Reading the words "Sonic Ecstasy" in the heading for a guitar product makes me want to vomit in my mouth. Looking at this new age-trinity-Waterworld-ganja box mess makes my eyes want to vomit. ---Just "no." No tribal guitar products, no use of the word ecstasy---and certainly never following the word sonic.

This is not a new guitar, but it got pushed out at me in a facebook ad this morning because I've been looking at acoustics lately.

agree to some degree. like, classic electric guitars and basses were heavily influenced by car culture -the colors and shapes (somewhat) and even some of the instrument names were from cool cars. i kinda romanticize old cars and bikes, but i do hate the general machismo bullshit that's so common in those circles. ...and well, i guess in most circles.

EDIT: anywaaay, that pedal looks super ugly!

FOR REAL! I use one of these. It sounds good and is super adjustable. But gat damn is it hideous. It really only looks natural on the pedalboard of some garbage numetal band. Its also about twice as wide as it needs to be and 3 times as heavy.

This looks like a reject Godsmack album cover.

Even the new Rubberneck is somewhat disagreeable with me, because they just couldn't help themselves---they had to add arrows and circles. They couldn't keep it cleaner and more minimal like the vintage DOD designs. They had to clutter it up.

I don't have anything personal against those guys, and I don't want to e-fight them over their amateurish graphics. I appreciate their electronic efforts and their overall contributions to the pedal world/family, but their pedals are just so inexcusably unsightly.
It's ugly, but I don't see hypermacho redneckism. I see an NYC cab......as the name implies.
