Failed Pedal Lines and Companies

Guyatone.

Especially their micro series, but even their 70s stuff. I have honestly never played a bad Guyatone pedal and often they flat out shred.

The mini OD-2 is my fave overdrive, or at least my favorite screamer. The mids are perfect, it sounds good, and it only has two knobs. Plus it was cheap.

I also had an 80s NADY distortion that looked like a re-labelled Guyatone. It had a kinda SD-9 type sound with a crunch knob. It also sounded awesome.

You guys really like to keep the drama rolling. Dwarfcraft is doing fine (great, even). We knew what we were getting into and out of. Our decisions were calculated and the correct ones for us.

We can all drop it now. I promise, we are just fine.

Who are you trying to convince? Us or yourself?

Do you need a hug? WTF, man.

Nora needs more than a hug. He needs some fuzz. I mean, have you listened to any of his videos lately?

It's the same exact joke my girlfriend says to me anytime I tell her I'm a nice guy. If you have no sense of humor, that's on you.

Thanks for listening

MOAR FUZZ

[Ugly Nora]

Fuzz seems like an effect people use to mask their sloppy playing. I like to accentuate my sloppy playing; it is actually a core component of what I do, which is why I am migrating to a cleaner sound overall.

Exactly

Sitori Sonics is gone too.
Quite frankly I don't understand why, they had the dudes from Sonic Youth buying their pedals and Annie Clark gave me a major GAS for the tapeworm delay which I am still searching for.

Goodnight sweet prince.

Most if not all their pedals were GGG kits.

I love this thread. Who was "oz." I'm late to the party with that one

Didn't he rip a bunch of folks off? Or am I thinking of another Oz?

Yeah that was the guy behind the Submarine (his companies had a couple of names).

[D.o.S.]

Skychord is back under the old name, I believe, which I can't recall right now. King something?

WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GET THIS INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thought analogue haven just had ''older" stuff as usual....and a bunch of cloudbusters didnt make it?! dang I got the second to last one before they went poof on a.h. ...king skychord punishment fanboy here....remember asking Stephen a yr ago if the projects dead, and he mysteriously said "dead or alive" and sent me a cheesy techno song named dead or alive lol

My logic, I think, was that King Capitol Punishment stuff remained in stock/returned to stock at dealers after Skychord vanished (this is still the case, fyi). Love the company, really enjoyed my Desi Parva when I had it.

Is Fromel still going? I bought a Shape EQ years ago and used it live for the first time ever last night. Good pedal.
Been surprised Fromel hasn't blown up like many other of the builders from the same "era". Or am I just missing out on everything?

Yes they are. He just doesn't do finishes like he used to. I talked to John on the phone last year sometime and he seemed busier than ever.

That's good to hear. I remember him being super nice to deal with, so cool that its still going.

I still want one of his Dimension C Seraph guys. Wonder if he'd still make one... they're not listed on his site. Might have to email...

I remember reading something like this.
I'm curious what the tapeworm is, though.

I took a Brownies & Cream in trade for something long ago and it was a BSIAB2 on a GGG board but built absolutely terribly. I actually cant imagine building pedals the way this one was built because it would take twice as long as building the same pedal with neat lead dress. Then I looked at the rest of the line and it was obvious that all the circuits were basic products that had been around in the DIY community for years.
