No, it'd pretty much be worthless and have to be given away for free, and only the most sad and wretched guitarists would seek ultimately seek it out in the dollar bins at thrift stores, sitting with all the other crap that was left over from the 90's but no one could be bothered to upgrade to better circuitry... rather just maintain what few working parts it had left in some sad attempt to maintain an internet legacy that was far past it's prime...

Wait.. lol.. sorry... lost my guitar pedal metaphor gazing into the slop heap of a website and forum this place is.

i'd venture to guess the pedals would sound like ass if recorded through a proper setup. but being a pretty girl who builds fuzz pedals probably generates a solid business model anyway so who cares about actual product quality.

I believe we already have a pedal for that...and it's called synthtalk. Fucking shitty, random useless thing that is only there because it can be.

Right, but when you have a demo of a bass distortion pedal, and you can hear the acoustic bass clanking away louder than the amplifier... there's something wrong there. Can't tell in the slightest what kind of character the pedal itself has.

The pro demos, where they appear, sound good.

well I didn't see that vid, so you have a point there. But I was looking at the soda mesier, and nels cline has a clip playing it and the pedal sounds incredible.

devi, hire nels to play all of your pedals.
