This is a killer overdrive pedal that sells for $130, so I suggest you get over to Effects Bay and register for this bad boy! Here’s some more info on the pedal from the Cheese Blocks website:

The original sCream Cheese had people selling their old Screamers and making the switch. We’d like to welcome the new, improved, sCream Cheese 2.0 to the lineup! The upgrades include:

• TWO stacked JRC4558D chips for greater clarity
• Improved layout with jacks and switches on the back
• Mini fluted knobs
• GREAT enclosures from our buddy Mike at pedalenclosures.com. These things are built like a tank! Very heavy duty.

This pedal uses only the highest quality components, and is 100% true bypass. No tone sucking here! Features our signature bright green indicator LED. Hand wired here in our shop. Powered by either a 9V battery or 9V (-) tip adapter (not included.)

In the world of the Internet, a lot changes in two years. A few other sites have popped up that only post gear giveaways. Manufacturers are launching more and more contests (so many that I could only write about a fraction). And social networking sites have become more and more a part of our everyday lives.

So, I’ve decided to throw a little wrinkle in the way I post giveaways. From now on, I’m going to post one giveaway per day, everyday, on Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. If you want to follow this feed on Twitter or become a fan of this page on Facebook, you’ll see these giveaways each day, without doing any extra work. On MySpace, the giveaways will be my status update each day. Then just click on the links and enter.

If you’re one of the few people who are not on Facebook, Twitter, or MySpace there are still ways you can stay up-to-date. Each Saturday I’ll post a summary of the week’s giveaways here on GearPipe.com. This will include links to all seven contests. Also, I’ve added a Facebook widget to the right sidebar of the site, which contains all of the links.

Here’s how you can connect to this new feature:

• Become a fan of the Musical Instruments Giveaways Facebook page. You can find it here.
• Follow the @GearGiveaway365 feed on Twitter. If you’re already following my @GearPipe feed, I’ll be retweeting the giveaways each day, so you’re good.
• I wasn’t sure if anyone is still on MySpace, but since the MySpace Music pages are still good for bands, I figured I’d post there, too. Just add GearPipe as a friend.
• Finally, if you just want to check out the weekly update on this site, you can either visit every Saturday, or subscribe to the Contests & Giveaways feed via RSS or by email.

To get you pumped about this, I actually started posting these a week ago. So, as promised, here is your weekly summary of links:

• Enter The Great KISS Guitar Giveaway! Win a Paul Stanley signature Washburn guitar autographed by all members of KISS. Enter Here
