MXR Carbon Copy!! Which website must I buy from?

josh

Hi guyz
GAS has hit me on my birthday!! Today I am going to go & pickup my EHX Pocket Metal Muff!! I'm sooo excited. Well thats the 1 pedal that i am getting. Now onto the next. I need a delay pedal & I have decided on the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay. Now here comes the questioning: At Marshall Music this pedal goes for something stupid like R3000 or whatever. Now I am only 15years old so I'm trying to find out which site would be the best for getting the pedal. The 2 sites that I have chosen are Take2.co.za & Proguitarshop.com. Both sites have better prices compared to SA's retail prices. Now I want to know which site must I buy from & how
Long would/should it take to arrive in SA. I have attachted the links for the 2 websites, so I would love your opinions & experiences on importing pedals!! Oh & for the proguitarshop I have to pay $25 US Express so I just added that to the $149 for the pedal. So thanks guys
Regards
Josh

It's $150 - same as proguitarshop. But the shipping, I believe, is $14 - right MIKA? 1 year guarantee too, I think. It'll be on the site.

Be aware you may pay some duty.

And if you'd said that in the first place, instead of acting like you were purposefully ignoring what I said, you wouldn't have got an angry response. ?

Firstly, as you should know from reading and participating in GFSA, all music shops in SA have this irritating habit of marking things at one price but actually selling them at a lower price.

It doesn't sound like you know the real sticker price at Marshall. Find out what that is and then see what they'll really sell it for - it will be less than the sticker price, and if you like the price you'll walk out of the shop with the pedal.

Otherwise go with Take2. The price they quote will be the price that the item is delivered to you at - no surprises - and you're supporting a local company.

Note the warning they give you.

Tonefactor is always my first go to... but up late they have been quite bad with stock, and even worse with service...... But that another story for another day.
"Pyrmaxe vintage gear" thats where I went this time, they have nearly evrything in stock, and you have choices of fast or slow shipping, and its cheaper.....
If you want me to choose between the two you suggested, it would be Proguitarshop, because I trust them, and I know they are not idiots, they have a name to uphold....

I have ordered from proguitarshop in the past. Took 2 weeks to get here. Orders over 400 dollars ship for free. I was going to get a carbon copy, but ended up deciding on the malekko delay. Nick who plays with me has an EHX memory boy, which also sounds good. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these delays.
