So a good friend of mine lost his brother recently. He was a guitar player, so my friend, who knows nothing about guitar, asked me to help him inventory his brother's gear so he could sell it to help his brother's family. For the last couple of days, he's been taking pictures of everything and sending it to me so I can give him a price estimate and help him with the specs etc.. We've been through maybe 20 guitars, 3 amps and a huge amount of pedals and accessories. It's nothing really high-end but a good $10k worth of gear when it was all said and done.
Today, he send me a tracking number and said that he is sending me one of his brother's pedals, the Atomic Amplifire 3 modeler as a "thank you" for all the work. I had mentioned I was considering buying that one from him so he decided to just give it to me. I told him he didn't have to do that and I'd be more than happy to pay for it, but he insisted. So I should be getting it within the next couple of days.
It's cool because I've been wanting one of these units, but I'm mostly sad for my buddy. He was really close to his brother. I met him a few times and he seemed to be a nice guy, we talked about guitar and gear etc... so this one is bittersweet, although I think it's cool I get to hold on to one of the pieces. I know it meant a lot to him that I helped him out so it's all good.
