Tonebender???

Holy!...that's cheap. Used ones this way at L+M are usually at least over $125

Was it "used well" or something? If it was old and beat up a bit there is a chance that it is a 5 digit serial number? If so you got a good deal (either way)

The newer ones have 6 digits and some experience around here says the 5 digit ones sound better. I did have 3 at one time and found the 5 digit one to be a bit "warmer" and less harsh on the same settings

Yep. Let's just say that when I got it, it was covered in some "unknown sticky liquid". I'ma go with beer. ;) Needless to say, I was a little leery of the functionality, but I got a full on 30 day money back guarantee, so that set me at ease. Oh, and it was also missing the battery cover. Big whoop. Once I cleaned it up, it's in fantastic shape. Like I said, best $50 I ever spent on a pedal. :bassist:

Dangit, now I have to go looking for a serial #. :D

If it has a battery cover its probably a 6 digit. The serial # sticker is located right above the battery cover. Like the one below.

My older one doesnt have a battery cover (i use adapter power anyways) and the sticker is where the battery cover is on the newer ones.

Not sure when the changeover happened, but i bet Thom knows.
