TC Electronic BG250 Club - Page 31

I have the spectracomp set at about 3, and it seems to basically fatten up the sound some. Doesn't really harshly compress anything from what I can tell.

My son ordered me a BG250 for Christmas (long story) from mf. $260 shipped. I printed the mail in coupon but I'm afraid that it won't arrive until it's too late to get the chorus pedal. Regardless, I am very excited to get this thing and start using it. I'll be back here when it arrives with a hopefully glowing report.

Peace and Merry Christmas.

I thought I may face the same problem earlier this month because GC told me the combo was not in stock when I ordered it, although it was scheduled to be shipped before the cutoff date. I emailed the marketing manager for TC Group Americas. I explained I should get the BG 250 in time for the Jan. 7 date to send in the UPC code for the chorus unit but I couldn't guarantee it because who knows what will happen with production and the holiday work schedule and mail delivery and all. (I did get my unit earlier than anticipated because a new batch came in) I explained to her I had done everything I could do to get the item, that is ordering it and tying up my credit card.

She said in my case she would waive the requirement.

That worked for me in my case. It may not work for every case.

But, hey, it doesn't hurt to try.

Hey guys, for those that are using footswitches other than the TC, are you getting the full function? Are you able to toggle between effects and such?

Sorry, I just red that the toggle only works with the BH250. Wish it worked with the BG, too.

Will you PM me that marketing manager's email addy?

I only submitted a general request to their support line.

stepswork4me · #**606** 12-26-2012, 02:45 PM

Like maybe the digitech FS3X or the crate 3 button pedal?

I'm interested in buying a BG250, but the lowest price I've seen here in Oz is $619 AUD. If TC are still keeping an eye on this thread I wouldn't mind an explanation as to why we're being charged so much more here.

There and in Europe. Seems that TC don't care about their neightbours.

I think that this a trader's issue. Going this way seems they are winning nothing.

Isn't this the case with many (most?) products?

here's the link:
http://www.tcelectronic.com/bg250/support/

Thanks man ! I've been looking for about a month and can't find it ahaha

Yep, and it's infuriating that we have to pay more for virtually everything.

Edit: This is the last time I reply using Tapatalk on my phone - didn't quote what I was replying to!

Hmm...but it's not a matter of TC Electronic "charging more in Australia;" it sounds like it's just the way things are.

It looks like consumer goods, big and small, cost twice as much. I assume pay rates are higher also?

And your point is? That I have no right to complain about the cost of TC Electronic products in Australia? It may not amount to them charging us more, but do you honestly think they have no influence at all over the prices?

By the way, I don't know if that web site you provided a link to is worth taking much notice of, given their method of data collection.

Hey, I think you were reading tone into my comments that weren't there. I merely found this to be a mildly interesting diversion. Complain to heart's content...knock yourself out.

That you think TC Electronic owes you an explanation as to why you're being charged more doesn't make much sense to me.

Given that everything costs more, no, I don't think they have any particular influence over the prices.

Regarding the link I posted, again, a mere curiosity. I really don't give a ratsass.

That makes two of us, except that in my case it's a rat's arse.

By the way, the US MSRP is $599. The Australian RRP is $799. Who do ya reckon sets those? Father Christmas?

Got a new bass today and it sounded GREAT going through the twins.
