HA! GUITAR CENTER is trying to sell my old DESTROYED amp!!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
http://used.guitarcenter.com/usedGea...stId=104173865

Check this out. The baffle was damaged in shipping and look at the titanium bar on the top!!!!!!



This amp sounded like a bowl of farty Rice Krispies and was part of a UPS claim.

Good night. It was perfect when they shipped it to me.

Look what UPS can do!

I bet they hot glued the baffle back into place. That amp was hosed as well. This is a warning as well to stay away.

So it sounds like a typical GC used amp, right?

This thing was crushed by a forklift. Verified by UPS when I had to file the claim.

Oh man what a coincidence. Obliterating this amp will be a perfect encore to smashing my cheap bass!

Any amp I've ever had that sounded like this was immediately 'deep-sixed'... Rice Kripsies should know better than try to muscle their way into music gear!!!

I'm going to call Zoom and ask for "Farty Rice Krispies" to be added as downloadable patch
