Seems like a good deal. Almost pulled the trigger myself, but it's an F-1X that I'm after.

It's GONE. I'd have JUMPED on that...

Just curious, do you remember what they were selling it for?

$699.

Bill, tgo

I tried that one out in person when it was fs at a GC near me. It had a serious squeal in the 2nd channel. I told them about it and they did not care, since they sold it anyway. This is the 3rd time they have sold it now. WARNING: do not buy it.

I was returned as well. Sold a while back at the same price.

Thanks for the heads up!

Just wondering, how do you know it's the same one as those before? 

Exact same price, timing (they are quite extremely rare) within the 45 day return policy and the fact that I doubt anyone at GC knows how to work one.
I usually like Guitar Center for used gear, but on this unit I don't like them just reselling it.

Ah, very good, thanks.  I spoke with them about this after you posted.  They hadn't shipped it yet, but said they could not find the power supply to test it...not a comforting response...

It had a power supply when I played it. Where is it located?

Especially since if they try a power supply with the wrong polarity it will fry something internal and need (additional?) repairs.

There is a small cap (I think instead of a resister) inside that acts as a fuse and will blow if the wrong power supply is used. It's a pretty easy fix and Mica has pics how to do it in the FAQ if I remember right. The units are not too fussy about power supplies if they are the right polarity and around the correct volts.

It's back!

Unless they fixed it, well, it had a hum in the 2nd channel.
