Reverb is a marketplace where independent sellers list new and used guitars, pedals, amps, keyboards, synths, drums and recording or DJ gear.
Each seller writes its own return policy, so a listing's terms can matter as much as any coupon when you weigh a used amp against a new one.
Reverb describes itself as the largest marketplace devoted to music gear, and one account works for selling as well as buying: sellers get tools that fill in product details, suggest a price and promote the listing. Beyond individual listings, the site runs the Reverb Outlet for B-Stock items, Artist Shops, a Price Guide, buying guides and a news section.
Every purchase is covered by Reverb Buyer Protection, and Reverb Support takes over if a seller has not replied within 24 hours. Through Reverb Gives, purchases help fund instruments for youth music programs. A Reverb app alerts buyers when gear they have saved drops in price.

Gift cards
Reverb gift cards are linked from the site footer, a fit for a musician whose wish list you can't guess.
No Reverb codes were listed when the store was checked, and the pages read didn't show where a code would go at checkout.
If you hold one, look for it before you confirm payment, and compare it with the seller's own asking price firSt. Shipping charges and delivery times weren't printed on the pages that could be read, so check the delivery line on the order total before paying.
Buyer Protection covers the purchase whatever price you paid, but modifying the gear voids it, so play and inspect it before you swap pickups or open it up.
