Search on Best Buy's site. I would post a link but on my phone.

Apparently store only.

I want one, but they don't ship and it's not available at any stores near me. :-(

Some are at the store near me. Good Christmas gifts...thanks

Anyone have experience with any of these?

I had the pastrami for guitar. It is okay. I mean this are decent, but not amazing pedals listed on the bestbuy website.

Thanks a ton for the heads up!

Just picked up 7 of the more interesting ones for $63.05 at my area store. I've used a couple of their pedals in the past and have liked some while disliking others, but couldn't resist. I did skip the dirt pedals, including the pretty cool Frenchtoast, because I have more cheap dist/od/fuzz than I can handle right now as is.

As Delta said, great for gifts if nothing else, and you might be able to get a cheap fill-in for whatever you're lacking--I'm excited to have a vibrato and regular flanger pedal to play with even if they don't sound that great.

In case their regular retail price doesn't give it away, let me say that most of the components are surface-mount in these pedals, so they don't make great modding platforms. I figured that might be some folks incentive for picking them up.

I picked up several today, for the same reasons that Dullsilver Mike mentioend above.

They had sold a lot and a guy came in after me and was buying up almost all the rest.

I got Music 123 to price match one for me this morning if your local best buy is out.

Wow! I thought about that but figured they wouldn't go that low.

Music 123 refused to price match for me. They said that Best Buy is getting out of the Musical Instrument biz and is no longer an authorized Danelectro dealer. They only match authorized dealers. Suxors.

I got the same message myself... If anybody ended up with an extra octave fuzz or chicken salad they'd wanna sell for that price pm me

Is best buy really getting out of the music instrument biz? Anyone confirm this? Would mean some good sales near me....

jondog · #14 12-09-2011, 04:37 AM

I'm sure Music 123 wouldn't lie to me

I submitted mine online and they only took a dollar off. I called them up and they said that they did a local (their local, not my location) and since their BB didn't have any they rejected the price match. When I called them and pointed out that there are many best buys, including a semi-local one to me which had them they did the price match right away. French Toast here I come

jondog · #16 12-09-2011, 07:06 AM

Maybe I should just try the price match request again w/ a different email address and hope I get a different clerk who doesn't say Best Buy isn't authorized to sell Danelectro?

SkiFor3 · #17 12-09-2011, 06:39 PM

I just picked up 6 of these pedals. Total price: 49.91
If you have a best buy that has these but are out ask if they will sell the demo model. The sales guy couldn't believe these were 5-10$ each.

morrisonhendrix · #18 12-09-2011, 06:46 PM

Yeah, one of the four I bought was the demo model.

I picked up 3 today; the auto wah, an EQ, and a delay. Plus a headphone amp for a bud's Christmas present. With cables, under $50.

They're not bad; relatively quiet for stompers, and the auto wah has a 'low/high' switch, apparently for using w/ bass. Not a m-tron, but fun.
