I'm not sure if my review was registered earlier. If this is a duplicate review please delete this.....Gidday girls and blokes , I was made aware of AudioBuy a while back when searching online for new studio gear and guitars. AudioBuy came up first in google for most things so I gave them a gander. It was my understanding , after being told from AudioBuy and other stores , that they ship all orders from the USA and as a result can offer good pricing , good selection but no warranty unless the units are shipped back. I purchased a cheap Fender pedal and a Boss pedal to begin with and things went smoothly , very fast FEDEX shipping only took 4 days which is just only slightly worse speed wise than buying locally. In my opinion AudioBuy are a good store , keep local AU stores honest and can source stuff not found locally. When I need an expensive guitar ordered I may try AudioBuy but my purchasing agent insists on using Mannys for the majority of purchase orders. If you're considering buying from Audiobuy then rest assured they process with Paypal which is..assuring..however don't expect to visit their location as they're an online only type of deal. Some equipment comes out of the manufacture house identical each time and is reliable enough to not require assistance should something happy , other equipments maybe prone to breaking - maybe best to buy in store instead of AudioBuy for these types of equipments. The Paypal payment procedure is very quick because I have a Paypal account - one or 2 clicks and it's done with the buyer protection associated with it. I only bought 2 pedals from AudioBuy , if you're planning on making a larger purchase then contact Audiobuy prior for a refund because they gave me one - albeit it was only 4% off their total listed price. FEDEX shipping costs are included in all of their prices. Overall rating 4/5.

First to start I am sorry if my english is not best , my third language english and productreview does not let Mandarin or other languages. The review i am making is for the red pedal the boss rc3 guitar pedal i receive from online shop www.audiobuy.hk - I like very much the price and the high quality of the pedal. I need a looper pedal and stores down the street in Hong Kong do not have very good prices and missing many music items that i need. Audiobuy shop has alot of items and i have ordered one before and i will be using more again because the prices are low. My review is a good review because the online order was given to me quickly and i got email after receive if i was satisifed customer. I am very satisfied customer of audiobuy shop and i hope to use again in short time.

Ive visited the Audiobuy page hundreds of times and ordered 3 items over the last few years , most recently in January of this year i had shipped the AKAI AMX which was not in stock in any other stores i could find at the time. I also used to work at a music shop where i'd always get price match requests. It has been years since i've worked for the music industry so i no longer get internal discounts etc. Being a musician , a fairly well paid musician unlike most , I still need to shop around when buying higher ticket items and ive managed to get a few good deals from Audiobuy when other stores could not price match or even come close to their pricing. The AMX product got to me quite some time ago and im leaving a review only now. The post fader ports on the amx are really good and replicable the knobs seen on the Numark which is really cool. The only negative i could say about this unit is that the shift button is too small and often missed when gigging or in dim light. The audiobuy shop and the akai product i ordered are both really good and this review is overall a very positive one.

I scooted around the shops in my area trying to find this pedal on one occasion because my phone at home stopped working and my mobile phone broke down at the same time! I wasted about $40 on petrol that day but ultimately grabbed this pedal online from the Audiobuy online store after i got home that evening and saved about as much as I wasted on petrol....should've just stayed home really. Audiobuy gave me not only the best price but really kind treatment offering me a 10% discount on anything i want in the future with Katie.
I'm now eyeing up a Schecter guitar on the Audiobuy Australia website which is already listed at a low price but with the 10% discount i'll be ecstatic to receive that shortly sometime soon. I use a Vox amp and never really find the tone i like but since using the pedal i ordered the tone i'm playing with now is quite good but my problem is i'm a perfectionist so there's probably no pedal or guitar combo i could use which would make me entirely happy. The boost option on this pedal cleans up nice and boosts the mid range quite considerably , it works well with the style of music I play and if I ever need to buy another pedal from audiobuy i can probably re-sell it for a good price without losing too much money.
I saved about $50 dollars buying this pedal from AudioBuy and after I checked out I got a sweet personalised email from Katie that any future orders would get me 10% off for being a loyal customer. It came shipped inside a Fedex envelope which was heavily padded with bubble wrap , probably a bit overkill on the bubble wrap TBH....addressed from a shop called Thomann , they must be the Ebay store who shipped the pedal to me through AudioBuy. I can't comment on the warranty service because this pedal has been working great ever since i opened the box. I might leave a review about the Schecter guitar i have on the way but until then this is Abe signing off.

