Bumping this because I have a pedal problem. No, this isn't that kind of confession. I am not ready to concede that my pedal buying has gotten out of control.
No, rather, this is a very specific issue. I have a long time friend from college who's husband passed away a couple years ago. He was pretty involved in the Denton music scene and had a fair bit of gear. She finally decided to part with some of it, and figuring I could both expand my collection and do a solid to an old friend, I bought a couple of the decedent's old pedals. Feeling pretty good about myself for a very modest act of charity combined with GAS, I was very pleased to find a package on my porch containing a moderately used MXR Phase 90 and a Bigshot ABY pedal. Here's the problem: they fucking reek of patchouli. I mean, it smells like Eeyore's Birthday party on steroids has inhabited these pedals.
Anyone got any ideas how to get rid of this smell?
