Please note pedal #8 by Malt does not engage and disengage as the footswitch was painted over.  The pedal is engaged/effect on only.  If you try to use the footswitch it will not work as the artist drilled the switch to feature it as the 'birds eye'.  

There are absolutely no returns on any of these pedals.  This is a charity auction.  The money is being paid to a Foster kids care organization.

If you do not read and understand what you are buying it is your own responsibility.  There will be no returns for any reason, even claims of damage from the postal carrier.
