What's the deal with this company? Good rep? Any of their pedals stand out? Went through their site didn't see any prices.

It's one of the proto-boutique companies.
She started building in the '90s before the internet taught everyone with a soldering gun how to put together fuzz.
The Peach Fuzz was ripped off by Danelectro for one of their pedals. Lots of people like the ripoff.

^ She also worked as an engineer at EHX from 1999 to 2000 and came up with the NYC Big Muff (the v9): http://www.kitrae.net/music/big_muff_history3.html
You'll hear these referred to as "Frantone" Muffs.

Awesome!

But bearfoot fx has rightly or wrongly always struck me as being kind of a bunch of hacks.
