A guy at guitar center told me today..

[travisbrown]

No he didn't.

[JumpingInFire]

As far as profit is concerned he would be correct!

[ltjohnrambo]

ZVex pedals don't have the patented Digitech AudioDNA™ Super Chip. There's no way they could be as good as the Digitech stuff.

[bigfurry]

What was your response? Did it involve eye rolling and mockery!?

[PhilDW]

Check out the rad *discontinued* RP200?

I worked for Guitar Center for about a month. I was between jobs and needed to eat. I couldn't stand half the know-it-alls out there who clearly knew more about fashion, tattoos, and body-piercing than music gear. A few guys knew their stuff. But they weren't the top sales people and didn't call everyone "brah".

Moral of the story, use the GC employees as cashiers only. Do your own research. Or better yet, don't buy from a large chain store and expect to get the service you'd find from a local owner/operator type of shop.

O_o

As far as boutique pedals go, zvex is crap...
But what the hell would prompt him to compare them to digitech crap, I can't even fathom.

[uncle muscles]

They definitely had an anniversary edition of some rp model on display

[uncle muscles]

I politely explained what I thought about and why I like them :thumbsup:

To move product, plain and simple.

When I was shopping for a new clean amp at Mars Music several years back, this old hippie saleman (who was cool to talk to after we got past his sales BS) started out telling me that if he were to buy a new amp, one of the best ones out was the Behringer Blue Devil combo.

[jammybastard]

I bet he said the Digitech had more "mojo".
