Hi learned HD users,
I am in need of a backup for my HD500 which I use in a duo setup, gigging a couple of nights a week. Of all possibilities (looking at options up to and including the HD500), I figure I may as well just buy another 500, as I use patches with all manner of alt tunings on my variax, (preset in the HD500) and any other pedal would lead to a complete nightmare if the 500 let me down even if for just one night.
So, second hand in Australia, they're around $500AUD. New via ebay I can get one for just over that, with free delivery.
But I've read that warranty is only valid in the country of purchase. From the Line 6 support pages:
( http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-4838 )
Q: Do I get a warranty if I bought a unit from Ebay?
A: If you purchase a unit on Ebay, you do so at your own risk. Line 6 honors warranties from authorized retailers only.
How do I find whether an ebay seller is an authorised retailer, or are we to assume that everyone selling Line 6 gear on ebay is dodgy???
Anyone?
