This. So, in case the buyer doesn't know how to operate the volumes, when I gigged with a Jubilee the Lead and Output master basically have to be matched in order to keep the clean/lead volume equal between channels. I remember having them both at around 6-7 at a gig.LP Freak":bwv2zibk said:Operator error and throw in a slight case of buyers remorse

Some of these clown buyers will do this just to try out stuff, then claim it has an issue if they just don't dig it. Or, they say there is an issue and "how about sending me 80 bucks and I'll take it to my tech?" I caught one douche claiming an issue, at the same time he's got it for sale on ebay for 25% more than what he paid. Same amp. Same serial #. I won that dispute.Deanmachine":2e4lvpf7 said:That's odd because I sold an amp on reverb and this buyer had a similar reason said there's a volume difference in hi and low input it ( non switchable Bogner Helios) it had new tubes and I never had a problem with it ..I refunded the transaction after receiving the amp back and I can't find the problem ...wonder if this is a thing now I've sold and bought for 15 years and this is my first refund .

I had this happen on ebay more than once. Stopped using them to sell because of this.

Hey Dean, that was me with the Helios issues on the low input. Was by no means an issue of buyer's remorse etc. Can't tell you how many amps I've owned over the years and I've never asked for a return from the seller on a used item. In this case, I just did not feel right paying a tech/sending to Bogner to troubleshoot an amp that was sold as operating normally. As I discussed in the messages on Reverb, I've owned the Helios before and am aware of how they're supposed to sound.
I mean, I lost $200 bucks on the transaction just repacking it and shipping it back across the country which I didn't WANT to do, I assure you.
Anyway, you were cool about the situation and we took care of it civilly which I appreciate.

If it worked fine when you left, how do you know he didn't spill a drink on it while at practice, or maybe there's a lot of cigarette/pot smoking going on at practice getting down in those sensitive electronics.
The only way I'd work with him is if he took it to a qualified tech that ISN'T his best friend or something, and the tech calls you and says yeah hey, turns out so and so resistor was blown, it'll be $60 or whatever. Then you can work out a deal with him on splitting up or you paying the tech fee for an actual bad part. Otherwise, it sounds like buyer's remorse. He bought it, it's his.

I agree. I've been doing it long enough, I can smell BS a mile away.
When I bought my Yeti, I got it with bent transformers, the 1/2 power switch turned out to be an FX loop bypass, (that was faulty that I had to fix), and the tube buffered FX loop wasn't tube buffered at all. He was smug about it, didn't take any ownership of it, whatsoever. He even admitted, (after I confronted him), that he had issues with the switch, and tubes, (also after the fact, and I retubed it, (at my expense), and told him it had bad tubes). I let it go, and after fixing everything, left positive feedback anyway, (since he had a great reputation, up to that point, and I decided to just be a nice guy). A MONTH later, that fucking asshole left me negative feedback, for no reason, other than just to be a fucking asshole. Asshole.
