Oh I get you, Goroth, and I'm totally on board with that sentiment. I was more just referring to foomanfat's comment earlier about being frustrated by disparaging comments about something he likes. I just find that in situations like that, it's best to remember that you dictate what you like, not the consensus of a message board.

In general, I'd much rather hear about that salty licorice sauce most of the time

Hey, whoa there, dude! I've budgeted time to listen-test the right choice of magic unicorn-piss clipping diodes for my Santee's fuzz. Don't belittle my elf craft.

Starting to come around to the idea of being a blues lawyer.

Haha I'm not sure that's possible for me at this point—I'm under 40 and I've already started playing guitar.

Interesting how this thread ended in this debate. For the record, I think the reverb seems really cool, and I'm not really a verb-guy (more of an adjective-guy ).

Also, on conservatism versus innovation - popvulture is totally right in that you should use whatever sounds right to you. Well, it's a pretty obvious point. I don't see any people around here taking all the craziest effects they can find and randomly turning them all on at once just for the sake of being out-there or weird. These boxes we fetishize are a means to an end; just pick whichever you think sound awesome for what you want to achieve and go with it, whether it's a glitch clusterfuck or a transparent overdrive.

I don't really see how this came to be a discussion in the first place. I was simply stating what I thought was their intended audience/market group. My intention was never to say that ONLY weird is good, only that CGC is in this sort of weird position between typical TGP and typical ILF, much like Mr. Black and Walrus Audio.

Again: People like different stuff, and that's cool. I did not mean to offend. Blues lawyer is just a funny term to me (that I picked up here and that makes it pretty clear what sort of demographic I'm referring to).

Plus a lot of really great companies are Christian owned and operated, like JHS, Hungry Robot, Matthews, etc.
But man, they really do like cloning pedals for the P&W market, don't they?
I mean, I'm not talking about the whole JHS/Hyperion scandal.
I mean how the Foxpedal Magnifica, the Midnight30 Serenity, and the Mercy Seat Consider The Raven are all literally the same CultureJam reverb circuit in different housings, messed around with a bit, with super swaggy graphics.

I should really read casecandy's posts more thoroughly.

It's almost like they're trying to sell pedals to... as many people as possible... or something

Walrus came out as hardcore blues lawyers when they released the Messner Über-Bluezy OD the other week

JHS Twin Twelve is a good pedal and I stand by it

Possibly true.

Would you care to be more specific?
