, then I fail to see the point. PS, my blue BOA was in line with quite a few buffers.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

By the way, this'll probably be another ~$30-40 shipping back and forth, on top of the $225 I already paid. To be honest, I could've gotten a better pedal at that point.

 

[la szum]

Yeah, K'zoo can have issues with being connected to buffered pedals, but your Blue
one was cool, so that is probably not the issue.

I'd just create a claim/return with Reverb and send it back to the dude in Hawaii who sold
it as "Brand New" when it was secondhand, Ace. That's dishonest. No sense you having to
eat it or pay any costs or hassle with it if there is something legitimately wrong with it.

You can easily do a Return through your Reverb Purchase history.

If you go through Reverb they'll help you out on that.

That guy made enough profit he can pay for return shipping.

It seems to have a manufacturing defect, so I don't feel it is fair to the seller. I need to decide if the pedal is worth $250+ with shipping to and from Sean to actually want to go through with getting it looked at or not. I'm more focused on the EMG Revelation Bridge/S2/Revelation Neck setup I ordered custom from Alison at EMG.

 

[la szum]

Well, I'd potentially argue that it is not fair to Sean.

He sells a pedal to a guy in Hawaii, who then marks it up, and sells it to someone else as "Brand New"
when it was clearly not.

That's being both dishonest and an opportunist, in my eyes.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Well, I'm an idiot. While I didn't notice it with my other pedals, it was very apparent with the Kalamazoo side of the BOA. La szum, thank you for the note about the buffer. While I don't think that was necessarily an issue, I eliminated everything but the EMG ES-918 (power supply), BOA, and the Two Notes Cab M+. Oh, hey... there's the volume. Quite a bit, actually. I put it back within the rest of the rig, and it went back to having the issue I was experiencing.

Apparently, the problem was the output setting on the Boss MS-3. I set it from L to L+R, and now there is all of the volume back. The Marshall pedals in my other loops side better too, though I did have to pull the volume from the output on the MS-3 back some.

As we say in IT, PEBCAK -- or in this case, PEBCAPB. (Problem exists between chair and keyboard, or in this case, chair and pedalboard)

 

[la szum]

Oh man! It's just awesome you found out what was going on.

One thing I discovered after years of gigging and setting up and tearing down
so often was that 9 times out of 10 a perceived problem was on our end, and
how we connected everything, or didn't connect everything.

 

[la szum]

And for the record, I think the Gold is the best color Sean has done on the BOA!

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

I work in IT, so I'm used go people either making mistakes (either due to carelessness or because they should've taken a break), so that is my go to.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

I forgot: I prefer the blue, but gold is great too.

You probably know. I didn't see them listed last time around.
