Ok guys, I really do not want things to get political...regardless of where you stand...but this is too good not to post regarding this pedal:
"It isolates the rich tone and redistributes it among the poorer ones...thereby making a completely weakened, anemic overall tone and, in actuality, further splitting your signal and elevating the self-proclaimed elite frequencies to a status of complete control and domination over the harder working, lower-class frequencies....It will probably only be in production for 4 years, but could possibly talk it's way into production for an additional 4. After that, it will go on to "write" many books and give many speeches with the aid of teleprompters."

Ouch.
While I don't agree with some of the stuff "alluded to" in this thread, I can't say I'm surprised that people have reacted like that. Politics is something that people feel strongly about and refuse to consider changing, no matter if their patronage is based on facts, platforms, or just public opinion. It's pretty risque to name a pedal after a controversial political figure, especially considering the hectic state of political separation throughout the country. We're all bad-off right now, and people always need someone to blame, whether it's warranted or not. And people being people will always have something to say about politics, often taking extremist positions sometimes through ignorance. I'm not talking about politics; I'm talking about talking about politics. And I definitely did not intend to show any party-affiliation in my comment, which was just meant to be a little silly.
I do hate when someone brings politics into something non-political though. People listen to music for entertainment, not to be read the news.
Give it a rest, people.So let's leave this as is before we take it too far. Because no matter who comments on this, it will ruffles someone's feathers... and probably spark confrontation.
