Bass Player Magazine.....Derprocious Pedals?!?!?

1) Derp is an expression associated with stupidity, much like the earlier forms of interjections like “duh” and “dur.” In image macros, the subject is typically portrayed with eyes that are pointed to each side and a caption that reads “DERP.” The words “herp” and “derp” are often used in rage comics to replace nondescript names or parts of conversation. See also: Are You a Wizard.

2) BP Mag wrote up an article about a Catalinbread Heliotrope pedal, but the title of the article says it's made by Fuzzrocious. They even put Fuzzrocious's website at the bottom. Yet the picture is clearly the Catalinbread pedal.

2) They call it 'Heliotropic' instead of Helitrope.

3) See Numbers 1 & 2. The 'Derprocious' is my own creation, combing the words 'Derp' and 'Fuzzrocious'.

4) mjac28 probably nailed it with the 'too old' comment :)
 
Gotta clear some things up...

The writeup is about our (Fuzzrocious) HELIOTROPIC pedal, but the Catalinbread Heliotrope, which is a bitcrusher (not a sample/hold) is pictured. The description of the pedal is correct.

Mr. Fox and his team at BPM are taking care of correcting this both online and in the December issue.

Will this be on the test?
