I agree that W&C are probably the muff masters right now, and you know their quality is going to be like 40 times that of these new reissues, but the cheapy cheapness of these is going to be hard to resist hnngggg

Two things:
1. I'm probably gonna get one.
2. Billy should never speak and just play guitar. He seemed perfectly fine doing that spot. May nobody ever ask him about anything but gear ever again.

This is the BM I always wanted. Maybe are other options to get that sound, but here, where I live, there aren't so many, so I'm waiting this and hope the price be reasonable.

Yea I definitely am interested as well. I never buy Wren and Cuff stuff. Matt seems like an ok guy but I just don't like buying straight clones. I did love the Box of War however.

really going after Wren and Cuff's business, it seems.

This is my favorite part of EHX's business tactics. "Oh you're selling our design for $200? Here it is for $80 easily attainable at every guitar store ever."

Even outside their own designs, bless them for making the Soul Food.

I made a BM today. I did not want it.
Anyway. Thought this sounded pretty good. Who fricking knows.

no, I thought he was awesome on Rogan's show. He has some really great insight, particularly on the music industry. I will admit he lost me when the shapeshifter nonsense came up, but otherwise really interesting.
I definitely want this muff, I dont get the EHX hate - they do some of the most unique stuff in the business. Yeah, maybe the quality is subpar, but theyre also extremely low priced. in my opinion you get what you pay for and then some
also, that reverend guitar is pretty sweet

The hate usually comes from the shoddiness of the products from what I've seen. They are usually make like shit and don't last long unless they are the older boxes.
Apart from that, I don't get the hate either. Maybe it's not boutique enough or whatever for ILF.

I think some people get bummed out on their graphics nowadays. Like, they used to be the coolest looking shit. But now they literally have a pedal with turnip on it.

Mike Matthews comes off as a creep in some videos with woman around. The attempt at art can be painful. Hideous colors and silly names sometimes, and I hate the raw sides of the boxes. Their aesthetic peaked with the utilitarian big box and Sovtek pedals, in my opinion. Some of my favorite pedals ever were older EHX but quality concerns keep me away from new stuff. Some of their difital stuff has an unpleasant high frequency sound in my rig. But I love they made a $60 klone.

Yeah, this was a big turnoff, for me.
He seems like he should be in Cheech & Chong, but the "rich old dude that kinda wants to get some but knows he'd probably lose everything if he tried" vibe creeps me out, too.

YES! This one looks ok to me but thats only cuz it's a throwback to one of their classic designs. The plain ass knobs they put on everything, this one included, suck as well. They make everything look cheap.
