Magic Stomp or Alesis Q2

[tonechaser]

Hi, im new to this board, hope im posting in the right place, im looking for either a magic stomp or a quadraverb Q2, ive seen some for sale on the well known auction site and wonder what you guys would go for, it needs to the genuine EFTP patches.
Sorry guys I just found a thread about this subject.

Thanks

Charlie won't give support to any unit with EFTP bought on the well known auction site, and on old units like these I would rate his support as important.

Tricky one
And it also depends on wether they are genuine EFTP.
Originally in preference some time ago, the Q2 was rated just above the Magicstomp but I must say, in my opinion having used a Magicstomp with the genuin patches, was difficult to beat.
I am now fortunate to own a H&C now this is a different kettle of fish, this machine is the bees knees as they say and I honestly can’t fault it and works extremely well in a live situation, I can highly recommend.

Quite so. Way back in time I bought my Q2EFTP from said auction site, "genuine, with all original paperwork" and all that B----it. Some yrs later I discovered that it was a total Fake!!

Thats a bit odd, why is there no support for genuine EFTP units bought from the well known site, the Q2 I was looking at was bought by the present owner from Charlie Halls son *** Hall, so theirs no support for that one then

Charlie will answer that himself if he sees this, but it's to do with pirated units.

Ok thanks for the info, I can understand the implications of pirated software and copyright.

, its not good when a person has put in lots of time and effort perfecting it and then someone steals it

Hi,
Nearly all units on the well known auction site are found to be pirated. Honestly, it's the main reason they are there. It has cost me a lot of time verifying these units when requested to do so. Private sellers can use this site for free to advertise their items for sale. Also, because the well known auction site would not support me when I filed a genuine claim against a seller, I decided from then to on refuse to support any unit bought via the well known auction site. This decision has stopped a lot of my time being wasted.
Regards,
Charlie

Not trusting the afore said auction site, I bought a Magic Stomp. from a member of THIS site who advertised it on HERE, I got all the paperwork etc etc, when I came to selling it on HERE , it turned out to NOT be registered with Charlie, it is now languishing in a drawer, so there seems to be NO way to be safe.

Hi Frank,
I don't remember if further action was taken at the time. If the member who sold it to you is still on this site, or even if you are not sure, please PM me.
Regards,
Charlie

Hello Charlie, At the time you told me that he was no longer a member and I have not seen him here since , his name was ***. ( not your *** of course).
I didn't post this to cast a slur on your site, simply to inform that nothing is safe,
regards

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your reply and for the info which I have to admit I still don't remember!
Regards,
Charlie

Hi Charlie. Feb 8th 2017 I sent you the info, Feb 9th ( next day) you replied with who you thought it was.

Frank

Hi Frank,
Thank you. I found the messages thread and remember it better now. I still don't really know who he is though, except for his name.
Regards,
Charlie
