HAIL SATAN!

Any further religious conversation will result in moderator justice. I would just remove it now as I don't feel religious overtones add to the effects conversation, but I'll leave it for the same reason I'd leave a worship board thread.

I'm not big into pedals, but if I were the name would be a deal-killer for me, no matter how it sounded.

I don't mess around with stuff like that...

Added: Mod, I don't mean to violate your rule, in the post above. To clarify, I mean that _as marketing_ the name is a turn-off for me.

Yeah, it's nothing really groundbreaking or all that risque when you think about it. Nothing you wouldn't find from an indie death/black metal band trying to be controversial...it's a played-out thing that just makes people roll their eyes now. While they make good pedals, I kind of get the same feeling with the Way Huge pedals. Phallic euphemisms? Come on man, that's 7th grade stuff lol. Regardless, nobody is putting a gun to someone's head and making them buy it.

Exactly. When the pedals sound good people take their quirky euphemisms with it and consider it a joke but when the pedal sounds bad they decide to let these euphemisms then become offensive to them. Hypocritical? I do believe so. Much my experience with many religions.

Ah i'm just kidding! Who cares. Seriously let's close this thing up! The pedals suck we get it. Done and done. Next thread. Next!

Next pedal topic: Who's offended by the EHX Holy Grail reverb?? ;)


To something related though, I hear the term "(Insert pedal here) clone" tossed around a lot when it comes to boutique stuff. Perhaps I sound ignorant, by has any pedal builders decided to not make a Big Muff, Fuzzface, or B:assmaster clone? Surely these aren't the only unique sounds available and the whole spectrum is tapped out. Or is this sort like Jazz and P bass clones, it's a classic sound and nobody wants anything too different, they just want a few mods done to it. I'd also like to cite that it's the same story with ketchup. However, I would die on the hill of Whataburger's spicy ketchup is the bomb diggity.

I don't object on religious grounds, but on the vendor's level of maturity (low, in my opinion). It's a well known fact that children appreciate toilet humor, and I see this as an attempt at appealing to the toilet-like humor of "adults" who never fully matured. A last resort of someone who's options in the marketing arena are severely limited.

For the love of god and satan close this thread. I keep checking back if someone has anything of value to add about the pedals themselves either tone wise or something of the like. In case there is actually any good demos I may have missed. Guess not.

Its a decent fuzz pedal. I couldn't find anything using a bass. Big stoner tone.

This one seems OK too; sounds very "orange" to me.

Heard the RAT clone on their Soundcloud link. Not bad, not great. For the price, it seems about what I'd expect. I'm happy with my Blower Box, though, so no plans. Sounds better than Rat Tail/King demos! Those Fuzzrocious demos are just SO BAD...

Good thing Fuzzrocious has great testimonials. These guys don't have a good start if this thread is any indication lol.

Hi bassmusic17,

I guess some of us have a hard time ignoring the elephant in the room.
