Pedal Art Snobbery

Oddly cute terrorist devices I guess. Honestly, I just kinda wanted an excuse to post that Costanza pic.

I kinda caught on, but at that point I was too far into it to back out.

GG Allin is one ugly fucking guy but i listen to his crap anyway. I would not buy a T-rex pedal since they look really boring, like Soviet boring, but they might sound good.

... and the worst/best hair ever derail

[DarkAxel]

despite the design, that delay sounds goddamn marvelous

M.A. Batio is a walking cliche of 80s guitarists.

In most cases pedal art wouldn't stop me from buying a great pedal. However, I find great visual presentation of a pedal to be an indicator of creativity in the builder. This could be either great art or a good simple aesthetic.

I will say that a pedal could be so great it would make my whole board redundant and I wouldn't buy it if it had Amy Winehouse' face on it. Unless, of course, the footswitch was centered on her face and blood shot out every time you stomped on it.

That....hair/pedal ..... oh.... that is just....

Fucking hideous.

exactly. Excane, is it as awesome as it looks? I know it's no timeline, but it looks like one of the more interesting delays to come out in a while. I trust your opinion sir

as for Batio, a local guitar shop a friend of mine owns was like "DUDE BATIO IS DOING A CLINIC HERE YOU SHOULD COME". i was bored and thought fuck it why not. By clinic, he meant Batio is gonna sit there and shred and talk about how awesome he thinks he is. I didn't learn a single fucking thing. also, the dude has the nerdiest voice i think Ive ever heard from someone wearing a leather jacket.

I love it.
It's analog voiced, and the phaser is fixed at a depth that's just right (to me at least)
You can only adjust the speed, but it doesn't overtake your signal. (you can shut it off with the toggle)

Roy at Greenhouse is one of the coolest peeps I've met, and I love his circuit designs. I'd really listen to the awesome demos that JetCity and a few others have as well.

I have bass demos of it in my sig, and I'm working on guitar demos to come soon. If someone needs a simple delay but has its own character, I highly recommend it

I've always thought GH was pretty interesting looking company. I usually love the art too. I just can't stand Amy Winehouse.

Yeah, I can totally understand that. I'm not a fan either, but I actually really like the artwork.

He has a thing for using members of the "27 club" on all his pedals. (Winehouse being the latest member)

His NoBrainer distortion has cobain blowing his brains out with a shotgun.

It's more more of an homage to them, not exploitation.
Yes, I can see the morbid factor for some people but DAMN..... this is music. This is art. Accept it.

so this means I'll never have Bill Clinton's face on a pedal
