You're not supposed to advertise on the forum, unless you get passed by Tom Dalton (and even then, you must do it in the shark tank).

True, I think it may have to do with how coy it is, and this is a bit more apparent than the people in DIY.

I don't know the reason why I was banned from UG for 4897 days (!) after I made a post of my
new home made pedals. Maybe you can tell me, apparently you know ;)

As for the advertising, I have no idea who made that up, I have built these
pedals to myself only. I put them on a forum because I'm interested in other
guitarists opinions and it's fun and useful to discuss the gear, especially home
made :)

Hm I think I misunderstood. I read the title and thought that was the name of your company and you were trying to get it out there. Very sorry about that.

err, i can tell you. you were banned from UG because you posted the same thread multiple times all over the forums, and, if that was enough, started spamming up other threads with your youtube link. and then when you were banned for spamming, you made about three or four more multiple accounts and continued doing the same thing. all for youtube views? seriously???

Wrong. I posted one thread with my first acc and commented on maybe 7 other effect pedal threads, to catch their attention,
because I thought it was interesting, that's not spam, that's what forums are for-to discuss guitar stuff, aren't they? Then my
account got banned for more than 4000 days. I created another one and posted that thread again, and the acc got banned again.
End of story.
Now, in other forums I've been to and posted about my effects, I got a positive response with people asking me how I did that
and that, where I got the schematics, showing their own pedals, discussing the sound, enclosures, etc.
I'd say it's rather weird that people in ultimate guitar react that way, I guess some guys see spam everywhere :)
