But, note that Eric doesn't exploit his customers by making his company overtly Christian (this is from my interview with him):

With a fast-growing subset of the pedal market being comprised of worship leaders and guitarists, it would be quite convenient to make it abundantly clear that I am a fellow Christian operating a pedal company. However, since I started Hungry Robot Pedals, I have felt the conviction that using my faith as a marketing strategy would be exploiting my faith for my own personal profit.

Stirring the shit pot, sorry...

When you say that you're not going to exploit your religion but then turn around and talk about your faith and specify that you won't use it for personal profit you're definitely just advertising the fact that you're a Christian and you're using this question as an opportunity to market the fact that you're Christian.

It's poor form.

Not saying any of these people make bad pedals or good pedals. Caroline seems to make cool pedals. I don't really give a shit what you believe. I don't care if you exploit your religion or lack thereof. Just wanted to point out that by saying "I won't exploit my faith" you're exploiting your faith.

I hope that this settles the debate about Christianity in pedals so that we can go back to the war on plain red coffee cups.

Does anyone know if this is brick verb or something else? I listened to the demo the other day and it sounded pretty good. Curious if it uses that new Belton brick or not. I know with that brick you can control decay time, tone, boost is a resistance thing, and mix.

It does sound like a PT2399 design to me.

I asked him about his faith, and he seemed reluctant to answer the question, TBH.

I'm way more at fault than he is. He has never brought it up to my knowledge.

Now you're making the case for him. :P

Yeah, don't blame him for my shotty journalism.

Well, not shotty, just probably not in line with what he had in mind.

A lot of Christians don't like pushing the fact that they're Christians on people (believe it or not).

What did Thrice say? "Some of us are Christians, and we're in a band, but we're not a Christian band."

I do let people go over the interviews before they're published, though.

Doug Kauer redacted some statements but no one else has.

shoddy*

I was mid bong rip when I saw this and snorted so hard I got a mouthful of bong water. Goddammit Earth Crisis jokes never cease to be funny.

Maybe not an ashram. I'll be a Sufi. One of those whirling dervishes.

Might as well embrace the New Caliphate. Get in on the ground floor.
