Re: UGLIEST GEAR
for some reason the white knobs and pickup covers are what is really pissing me off about that guitar

Re: UGLIEST GEAR
The only things about that guitar I don't like are the parts that are bouncing light off my eyeballs.
The fretboard looks so dry.

I know it's weird, but the first thing I saw was that terrible white plastic
why would you go that nuts with a guitar and then use stock plastics?

Re: UGLIEST GEAR
True.
The only thing I like on that guitar is the purple pickguard.

Re: UGLIEST GEAR
Do you like this pedal from your collection? Because it doesn't look that dissimilar to me, when compared to thousands of custom ZVex pedals.Mudfuzz wrote:I honestly can't say is is bad for them as I hate the look of every single thing they have ever madeechorec wrote:For a company that brought a lot of artistry and panache to the table, in shaping the boutique movement, this is not a good look.

Re: UGLIEST GEAR
Yes, and no.. No I am not a huge fan of pedals painted brown [mainly because for some odd reason bass pedals have been historically brown and I find it dumb] and if I had been given a choice I would have rather had the original color scheme of the pedal. And no I don't like the look of every pedal I own and yes Chank hella did buy it cuz SOMEONE FINALLY made a pedal with the name I chose here not just as a user name but as a disruption for what I thought/think more builders should be trying to build..echorec wrote:Do you like this pedal from your collection?

How ever...
Looking at the TYM vs Zvex:
The Mud Fuzz has a very high quality sink screened finish that is reminiscent of a 70s Hammer Film poster, the background is that of a mud covered fuzzy substance be it a representation of werewolf fur or a fuzzy blob made from genetically altered hamsters, and a loud red/orange scary horror font.
The Zvex looks like a attempt by a 12 year old to do up a 60s style poster for a school project, but, it still doesn't look like someone had their 4 year old child draw all over it for them to hang on the fridge... Sure back when they started it was a sorta cool thing that set them apart from Boss and other mass produced pedals, it looked like someone made it in their basement and then had a 4 year old paint it, that was fresh and different in a 90s kinda way

*thumbs chin* Hmm...I don't think I've ever noticed a disproportionate browning of the bass pedal industry. I'm going to have to look further into this.Mudfuzz wrote:No I am not a huge fan of pedals painted brown [mainly because for some odd reason bass pedals have been historically brown and I find it dumb]

Reverb decided to show this to me and the only reason I can figure is that they know I contribute to this thread.

This is a very impressive collection of Roto Toms. That's 21 Roto Toms in all. That is only $33.00 a Roto Tom.

I saw this the other day and managed to block it out for a short time. Thanks for bringing back the discomfort.lost in music wrote:

I'm not a fan of John Matos' work, but this guitar is likely the worst thing he's ever done. It looks like a prop from a lost Miami Vice episode.
