On occasion I throw up a fuzz pedal for auction on ebay and star the price of bidding for the cost of the pcb. I sold a dirt transmitter for $34 bucks in November. I got a reply this morning frk. The owner saying the pedal smoked? He admitted to tampering with it after. I honestly can't see anything wrong with the pedal from the photos. I think he is trying to scam me in some way. What do you all think? Message pasted below.
"Hey dude, sorry just got around to testing your pedal. I was testing 7 dif. fuzzes between 6 (echo)delays tonight. D to F to D, some cool results. I was running controls for test and I verified all cables already, power supply etc. I couldn't get pedal to light up, it did make a very high squeal and killed my chain's sound. I opened and all i could find was switch GND (5)wire fried against SW(2). The whole top row looks like it got hot( or bad stripper lol), and the footswitch bottom row is not like any wire diagram i have found, but I'm no expert. I didnt try very hard and i didn't pull board out, it's too late. Lol. I moved wire for second picture to see burn mark. Any ideas or what you want to do?"
