Wilson never went anywhere as far as I know. Dude was sick for a minute, but I see there shit on Instagram all the time. Homie posts mostly his running now, lol, but still active as hell.

They just came out with a new pedal like a month ago too.

I thought you were talking about Wattson at first.

Wattson's issues (as an outsider who is speculating) is that they were not able to create a hype train like at all. They came off as desperate to sell, which turned most folks off regardless of if they had cool shit or not. The prices were a bit high at first, which also did not help.

They were really in the same realm as Jext Telez, which honestly I'm surprised they've survived and I mean no offense by that. I just see the market and see what folks want and the demand for remade old shit is not very high unless it's unique. No one really seems to care much about old fuzz circuits because there are so many other innovative designs out there now. Sure there's a highly niche market of folks who do, but they are few and far between.

The kid half of Wattson was also an obnoxious troll on HC for years and that didn't help.

Wattson's prices at the end were even higher. I think with Wattson and Jext Telez you're paying a lot for those custom enclosures, which I like, but not if it adds $100 or more to the price.

All I see from Wilson are dirt pedals and was mods.

Wilson has about a zillion wahs and each one of them has a bunch of knobs.

Weird. Mentioned the Mold Spore the other day. Mycelium looks to be copied from the old Snarling Dogs piece.

Also still waiting for the Psycho Press...