I work for Dream Studios and overall this product is good if your recording clients are not requiring anything particularly special given that the price point for this product at AudioBuy has a list price in the lower $300 range. I purchased this controller from AudioBuy more as a backup device , the controller was delivered to our studios within a reasonable and pre-scheduled timeframe. One issue is that we needed to buy a $2 adaptor for our wall but everything else about the Audiobuy website and ordering process was straight forward and fully trackable. When the fedex van arrived our building's dog almost attacked the fedex driver , there must be something about their uniform which dogs find threatening. Luckily the package was not damaged by our dog in the process! I don't think AudioBuy are selling these anymore as they told us we were purchasing one of few remaining stock and they are being phased out by Alesis. I'm reviewing AudioBuy as 4/5 stars because of the power adaptor issue.

TRex pedal review my first order from AudioBuy
The TRex mudhoney was used by the other guitarist in my band , I started to develope a tragic case of envy and he , because they're quite expensive , wouldn't let me borrow it and I couldn't afford one until I saw the price on the audiobuy website. A few months later i'm still really liking the simple front controls , great sound and rock solid build since i've dropped it from reasonable heights too many times now. Sam the other guiarist in our band paid a few hundred dollars for his mudhoney from another seller , i paid alot less for the pedal so now he can be the jealous one! I have not shopped for anything from Audiobuy before so i can only review this pedal as my first experience. I paid for the pedal at the beginning of this year and have since been gigging with it and wasn't going to leave a review but ive recently been in contact with audiobuy for something else since and thought they deserve a good review before making another order. After a few weeks of using this pedal i thought i'd need warranty repair because it wouldn't turn on so i contacted audiobuy to get the pedal replaced. They told me a postal truck would come by my address within two days to pickup the pedal but later on i realised my power supply board was defective and when i changed the power supply the pedal lit up again which was a relief. I haven't needed a warranty replacement on this pedal yet but i think if there were any problems i'd be covered which is the main reason i'm buying from them again for a substantially larger ticket item. The trex mudhoney pedal gives me exactly the right tone i need and me and my guitarist can dial in identical tones which sounds great on stage , when my next order arrives from Audiobuy (Digitech freqout) i'll be placing another review.

In early March me and my bandmates , the Banyo music boys as we're commonly known needed an upgrade for our pedalboard coz we were beginning to sound awful after our main guitar pedal broke down in a rained out performance. Even between the three of us on our limited budget we needed to buy a bunch of guitar pedals at the best price and shopped around beforehand for a few weeks getting quotes here and there before we found AudioBuy website - their price quote was ALOT lower than any other Australian retailer so we ended up buying from the AudioBuy.com.au website , they also call themselves AudioShop. Us 3 got the pedals mid march about 1 week after buying them online and they all work really well. I'm personally stoked that i've found a local online retailer which can help us save cash for our guitar toys. I'm not sure if my mates will be buying from Audiobuy for themselves and their solo projects but I definately will be. My review is perfect thankyou for the great price audiobuys i'll be back soon.

Great warranty and post sale service from the Audiobuy shop
My first time using audiobuy was not totally smooth but they pulled through for me. I must say their warranty and after sales care is very good and im very confident in buying from them again for a more expensive item. My first order was a cheap EHX pedal which shipped quickly but when i received it the pedal wouldn't power on so i contacted AudioBuy. They offer a 1 year warranty and i was well within my time period for this , Audiobuy emailed me back and said they'd ship me another one and have the defective one i just received picked up by auspost (Australia post)...i got another pedal after 4 days which actually worked so overall the buying experience from audiobuy was a very good one and id tell others in my opinion to use this shop as they'll cover you if there are any problems. my next order will probably be a cheapish ESP or Fender guitar and i look forward to writing a review about this order when and if i make it. Thankyou!

my order from this shop has quite some history and i've been quite dismayed at the dishonest practices of Australian music retailers. It all started when i wanted to buy the EMG pickguard valued at about $600 in local stores but $150 cheaper at Audiobuy so i called my local shop for a price match. They responded by saying that i shouldn't buy from AudioBuy and i should leave a negative review about them even though i hadn't yet purchased anything which I thought was very dishonest. I got back to Audiobuy and told them what my local Australian music shop had said , I will not name names , Audiobuy responded that their price is the lowest and because my local shop could not price match then they were making things up to try and win the sale. I phoned back my local shop and said i was going ahead with the Audiobuy purchase unless they price matched and explained why their staff were trying to get me to leave negative reviews about a store i hadn't yet used. They did not do what i asked so i went ahead and bought from Audiobuy. I got the tracking number and good communication throughout the ordering process and will happily use them again in the future. As for my local shop and their dishonest commerce practices - good luck to them , they just lost a long standing valued customer. I contacted the ACCC about this anti-competitive slanderous activity by audiobuy's competitors but haven't heard a response yet.

I am very pleased with the company Audiobuy and particularly Katie who really helped me out.
