With a little arts & crafts this is a chance to come up with your own name for it. While I was at it, I'd scratch the Fender logo off of it and replace it with a Squier logo.

Just bought this....(Fender)

Ok...Looked at the board....On a powder coat paint job?
Yeah right!
I’d bet you’ve got a preproduction demo/eval unit. Possibly built and passed around extensively for testing (hence the flaky bypass switch) before Fender’s marketing people settled on the final name for it.
Look at the PCB inside. Are the part numbers and other information stenciled on it - or is it just a plain vanilla board. If it’s plain (or it has wire jumpers) there’s a good chance it’s preproduction or prototype board.
Green....Fender marked in several places....Part numbers in evidence too....
As previously mentioned it sounds ok when the switch works.....
Very cool.
Play it well. Fender’s new effects are pretty nice. I have to hold myself back anytime I see them in a store.

Entertaining thread. Prototypes often make it into the wild even when tightly controlled. I have a prototype ribbon condenser mic from my company that was the result of afternoon dumpster-diving many years ago. The agreement is I keep it for personal use only without selling or trading it away. Seems reasonable to me. When I retire, it won’t be worth squat since it never went to production but is used at rehearsals all the time.
If the switch wasnt disclosed as not working then reverb will take care of it for sure.
Was that the picture on the sale pic? If the switch was disclosed and that's the unit pictured then you may have a hard time if they selected "as described" since it was a mistake on reading it on the buyer's side.

Yes the pic is directly from his ad.....No...the switch was not disclosed....
I've done a ton of dealings on reverb. Reach out to the seller and let them know and request a refund. If they don't do it then go to reverb. Possibility of some damage in transit and the seller probably selected the shipping coverage anyway so everyone wins on getting it squared away.
If he/she gives you a hard time then get in touch with reverb. They're good about fixing this kinda thing pretty quickly.
Have already done as you suggested......Thanks...
Best of luck to you!Have already done as you suggested......Thanks...
Actually, pretty good....if and when the Bypass button decides to work.........
Geezer claims that the graphic must have worn off........
Look at the pic....it was never there....
Whoah, a pedal owned by Geezer Butler? dude.....
$9,999!Ok then....Bidding starts at a grand.....
It is fun being your plant to bump up the price.
Come on... someone out bid me... it is only a dollar...
There was a thread a while ago where a guy bought a used pedal here and it didn't come with the factory box. Guy ranted and raved for pages about it. The pedal-box thing is now sort of a TB standard meme
Pedal looks legit... but I think the hand is a fake.
One related question...
If I order a tort pick guard... should it come in a box?
