Well I, for one, am shocked! Shocked that people would come to the Seymour Duncan User's Group Forum seeking technical support for Seymour Duncan products! But let's be honest. If you don't know how many pedals SD has sold, you have no way of knowing whether this is a high failure rate or not, do you?
No, I do not...I do know that there are more threads about broken SD pedals on this forum than there are threads on broken Boss pedals on their forum or broken ZVex pedals on their forum, etc...
Yes, I also saw that phenomenal example of outstanding customer service for a pedal that was apparently beyond its warranty period.
Why do you think Duncan is all about help after warranty?? Trust me when I tell you that every single person at SD knows that those damn pedals were poorly built...I was involved FAR too long with them on testing and so on and the issues were made known then ignored.
So now you speak on behalf of the entire music retail community? Or do you mean "the guy at Guitar Center said..."
I am only speaking for the places local to me...GC is included but so are several small music stores. None of them want to deal with SD pedals.
The modification I suggested could be used with any pedal that has a tap tempo switch. But I suppose in your judgement the OP would be better off spending money to buy a different pedal to modify?
No, not what I said at all. I know you can read so please read what I posted. I am simply saying that spending a lot of time and money to mod the Deja Vu might be a waster of said time and money. There are other delay pedals on the market that already do what he is asking so that might be a better choice.
Yes, assuming you are qualified to make the "truthful" statements. Otherwise you are just spreading misinformation. You've already acknowledged that you don't have the facts to back up your relentless bashing of the entire SD pedal line, so why don't you show a little respect?
First, how am I being disrespectful?? I am giving honest info on a product based on my beta testing of the units, real world experience with the units after the testing process and the experience of several other guys I know.
Second, What misinformation??
Since the OP already owns the pedal, your warning not to buy it isn't really all that helpful, is it?
I never told him not to buy it...please read my replies...that statement is not in there. I did urge not to spend big money or time on moding it. I'd hate to see somebody mod a pedal at great cost of both money and time to themselves then have the pedal stop working a few weeks later...I'd hate that if it was ANY pedal but in my experience it'd be far more likely to happen on an SD pedal than just about any other pedal.
