noun: martyr; plural noun: martyrs
a person who is killed because of their religious or other beliefs.
a person who displays or exaggerates their discomfort or distress in order to obtain sympathy or admiration.
no, I get what playing the martyr means
I just don't really see Joel Korte doing that?
especially not "after selling 1000 pedals in an hour"
yeah, I was a bit surprised how surprised he was that they sold out so quickly,
buton the on the other hand, I guess I overestimated chase bliss size
if some of his pedals barely sold that amount over their lifetime
isn't his decision to fuck limited editions and abstain from social media more of a reaction
to a bunch of flippers/pedal collecters playing the martyr about their investment devaluating?
"if it is not limited, I don't want this pedal"
well, too bad, maybe only buy pedals you might wanna play?
It's not like it was priced higher than regular CB?
A regular Fuzz Factory is not that much cheaper?
And even if maybe there wasn't enough demos of the BlissFactory before purchase time,
both the fuzz factory and the CB-way of ramping & presets have been around long enough
to give you a pretty good idea of what you might get?
Pretty good value in comparison to both companies other offerings, even without the added filter...no?
And if scarcity is so important... even if they make 2k or 3k more...
do you know how many millions of pedal owners must be on this planet?
you'll still be one of the chosen few
ALso, I don't remember EQD catching flak when they made more Life pedals. twice IIRC.
So IMHO, yeah, things went a bit unfortunate,
but the solution is quite fair?
The original color remains limited & if you wanna give back your pedal
because... oh no, more people might own the same pedal in a different colour, your stock speculation did not come to full fruition,
you get all your investment back.
TL;DR
yes I'm surprised how surprised they were by selling out quick
I'm just as surprised if not a bit shocked by some of the reactions to a possibility of more BlissFactories
so I can understand the decision to stay away from social media (always a good idea anyway
)
after all this wreckage, I guess the solution in place is the fairest to all involved?
or I'm just a fool who gets this completely wrong
always a possibility
always
for everybody
