The only pedals I can think of that I've paid for without really having heard them is Sonic Crayon pedals and Seppuku pedals. A classic case of curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back.

I wanted to buy a McSpunkle Gnomeratron VTF partly for the name and partly for the graphic, but I've never had the opportunity.
Why wouldn't I ?

no, and no. i used to buy pedals unheard, but haven't done for a long time now. as far as guitars go, it's features i look for, not looks. it's nice when both come together, though.

I've not bought a pedal because of the finish. But not the other way around.

fuck yeah. bought the reverse color white rat, etched rusty box, i picked up a second mini due to the color.
Well, I liked the pedals before, but the finish was tha straw that broke the camel's back.

But you knew what the rat did before you bought it, and were aware of its noises.
The original thread has been edited, but I still stand by "No"

Look I’m not gonna lie, that Gnomeratron is so cool looking I would potentially buy one because it looks cool.
Then I could take a pic of it with my actual lawn gnome and get 100000000000 likes on Instagram.

I would never buy a gnome doing something offensive. My gnome is very wholesome.
