Terms and Conditions for Skreddy Pedals

Updated 3-JUL-2023

Privacy Act Statement: Your information will be used to fulfill your order for Skreddy Pedals products and services. We do not disclose your information to third parties without your consent, except to facilitate the transaction, to act on your behalf or request, or as legally required.

Cookies

Our shopping cart is driven by PayPal, and PayPal will set cookies on your browser to facilitate your transaction and the ability to save your cart and return to it later.

Made to Order

We make our products on an as-ordered basis.  We do not carry any products in stock.  It takes a while to get through our order list and to make your pedal.  The current wait time as listed on each product page (i.e,; about 2 weeks or so) is an estimate; this is subject to change due to many factors including those outside of our control.  We try but are not always successful at keeping our dealers stocked.

Shipping

We use US Postal Service Priority Mail for domestic shipping, and we will calculate the cost when we send your final invoice.

We use US Postal Service Priority International for shipping outside of the US, when we can.  Some countries will need Express Mail instead of Priority.  We will calculate the cost of shipping and add it to your final invoice.

International Customs/Import Taxes

Please be aware of YOUR COUNTRY'S customs and tax policies and don't blame me if/when your order is subject to import taxes or fees or whatever, based on the actual price you paid.  Don't expect us to under-value your commercial invoice for customs.

Noise and Stacking

When you run two or more "dirt" pedals, i.e., boosts, overdrives, distortions, or fuzzes, concurrently, you are "stacking."  Generally the recommended way to stack dirt pedals is to set all of their gains very low for the minimum amount of noise.  STACKING INCREASES NOISE LEVELS. 




Return Policy

I warrantee all my products to be free of defects, and will fix or replace as needed, up to 3 years from the original ship date, whether or not you are the original purchaser. 

If I send you a defective or unsatisfactory pedal, please consider having me fix it or improve it for you rather than returning it for a refund.  You are nevertheless welcome to a refund of the original purchase price if you return it in the same condition as you received it, within 3 weeks of receiving it. 

For defective products, I will email you a return label. For buyer's remorse, you pay the return shipping.



Disputes and Charge-backs

If you are unhappy for any reason with your transaction, please make some honest effort to contact me before filing a payment dispute.  If I am late with your order, I will give you a discount to help make up for it.  If I left a question unanswered, please remind me. 

Total Quality and Continuous Improvement

Every Skreddy Pedals product is subject to continuous revision and improvement.  If there is a quality issue or something you don't like about your pedal, let us know.  We would like to fix it.  We want our products to get better and better all the time. 

Use at your own risk

Skreddy Pedals is not responsible for any personal injury or damage to any equipment or other property arising out of the use of our products.

Any amplifier can pose an electrocution hazard if not properly grounded; the "hot" power can electrify the "ground" wire and shock you through your guitar strings if you touch a grounded microphone, for example.  Have a qualified electrician check the polarity of any mains power supply you use and ensure that the hot and neutral are not reversed and that the ground wiring is functional.  Do not use an amplifier that does not have a properly-grounded 3-prong power supply. Make sure the amplifier's ground and the microphone's ground are connected to the same circuit. Even "grounded" equipment can carry voltage differences between different "ground" circuits which a guitarist may discover through the lips whilst singing background vocals.

Power Supplies

We do not include batteries, and we do not sell or supply power supplies.  Please buy one of any number of appropriate power supplies from the many manufacturers that service that market.  E.g.; Diago, Dunlop, Boss, Ibanez, Morley, T-Rex, Voodoo Lab, Godlyke, BBE, Gator, Rocktron, Volz, etc. (all trademarks are the property of their respective owners)

Please ensure that any power supply you use to power your effects are the proper polarity and voltage.  Skreddy Pedals use negative-ground polarity and accept the industry-standard 9v DC power supplies, which have a 5.5mm barrel (positive) and 2.1mm center (negative) coax plug.  If you share a single power supply among multiple effects, you are responsible to make sure they are of the same negative-ground polarity (otherwise you risk damaging the effects and/or your power supply).  You can use up to 18v DC to power your Skreddy Pedals (unless the particular product's manual says otherwise) without damaging them, but they generally sound just fine at 9v.  For example the phasers call for 9v only and will sound different, more intense, with higher voltages, since they are run by means of LEDs and light-dependent resistors, and I have conserved space by not including an internal voltage regulator in them.
