Seems reasonable for a sociopath.

While we're discussing personal grievances, how about the concept of peacocking over "it's on sale!"
Everything for sale is on sale, before and after markdowns.
Cant help but smirk when someone attempts to exploit the psychological aspect of FIFTEEN DOLLARS OFF? WOOHOO WHAT A GOOD DEAL I CANT AFFORD NOT TO BUY AND MISS OUT!!! in customers, while dramatically ranting FIFTEEN DOLLARS OFF? BOOHOO MUH PROFIT MARGINS WHICH ALLOW FOR MARKDOWNS TAKE A HIT BUT I CANT AFFORD TO MISS OUT ON CUSTOMERS WHO ONLY BUY AT *THE GOOD DEAL* I AM SO GRACIOUS TO OFFER.

While I 100% understand the bitching (same reason we bitched about guys that tried to flip the 856 for ZELLERSASN for 2 to 3 times what they bought it for immediately after they got it), keep that shit on your personal profile.
I've seen other builders bitch about that kinda stuff, but they have the wisdom to keep the bitching off their official site/FB/other social media account.

Yeah it's not a particularly good look (neither are his pedals, though, IMO)

I've said this elsewhere and will say it again as apparently it has not been illustrated enough. When you sell a product you are no longer in control of what is done with that product. It is in fact the consumers prerogative to do whatever they see fit with that product. They can buy and sell them all day long if they want, that is their decision. If you as a seller have sales and don't expect some people to take advantage of that fact, then you are an idiot.
I totally agree with you there. All I'm saying is the dude has a right to complain if he feels like people are being shit heads. Is his company's facebook page the best place to do that? Not really, he should have dealt with the customer directly and put more info on his site or some shit. Looks like he is now trying to backpedal his way out of the situation.

Hit the nail on the head.

devi ever has some funny storys about this...and posts it on her'' fb.. totally understandable when it comes it 8 week build time.. but instead of bitching to the person you just paid, a nice "so hows it comming" may be enough...i know when i was having a simple road case from kent custom built and it took 7 weeks i called them once to see hows it going...just when buyers all of a sudden cancel! because of ''taking too long'' or open a dispute! without communication, that would be enough after multiple times to loose your shit and be a dick with special rules like a down payment...theres tons of people that feel its necessary to egg on a builder...some kind of young pansy asses who think their a career musician cuz their mommys got them all the gear in the world

"FUZZ MODE FOOTSWITCH -- The original Hyper Fuzz had a rotary switch you had to get down and turn with your hands to switch between the 2 completely different sounding fuzz modes (not to mention the useless gain boost that we removed)."
Ok, this guy is useless and needs to be removed.

To be honest, I never use the boost mode with my FZ-2
