That has got to be the ultimate Reverb troll. Price things way too low, make it pickup only, then say you live in the middle of f'n nowhere. Brilliant.

For $200 you can have an amp, 4x12 cab, pickups, and 5 pedals. Just drive past 37 corn fields, turn left at the broken down schoolhouse, follow the dirt road for a while (in rural terms "a while" is anywhere between 50 and 200 miles), turn right at the scarecrow, it'll be the third haunted house on the left. Cash only.

Not to mention the screenshots of other ppl's pics (i.e. the almost sexy soft focus & gamma strain on the pixels, as well as the poor cropping), easily the quickest BINGO scam card I've seen in a while, but I'm surprised most of the listings are still up :?:

Shoutout 2 the Reverb listing algo for exercising thee dude's diligence of adding the Great Value diamond under each prix tho :lol:

Here's the thing though - looking at his feedback as a buyer, he did actually buy at least 3 of the things he listed (the Palladium, the Boss EQ, and the Schecter bass) on Reverb himself.

And he just put price drops on most of the listings. :lol:

I think the simplest and most plausible explanation is that he's a heroic crusader using his personal wealth to deliberately deflate the overheated secondhand musical instrument market.

Today’s Stupid is the Hercules GS525B five-guitar(/bass/banjo/whatever) rack stand, with two sets of extra neck yokes and bottom foam supports for $65. I think it’s normally $100 without the two extras. So, yeah, seven instruments for less than $10 a pop. I got one this winter and, while not awe inspiring, it’s sturdy enough and can keep a bunch of instruments tidy and handy in a relatively small space. One weird thing if you’re super OCD is that the add-on stuff is built differently than the stock stuff, but that makes it easy to add on. Oh, and you won’t fit seven deep body acoustics or jazz box guitars on one, but you can get one or two in with a bunch of typical solid body instruments. All-in-all, a nice utility/quality-of-life-improvement buy.

It is an awesome Fuzz Face style fuzz, handmade in Calgary by a good friend of mine who is a truly passionate and professional pedal maker.

Yep, that's a BOSS FA-1 tribute and it is the most popular DingoTone pedal, I think.

*today only*

Imaginando is doing a week of anniversary daily deals. Today's offering is their K7D tape plugin. For about 8 EU/USD (desktop) or 1 EU/USD (iOS), it absolutely rips. It's one of the few tape emulators in software form with a preamp control. The randomization feature and LFO sections allow for some exotic drifts---so you can do warm, gritty textures or experimental, glitch/stuttering textures. You can also try the demo for free on desktop.

I'll post again when their granular synth (FRMS) is offered.

Little bummed I didn't see this yesterday but will still try the demo. The other delay they have up there is free though so that is cool.

I grabbed this recently from Plugin Boutique for about the same price, so I imagine there will be more chances this year.
