Huh, Pluto incoming, it looks like. I figured by the time I clicked they'd be well gone, but the sale went through!

I think it rather belongs into the "Ugliest gear" thread, but these are new pedals:

Those pedals look really weird and cramped; they need to be at least 15-20% larger for those knobs to look right.

I kinda like how janky they look, but I like kitsch. They remind me of cheap 90s pedals. And if the graphic design is wack, at least the industrial design is solid: aluminum case, top mounted jacks, true bypass and analog-through for the digital circuits, and color-coded LEDs. Good shit.

I assumed the Fuzz would be a Foxx Tone Machine, what with the octave switch and tone knob, but it sounds like a different circuit and much cooler imo. Ratty and nasty. The chorus has a 1/2/4 voice switch and a level knob, that's p dope. The flanger is a rare three-knobber that lets one of the knobs be manual instead of resonance (way more useful imo); plus you get a res switch anyway! Kinda weird that spring isn't one of the modes on the reverb; you are Fender, my dudes. Allegedly at least some of them have internal controls too.

The prices are amazing for 2022, two (2). I'd pick up the fuzz, overdrive, chorus, and maybe one of the delays if there's a sale.

They look like they should be plugged into one of these:

I'd still rather have feedback as a knob. :idk: They could've just made it w/ four knobs instead of three knobs & two switches. :lol: :grumpy:

Agreed.

+1! It is 2022 and those fonts look like 1996, when some guys tried out some cool free fonts on their Windows 95 PCs. It was kinda cool back then, but today it definitely is NOT!

Haha probably. I suppose the switch is positive/negative feedback? A bipolar feedback knob would have been more elegant, but at this price?

My main three settings for a resonance knob are none, some, and all, whereas I like to actively sweep the manual leg.

got an old WC from Gumtree (Aus version of Craiglist) recently and I have really been loving it, much more versatile than I thought it would be and really responsive to picking dynamics/input volume changes

Haven't seen much love for the OBNE Screen Violence here:

I'm gassing pretty hard for one, I think it sounds rad and the stereo aspects of it are super cool.

I did not know about that, so thanks for passing on the gas; looks tasty :snax:
