What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!

This thing has pad for itself 30 times over and it still is so useful in so many applications ! I have had many octapads over 40 something years but this is obviously still such a great "work horse" I look forward to the next gen of the octapad !

The Octapad has been out for decades. They just keep making it better and better. It is still a staple as an addition to a percussion kit or ensemble. The sounds are phenomenal. The tech is top notch. Not overtly complicated to operate, though it takes a time investment. I've had several pieces of Roland equipment over the years, and they are always reliable, robust and bring satisfaction to the user.

I sold my SPD-SX to buy the SPD-30. The SX just wasn't working for me and the SPD-30 is perfect for my application. My sales engineer Patrick Weaver always takes good care of me. Ordered the SPD-30 on Friday and was using it the following Monday morning. Thanks Pat!

Incredible! Definitely a worthwhile investment for your percussion needs. Be advised it can be a bit overwhelming with all the applications and possibilities this octopad can do. Once you get to exploring the functions and familiarize ones self with the controls it's a breeze. I use it to create a hybrid kit with my acoustic drums. Bottom line is I'm very happy with the purchase. Enjoy!

I was skeptical at first, before bringing it home. I am very happy with the Octapad now that I have owned it for a month.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Shawn Fitzgerald

I originally bought an Octapad because I wanted to add special sounds to my acoustic kit live. Roland's factory sounds make it particularly attractive, and while the pads are super playable, I love that I can use triggers connected to my kick and snare to play sounds. It's exactly what I wanted and more! What surprised me the most about the Octapad is that it's also a perfect practice tool. One of the ways I use it is to record troublesome rhythms, slow them down, isolate parts, and work my way up to tempo.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
