Order from Best Buy online... you can have it shipped to a store for free, or to your home for a small fee.
My total, with sales tax and UPS shipping: 10.06
I haven't tried it yet, but it's a tank - solid metal. Similar to a Boss enclosure but longer, with a battery compartment on top (nice touch). http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....egories&ks=960

| | | I bought two last week, $1.25 to ship to my house, each, ’cause I bought them separately, having ordered one for a gift to a nephew (guitar) and then thought I’d ordered another… not sure why.
I haven’t tried it, either, but it is substantial feeling.

| | | | This forum will be the death of me (or my marriage). I just ordered one of these with no intended use. Maybe I can use it with the Dean Q4 bass I have on order that I don't need. Thank goodness I missed the Omaha (where I live) Ric for $400 craigslist deal... DARN THE HOT BUYS FORUM!! |

| | | | I tried to find a local BB to pick up, and every one that I clicked on said unavailable. Plan on paying $1.25 shipping plus tax for each pedal, but still a great deal at under $10. I have 2 on the way. I'll compare it to a CE-2. |

"Starcaster" is Fender's drugstore sub-Squier line.
These things have been popping almost everywhere for under $10 over the past year and a guy on a stomp builder's forum says he's been buying dead ones in lots of ten [!] on eBay to strip for parts.
That probably says a lot about them right there.
They're pretty lame as choruses go.
Why only the chorus? I dunno.

| | | | Just got mine. Even though it was brand new and packaged in plastic (which had turned a dingy colour), it had some nicks on it. One of the knob covers fell off as I was dragging it out of the packaging. Still, I thought it sounded pretty damn decent! A lot better than plugging your bass into a Steak n Shake meal of the same value, though that might fatten your tone up a little more (wow, lame puns are coming out, must be 'ten-minutes-till-I-leave-work' syndrome).

|  | Modulus, Ampeg, and Boss oh my! | | Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Birmingham, AL | | | Mine came in today.....it sounds good. Don't expect the world, but for $10 I am thinking about ordering a few more...why? B/c it is $10 shipped! I have a Hardwire CR-7 that I absolutely love and I was A/B'ing them back and forth....I think you can dial in some very usable tones with the Fender. Overall, I think it is a great deal.....even at retail price it would be a good deal. |

| | | | It's got a lot of knobs, rate and depth being 2 of them. Maybe I can turn the rate down and depth up and get a Bridge of Sighs type of vibe. Either that or if the pedal sucks (to you) give it to some kid learning to play. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Michigan | | | Much like Norwaybro, my package was a dingy, yellowish color and smelled all mildew-y?! Also, the plastic on the package looked like it had been ripped apart by a wolverine on pcp...and the bottom of the pedal was a bit shredded (by said wolverine?) from being pulled out of the package, presumably. For 10 bucks though, not too bad. Can't see people wanting to buy more than one. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
