Looks like those church venues are out of the question.

I would have probably appreciated this more when I was 13.
My question is do you have to use sexual innuendo or plain offensive names in order to sell products?
Well it started long before, maybe with the Fuzz Face or quite possibly the Mainline amps, which had the most blatantly offensive advertising I can remember. A hypodermic needle injecting an amp.
Any way Metasonix seems to be marketing to the rich who never left adolescence. Probably a hit on frat row.
Any way if your product needs that kind of marketing to sell the it most likely won't stand on it's own.
Ok rant over and if any one doesn't like what I said, I don't care.

I think it's funny. But I haven't heard any decent clips of that thing. Not that I could afford it anyways.
I'd like to try some of their other stuff, though!

I've called about half the amps I've ever repaired that at least once.
Which probably explains why I'm offended.
