PEDAL DOWN, SWEETWATER RESCUE I had a Headrush pedal that malfunctioned. I contacted Sweetwater after contacting Headrush. I still have not gotten a single reply from Headrush (been almost 3 months now). Joshua Bortner of Sweetwater's support team took care of me and got me up and running in my studio again within days. You can't get better service than at Sweetwater....... Bruce Brewer

I've been a customer for decades. Never again. I recently purchased an Empirical Labs EL-9 from Sweetwater. After very clearly specifying where I wanted this not-exactly-cheap unit shipped -- and despite having a shipping address on file I've been using for about 5 years -- somehow, SWS still sent this to the wrong place. I didn't find this out until the tracking info revealed the destination city. In a frantic effort to stop this from being delivered, I contacted my sales engineer -- no response. Then I reached out to SWS through the website's contact form. Here are the highlights from the response I finally got: "Sorry about the incorrect address. Probably the best way that you’d be able to get the package rerouted would be to contact FedEx about the order yourself," And if the delivery "occurs"... "The best course of action at [this] point would be to go to the address to recover the package if that’s possible." I finally CC'd this thread to the Director of Customer Experience, at which point SWS finally took the initiative to fix this and re-ship it. Never heard a peep after this point. I'm done here -- Sweetwater has lost a customer. P.S., I attempted to leave this on their own site, but they seem to filter negative reviews from product profiles. Explains a few things... P.P.S., I guess they now ignore negative reviews elsewhere as well.

_THE_ place to purchase music gear Thanks to a dedicated sales team who knows me now and some of the best prices, I have no reason to shop anywhere besides Sweetwater. They help me make my choice and then back what they sell.

SweetWater Always goes the extra mile… SweetWater Always goes the extra mile to make sure you get what you want and need real quick so as you can use it. I am 65 yrs old and will not go anywhere else but SweetWater for advice and gear. Staff will go go overboard for you! Just call and anyone who answers is the right one to talk to!

Superior service to competitors I recently ordered something small from my sales person but received the same service and follow up I got on larger purchases. I buy with confidence from SW
