I stopped at Vinyl Tap this afternoon to check it out. Not disappointed, but not what I though it would be. They seem to deal mostly in 12" singles for DJ's, which makes sense once you go into the sister store across the street (Audio Depot, soon to be closing) which has a lot of DJ quality turn tables, mixers, etc. They also have a few beginner guitars, which is why I stopped in, since anyplace that does anything with guitars will also carry strings, which is what I needed. And then I came upon something that made me very happy. A used Pro Co Rat distortion/overdrive pedal that I got for $65, a steal considering most of the models with the logo of the one I got go for at least 100 on ebay.
So today, I got a great pedal for cheap, met a couple cool people who were working the shops, and Matt came up to visit. Unfortunately my plan to take him downtown was cut down with the snow which melted before the streets were salted, so with the cold it all just turned to ice, which made driving on highly crowned roads incredibly difficult. So rather than continue to where the slant got even worse, I turned home and we hung out, watching football and playing darts.
I'm still pumped about that pedal.
