SDE-3 Incoming

The Guitar Center definitely has their thumb on the used pedal market.

Don't these sell for $200 brand new?

Oh yeah. GC doesn't float their prices against new prices at all, so quite often there's pricing issues with sales.

There's a GT-1000CORE at my local store that has been sitting for close to a year because they mislabeled it as a full GT1k and had it priced for like $700 used. It seems like they finally dropped the price to $500 but used Cores go for under $400 now.

If SDE doesn't pan out for you, I suggest the Strymon DIG if you are going down the digital rabbit hole

The OCD part of my brain is still fired up about compact Boss pedals which I have been slowly collecting used or on sale.

I'd love to get a DIG but that same stupid brain would have me start trying to get a "matching set" of Strymons.

I thought about the Core for about 5 seconds mainly because the size and functionality. Thing is, if I'm not using an FM3 for FX; ZERO chance I'm buying a Core for that same purpose.
