It is the great insult!

[Freight Train]

They do this, and it's not a BASS pedal??!!! Really? Guitar is more Mothra energy, if you want to go with a Kaiju theme, but Godzilla implies thunder and roar, not screech and whine. This is quite upsetting to me.

First Hello Kitty and now this? Is Fender making a push in the Japanese market?

 

[tubedude]

No, the great insult is "Bass players are just frustrated guitarists".

I'm a huge GZ fan and am seriously thinking of getting this, to put next to my hello kitty fuzz. It'd be in a blend loop with my wah though so the lows stick around.

Will the chorus pedal be named after the twin Shobijin?

That is a sad little LED. They really could’ve gone for a bigger display of Atomic Breath.

LED placement is
Tiny LED is meh
Graphics are awesome, but knob placement over the art is terrible.
For a pedal that is only unique because of its graphics, I see it as a fail.

I’m surprised they didn’t do one side jack and one top jack. This was definitely approved on a Friday afternoon after a three martini lunch.

A lot of guitarists secretly wanna be cool like us. Why else would they be adding 7th and 8th strings, or playing baritone tuned guitars? This is not an insult, it's jealousy on their part. We should be stable, well mannered folks, and let them have this, or they'll be even harder to live with, which, I'm sure well all agree, we don't want.

 

[Pocket Dave]

Made for the drop-D metalcore crowd?

 

[Spectrum]

I'm holding out for the Ultraman pedal.

 

[A Bass And Its Boy]

Ultraman’s alright but we really need a Kikaida pedal. Although canonically that miiiiiight be for acoustic guitar.

 

[KevInDaBassment]

I wonder if it's just a Tube Screamer clone under there....you know, since it's green?

The placement can work, it’s the knob-selection I find so off-putting. Large flange, barely visible in good light let alone dim dens of mischief.

Missed opportunity for GITD or day-glo “fine-tune fluted type” knobs.

Come on, now....everyone knows Godzilla is a bassist.

I'm sure he has a *ahem* Monster Tone.

At first I thought it was a lawsuit-era Ibanez Rickenfaker, but now I'm pretty sure it's a GRECO.

Makes sense that Gojira would play a Greco.

The 'Zilla is a Fender ape, not a Ric ape! (Wink, wink.)

 

[brianrost]

Why bother, this is the only Japanese themed pedal you will ever need.
