They did said Walrus Audio Iron horse several times

Honestly, I was looking for something positive to say about it.

Maybe I should rephrase..... it's executed well from a visual standpoint.... everything else blows

And until you mentioned the name, no one else did in this entire thread (checked, before any other editing goes on). I had to watch it twice to grab the name. The job of marketing is to "sell" you the product and while we're all talking about the video, NO ONE has been talking about the pedal. So, from a marketing standpoint, it fails. Nothing of that video made me say "Wow, these guys at Walrus Pedals are cool, I'm going to check their website out and find out more" which is the point of marketing, especially when you're making a demo.

From the OPs original comment about watching something that is more about gear in general, it's great! I was more interested in the artists they were highlighting and the ways those guys use pedals over anything else. They could easily turn that into a 15-30 minute documentary on the artists and what they do, have them use only WA pedals, put something in the credits about Walrus Audio (maybe put a website in there so people don't have to hunt for it), and I'd probably check them out AND THEN say "Oh wait, the pedals they used in the videos were theirs?" At which point, you would then be on their website, wanting to find proper demos.

Would've been a much more clever marketing strategy.

I think they were trying to do more of a introduction to the company then a pedal demo. They are new to the game and were trying to get their name and vibe out. I liked it. I think the whole this is a bunch of "hipsters" thing is weird and lame. Who in the hell says the word hipster anymore besides my boss when he is talking to me about band of horses after they come into our store. Here is a actual demo by them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GjNHWJvEK0

Again, just my opinion. And they swing from aens shittiest demos nuts.

Just saying. If you listen and pay attention, they do say the pedals name several times. In fact it's at 13 secs. LOL!

THIS is more like it. This dude is the reason I bought Walkure.

And again, we're talking about the video and not mentioning the name of the company or pedal. You're proving my point; they did mention the names, but none of us are talking about them.

THAT is a nice demo. I actually want to hunt down a Voyager now.

Well to be honest, the reason I don't talk about them is because they are kind of pricey for what they do. I've known about the pedals for awhile though.

OMG YOU GUYS I'M BOUT TO SUSAN POWTER UP IN HERE... I'm the op and of course I knew the pedal and company... I posted the dang thang... My point was not to talk about the pedal or company but to showthat there are other ways to shoot a pedal demo than just an above shot (which some of you love) or with an camera on the floor aimed at dirty laundry (whatever you like)... I'm not dissing other videos or saying these are the coolest kids I've ever seen step on a pedal go buy it now... Just throwin it out there that I thought it was a cool pedal vid and didn't know I entered the 37th chamber of Pedal Marketeers United... I also said that I can tell pretty quick whether an audio product is right for me or not and vids are usually nothing more than icing on the cake or more ice pick in eye than informative for me... Just Nick and Aen make cool vids, FBG's vids are at least kinda fun and refreshing and even GMD has his moments... Again not bitching or dissing cause I don't have a camera to make my own, just saying what I like and thought a few fellow fuzzers would get a kick outta watching it too...

OK, GO...

FUCK YOU!!

I for one, want to see fbg's face. My lawyer balls have been blue since she first graced the demo scene

It is definitely a well shot video, but I'm not sure if I would call it a demo. By the end of it I couldn't remember the name of the pedal and was more interested in hearing the bands those people played in.
Too bad the quality of regular demos can't be that well done.
