I hope you're happy with the Tweaker, which was a great deal from Ed by the way, if not we can sort something?

This place has been amazing to me. My amps came from KiwiAxe, Grantb & Werdna. My guitars from Conway, Bender and ASH. Conway, SiHirst, Opsguy, Singlecoil and Thewilltopowerrock have all sold me pedals.

And apparently I’v got a bit of a hoarding issue, cos it’s pretty much all been inbound traffic.

Doh, I should've added you to that list - your offer to trade amps and coordinate the shipping was simply awesome!

The tweaker is a fantastic amp. I am doing a bit of a Molly with it though as I try to refine my setup.

The only trade that I've ever had really go sour was the dreaded DSL saga of 2009 with Aquila Rosso.

probably the best trade I`ve done here was with a guy who lives close to mt eden village. he left the pedal in the letterbox, I left the cash.
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Pretty sure every trade I've done through here has been great, with items described as they came. From:

- TcMB
- Scarecrow
- Molly
- Lawrence
- chrisbowers
- Miniforklift (not a trade, but something much more weirder and needing more trust)
- Olderama
- stuu
- Single Coil
- AirDad
- Kloppsta
- Mattallica
- (more I've forgot)

Some of this was $3000 guitars, a Helix, and big heavy amps too, all been good

While I thought I wouldn't have much to add to this thread, it seems I misremembered how many trades I've done, haha.

I can't begin to count the trades I've done with folks on the forum, but I'm pleased to say they've all been positive experiences. Of course, I generally didn't know I wanted whatever it was you were selling till you listed it, so I'm not sure I should thank any of you...

I did a trade a little while back with a guy called Will from TM (Pihau) for an Egnater Rebel 30 head.

I picked up the head - Will showed me that it worked and it sounded great. When I got home, it was noisy as hell. It seems that his superior equipment was covering up the noise.

Will was awesome enough to let me drop back - figured out the issue, which was a noisy tube. He swapped it for a different one, showed me how to bias the new tube, gave me a couple of spares he no longer needed, and let me have a play on his guitar.

And that's how you do it folks. :)

I'm actually stoked with the head too, I kind of bought it on impulse and was gutted when it was making noise. The snob in me thought I'd be replacing it pretty quickly. It actually sounds lovely on it's own, didn't cost me an arm and a leg, and with my modelling gear it's part of the best sounding rig I've had to date.
