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)!
FREE shipping on most items
Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

I use this in conjunction with other distortion and fuzz puddles and they all go great together

GREAT PRODUCT!

I've owned a number of Tube Screamers and TS style pedals over the years (TS808, TS9, TS mini, Fulldrive, etc.), and you just can't beat the real deal. This pedal sounds exactly like the TS808 that one Eric Johnson picked out for me in 1984. Love it!

Needed something to tighten up my mesa DR. This worked perfectly and added a nice bite to the tone as well. Now channels 2 and 3 are scorching. Using a 50's Les Paul by the way.
Thanks to my engineer Felipe for making the suggestion!
