Your reissues can exist and be desirable without calling them *vintage such and such*
You make me want to not buy whatever you're selling due to false positives in search results.
When I want vintage I buy vintage. When I want RIs I buy RIs. Buzzwords are for poseurs.
Stop it.

I have better luck plugging "old piece of shit" or "broken" into my search terms when sniffing around for the classics.

can't wait for DSP to be considered 'vintage' when future effects are all quantum entangled or some shit

I'll be the first to buy a pedal that adds a digital dust quality to my signal.

Just get one of those pedals from the people who brought modulation back.

They did a throwback 80s delay, didn't they?

Bro they didn't bring it back. They re-popularized it or some shit. hahaha

I love vintage tone. If you say it with everything, it may trick me into thinking it's vintage, which equal mojo. Mojo equals a better player I assume. I can use all the mojo I can get.

Underrated scene. Jay's goodbye horses Buffalo Bill dance is also hilar if not a bit cringy.
However that seemingly random, large-scale choreographed dance number is one of the biggest cringes ever put to film.
I like the direction this thread has taken.

But to callback the pitchman goofiness:

Worse.

From Guitar World, 2029,

"New guitar hero, Neon Pantyhose, swears by his first generation Line6 Spider amps. He plays eight of them live, plus floorboards.

And a Fender Cyber-twin.

He sounds amazing, twirling the double-necked djent seven string Vai custom Ibanez like a mad Barbie."

Everything about that scenario sounds alarmingly plausible

You know... I'd totally rock a cyber twin if you could program patches like with the organelle, and it was capable of running like five of them at the same time with an effects loop that could be placed anywhere in that signal chain....

I still think they look cool, and I really liked that the knobs actually turned to the preset values.

Yea, well, you'd have to get five of them and then hack them up to put in that FX loop.

I like the motorized knob thing - that and the led knobs of the Behringer and Roland stuff that accomlish effectively the same thing.

I'd love one too but I have its spiritual descendant that sounds better in the Mustang V. :)
