Title: Just venting. All of my pedals "went" missing during my resent move.
Post by: jimmybjj on August 19, 2012, 11:44:53 PM
I don't sell many pedals, so basically all of the pedals i have done build reports have gone missing :( (except for 5 that i had in a different box) I am completely moved in and all boxes unpack but no pedals.

In the unlikely even you guess see any of these pedals floating around and recognize them as mine, please let me know. Mictester compressor, deep blue delay (cave dweller), isp decimator (shhhh...), ross compressor blend (tone dress), fuzz with bias led (honey fuzz), wiener wah, grapevine, rat (narq), hotcake, mn3005 dirtbag, ocd (STD), tonebender III, rust driver.

WTF? Did you move yourself or have a company helping you out?

That is terrible!

Do you have pictures or links to these pedals? I will keep an eye out, i'm subscribed to many gear selling pages and other stuff like that....

No, i did the moving all myself. The only thing i can figure is something fell out of the trailer, someone snatched a couple (some other stuff missing as well) of boxes while unloading or loading.

man, that's awful! I just moved apartments and am still kinda living out of boxes, cuz I'm really unorganized.
Still missing my lemon oil fretboard cleaner and ipod cable...it'll turn up!

Post by: raulduke on August 20, 2012, 09:07:32 AM
Thats bad news dude.

I hope they turn up.

My experience with moving is that stuff that was thought to be lost, starts to emerge from nowhere after a couple of months when the dust settles.

Thanks for all of the offers guys (and there were a bunch of you) I appreciate the generosity, thats what separates this board for the rest. I appreciate the sentiment, but i have doubles of almost all of the pcbs that i have made in the past so i have plenty to work on.

Sorry to hear about this!  Those were some great builds  :-[

Hopefully they turn up.

Dude that sucks some major butt. I know you have but I would be going over that move as I don't find it a coincidence that the box with the pedals was pilched  >:(

Post by: pickdropper on August 20, 2012, 12:17:34 PM
Yeah, that's terrible.  I really hope those turn up at some point.

Sorry to hear that, bud. I'll keep an eye out.

Is anything else missing? If the pedals were targeted, it'd seem it have to be someone who knows pretty well what they'd be worth, because they're not something that'd be easy to move at a pawn shop.

That's awful. :( My sympathies and I really hope they turn up somewhere.

Man, that sucks! They probably won't make it to europe, but I'll invest an hour or two in looking at online stores/sites that sell music stuff etc. Good luck on the rebuilding......

Heck, I would wager you 99.5% of most people wouldn't even know what they are too.

Yeah, considering how unique the artwork is on each one, you could easily prove they were yours with old photos.  Assuming somebody even knew what they were and tried to pawn them or put them on ebay.

Major bummer. Here's hoping the box is buried under blankets or whatnot.

No way! Is there any boxes unpacked?
Title: Re: Just venting. All of my pedals "went" missing during my resent move.
Post by: jimmybjj on August 31, 2012, 05:26:14 PM
Nope, all unpacked. They grew legs and walked away :( but the good part is i have pcbs for most of the ones that are gone.

Everytime I see this thread pop up as new, I open it hoping to see that they all showed up.

We can hope, right  :)

No doubt. I stay pissed about it and they are not even my pedals!

Guess I'm not helping the OP get over it though  :P
