To describe an Epiphone as an "Amazing guitar", begs belief, hence my comment! Regarding the "Rat" pedal incident, I doubt it didn't sell because of my honest comments staing that manufacturers are constantly downgrading components & parts in later versions of what was originally a great pedal, or whatever Instrument, (You chose) Wake up to the fact that most Music Industry manufacturers are selling tarted up gear, put together with the cheapest components they can find. It explains why so many cheaper Guitars, Amps & pedals break down & are in constant need of repair. Scan the Forums, not only this one, & see many people asking, "Where can I get this fixed"? Any comments made by me regarding equipment for sale on this Forum have been made to try & enlighten you of the Info above, & not to Stir up a Hornets nest!. So, carry on throwing your "Hard earned" @ the Big boys while they rub their hands laughing. Oh, & which bus goes to Neg?
