The always creative team over at Chicago Music Exchange has announced a new pedal that I think will revolutionize the wannabe guitar player market.  Just by pushing one button, the SaündFraud "skill killer" pedal gives your music the style, tone and characteristics of a professional musician who was willing to put in the thousands of hours of practice time even if you can't be bothered.  Frankly, I think if you combine this with the BeatBuddy, you've got a band ready to rock.

Here's a video that shows the SaündFraud pedal in action:

Also be sure to check out their "100 Riffs" video which takes you from Chet Atkins' "Mr Sandman" all the way through "I Got Mine" by The Black Keys.

If you're looking for vintage gear Chicago Music Exchange has got you covered.  They've also got real pedals on sale today.  The Chicago Music Exchange has a sister company called Reverb, which is a marketplace for used music gear.
