Failed Pedal Lines and Companies

[sylnau]

Thanks, Syl! I'll look into that next week when I stop being poor and get rich instead.

I just tried to order one out of curiosity. They're out of stock.

I would have love to hear Eivind's demo of that one.

Loud Button closed up shop sometime in the last year or two.

[D.o.S.]

I mean can we say devi ever or is that rude?

[aens_wife]

[Bassus Sanguinis]

The Syle. Green Filter is still one of my favorites, I wish someone made a similar pedal of higher quality.
Robot Factory personally hurts the most, I'm still kicking myself for not getting Hydra when it popped up on ebay about two years ago.

The Prescription Electronics thing was a mystery to me. They were one of the first really successful and widely available built-by-hand outfits. I think the Yardbox and Experience were many players' first encounters with the boutique market. The Throb was a Pulsar clone before EHX reissued it. They were perhaps the first of the Portland builders (pre-CBread, pre-Malekko, pre-Deville, pre-Lightfoot, etc.), and at some point they announced a name change, but seem to have disappeared from the scene. Their old HQ fuzzbox.com remains inactive.

Gone Fission and Hyphen Nation mentioned PE as well.

He's something you didn't know. I was in the works of buying PE and homie just up and decided to stop responding to me. We had emails going back and forth and then, bam, no replies. I was very close to buying the rights to everything. Oh well.

I would have had to hire people to do things, and I am glad I didn't. haha.

Well that sucks!!! Any chance of starting that convo back up? I'd throw in some $$$ to help with that venture...

Is Farndurk still alive?

Is Farndurk still alive?

If he is, there's probably about a hundred of his customers who wanna kill 'im.

Sigh. I actually tried in December and had no response. He may have shut down his email or just figured fuck it. It's whatever. Just sucks. That line would do well. It just needs some tweaking on some of the circuits. Sad thing man. I love PE.

Has anyone mentioned Earthbound Audio? Wait.....they exist again. NM. LOL

I'll build!

[D.o.S.]

I will write copy and answer emails.

in a nice way. not in an ILF-y way. Most of the time.

[Confuzzled]

What about the guy who made the PPL in the back of the music shop in Brooklyn where the stomp box exhibit is held? Is he still in business?

[D.o.S.]

That's Schumann. And no, he is not.
