The seller got really defensive when I asked for photos. They said that I would have to buy and pay for it first before they would show me a photo.
Edit: it looks straight but no idea why they would photoshop out the serial number.

That's not the same pedal from the pictures before. The "Tone Bender" text was thicker, more bubbly in the old pics. I don't think they're the same. But I didn't screenshot the old pics so I can't provide any visual evidence.
It looked like this from the 2009 thread -

The photos that they've added are of a different pedal to the one that was originally shown in this advert. Maybe they just got their pictures mixed up or something.

There was a Sola branded MKII Pro with JMI/BPC/shitty guts for sale at eBay not too long ago. Or Reverb, can't remember for sure. But it definitely had Sola style graphics with shady internals.
