Skin Pimp Pedals

Post by Gunner Recall »

The tattoo thread reminded me of a new builder who should be releasing his stuff some time soon.

Yes, moar fuzz. http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=494203

The dude is a tattoo artist so hopefully he'll carry that over to his final products. The MKIII sounds pretty nice.

Check out the one off proto he did for someone on TGP

I don't want to be a downer but all of the pedal clips sound like they could come from the same pedal.... very similar. :idk:

I have to say.... I haven't listened to samples yet so I can't judge the tone. But that pedal design is schmea...

I really can't stand this whole "Ed Hardy/ Affliction" thing that's been going on... It's an annoying part of our culture, and now our pedals :/

As much as I hate ed hardy, I have the hope that the popularity of his crap will make tattoos more accepted.

I still get asked all the time how long I was in prison for or what gang I belong to just because I have tattoos :facepalm:

That's really the ONLY good thing this has brought... Making tattoos more socially acceptable. Other than that... I don't giva damn about "Don Ed Hardy," his clothes are for doods and middle aged women. And the fact that he charges the price he does sickens me. It's like these boutweekers charging $400+ for a muff variant.

Hahaha I just read through the thread and the guy seems like an ass, not to mention everyone thinks hes like the next DAM. The whole idea of making big bucks from tonebender and FF clones seems so absurd to me! He'll probably prove that to be true. And as "DON" has proved, tattoos make everything more expensive.

I should kiss some ass on TGP, and start cloning pedals. They'll buy em if they're "cool" enough. Haha and they're SO against cloning... Except for the classics. Wait if you clone a classic you just cloned most boutiquers.... Hm.... I guess it's a good thing DAM invented fuzz.

These pedals are so "metro." I like the buzzaround, but I'd rather buy from Montgomery IF I couldn't build it myself.

We should take bets on how absurd his prices will be.

Done with my rant. Go "Skin PIMP"

There you go. Also, I lose respect for anyone who doesn't know how to properly use ellipsis.

Bump. I'm in a tone-bendery phase. Thinking of a mk3.

Any owners here? (I know you're out there)
