guys,

thought of trying out and making decision on some boutique pedals out there .. in your experience which store(s) are more hassle-free in term of buying and exchanging or returning disliked pedals?

i would say any store with a flexible return/exchange policy. i'd suggest being upfront with the salesperson, telling them exactly what you'll be doing, and that you plan on keeping at least one of the pedals you try. make sure everything's cool, ask for suggestions, and ALWAYS deal with just that person.

i've done this with a few customers of mine, and it was all good because i knew what was going on.

If you're talking about online stores, then there's a bunch of links to good ones in the FAQ. I've acquired most of my crap through trades, craigslist, ebay and direct buying from makers, so I can't give personal experience, but the FAQ will give you a starting point.

I worked at sam ash for a while. They have a 30 day return policy to get cash back. Jetpackbassist is right, tell the salesman what your doing up front and they will be cool with it. Just be careful and dont get the pedals all nasty. Salesman hate it when they counted on a good commission and things got returned. First off if you tell them your intentions. Secondly, they dont make much on pedals anyway so its less of an issue.

yeap,

that's what i've been doing with my salesperson in regular store (MF, 123, SameDayMusic) etc ... but on these 'boutique' shops well they have less days to return item, some has to call for RA instead of email, and many has 20% restocking fee too .. and I don't have a salesperson to contact to with

but .. we'll get there

thanks!

That's a small store, I believe it's only Teddy (the owner) plus a part time helper.

Always always always call MusicToyz to confirm availability before placing an online order.
