An appropriate question for the seller might be, "Do you really think anyone cares?"

Ya know, I'd have never guessed that that was a graphic equalizer...

I think maybe he was part of some goth or metal band where everything must be as black as possible. What I find interesting is that pedalboard surfaces and stages are oftentimes black, so how could he see where his pedals were? I have 2 words for anyone who does not want to let everyone else see whats on your pedal board: Gaffers Tape. It will not leave residue, and if you get white gaffers tape, you can write misleading names for your pedals, like label your distortion as CLEAN...

and you also must be slightly retarted if you think that the "mystery" pedal with 7 white sliders is anything but a GE-7.

And if you do use tape that leaves some residue, grap your sister hair dryer, and add a little (operative word LITTLE ) heat to make is soft and you can then roll the residue off with your thumb.

Yes, on occasion I have to clean a dirty pedal.

its stupid in general to try to hide what kind of pedals you are using unless you are a huge rockstar. If you're selling common Boss pedals on Ebay for a couple bucks you are not a huge rockstar.

Agreed Dingus! This guy was either thinking "Hey, I don't want anyone to steal my tricks because I am a rockstar!" or "God forbid anyone finds out I use an OC-2 pedal -- they'd think I'm some poseur!"

No, if it was Gwar the pedal would be covered in various fluids and other materials.
