Dude, I was thinking about this the other day. Now that is an actual complicated dirt circuit that does unique shit, not some TS-clone that magically costs $1000 for inexplicable reasons.

I think we've mentioned this on here before, but this is the way of hobbies that boomers have a stake in. Fishing, bikes, beer, guitar pedals, all can be expensive as fuck if you create some magic x-factor.

I'm incidentally listening to PJ Harvey's "Let England Shake" right now, and as I'm typing this the chant of "Let it burn, burn, burn" soundtracked my mini-rant. I think that's a decent solution.

Boomers gotta boom, I guess. But! I racked my brain trying to think of a popular $200 peddle that just makes noise, a la th' Swash, or even a dimed-out Harmonic Percolator, so that's always outside of the protective bubble...unless Matthew McConaughey starts spamming Verdant Weapons instruments on TikTok (life mooves priddy fast...) :(

P&W root beer boards gotta shimmer, I guess, but only as long as they keep their grubby mitts offa my Monster NRG knobs (don't tell mom the babysitter's.....risen from thee grave!)

i had one up on my computer screen for a hot minute, but asked myself "self, when are you ever going to be able to use this for anything besides annoying your cat?" and had to agree that i had a point. and i really don't want to get into the whole getting-equipment-to-copy-someone thing any more. i'm trying to kill the influences i already have.

Somebody was early on the non-limited version:

$300 seems more within my acceptable pain tolerance, and looks promising on the SNES holocaust.

Is the Hammertone Fuzz based on Blender DNA? Could be enough. But I’ll still be getting this because reasons.

I got my non-limited edition in the mail today. It’s pretty dece. It reminds me of a dwarfcraft pedal kinda. Whatever happened to them? I sold some of mine last year for stupid money. I always wondered how aen would scale his business. Like maybe he’d finally get an actual drill press. Srs though seems weird that they disappeared.

I think they got burnt out and found other gigs, respectively.

Feels like selling Dwarfcraft and replacing it with a Fender ltd signature pedal is pretty TGP of you, tho.
good deals are here.
flesh couch is here.
