And the most annoying term used in Boutique land is.......

[Snufkino]

Dear pedal builders:

I have taken the liberty of compiling this handy list of synonyms for "batch:"
amount Too generic. What is this, Boss?
array Inaccurate and sounds 'pointy'
assortment Also innacurate
bunch Too casual
bundle Too cutesy poo. What is this, Etsy?
cluster Too hemorrhoidy
collection Hollow
lot Shit
parcel Too vegan friendly
quantity Bland and distancing
shipment Are they all going to the same person? Thought not
volume Sounds like an alternative fact
accumulation Alternate facts on steroids
aggregationAlternate facts huffing paint
assemblage Too Chris Evansy
clump Mouldy
clutch Hundreds of sweaty baby insects
crowd What is this, Mad Men?
group Nope
pack Actually this is ok
set Panini stickers from the late 80's

You may reward me all with a free pedal from your next clump.

I'm building a batch of organic Boss clones. Fight me.

Would buy an LS-2 clone from you. How do I get into the waiting list?

Honestly the worst word that can be associated with pedals and the pedal business to me is "transparent"

I guess it's kinda useful when we're talking eq's, compressors, preamps and such, where in some situations you just want to use them as utility units without coloring the sound. But transparent distortions? Fuck outta heeere.

and what's the deal with pedal builders always using words like 'is' and 'a'. Don't even get me started on the term pedal. What are we talking about, bikes?

Transparent oscillating fuzz. Transparent delay. Transparent 12 seconds reverb. WHY WOULD YOU WANT ANY OF THAT TO BE TRANSPARENT?

Well, that guy bossman sure knows how to start an active discussion.

Because I still want to be able to hear the sound of my NOS KT66 tubes in my drone doom band.

LOL. Don't worry, I'll slow down. Just been lurking here for years so I figure I'd come in with a bang to shake things up a bit. Things were gettin super boring with all the boutique circlejerking.

Insects don't sweat. You're probably an anti-vaxxer.
