Winstons don't deserve that.
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.echorec wrote:Couldn't agree with you more on this one.

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.worra wrote:Always thought the Weeping Demon was wicked ugly:

It's ugly, but I don't see hypermacho redneckism. I see an NYC cab......as the name implies.echorec wrote:Couldn't agree with you more on this one.

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.
