pete cornish.
so overpriced it's unbelievable and wait listed too. it'll take over 2 years to get a system made by him if you started today.
fuck yea it's super overpriced...beyond anything out there but they never break down. most of his customers are of the old school that aren't worried about money. ie: david gilmore, lou reed and just about all those old english rockers. it's the old guard's way of thinking and they usually don't stray from whats worked for them in the past.
as a touring guy, i understand that and i know if i'm in charge of a pete cornish rig, it's always going to work. that makes me happy in my job.
the bradshaws have given me headaches, those made from the all access switching have broken down on me, i've used countless others that always break down or are noisy as fuck. never a cornish and that's why he gets fat paid.
i'd never ever ever ever suggest to anyone to go the cornish route and even talked one person out of it. so don't think i'm flying his flag..i do not, i just understand the whys of the situation.
AND
you'd have to be a fool to buy a stompbox from him. a fucking fool.
i would love to pick and choose my work, charge 50 times more than anyone else and have them line up for it.
yea man, sign me the fuck up for that.
which leads to a question.
if people are willing to pay an exorbitant amount of money for your work....would you ask for less?
