Ok, so I just got the 2010 musiciansfriend buyer's guide catalog and it seems as though danelectro's new cf-2 cool cat fuzz is now twice the price of the frantone peach fuzz ripoff cf-1! It's $60, while the old one was $30. Anybody know anything about this? Did they actually change the circuit any (copyright issues?) or did they just change the name and double the price now that their secret is out?

Oh Devi, worry not. My fuzz heart will always belong to you, and I have absolutely no interest in supporting Danelectro. I was just curious as to:

A) what would cause a company to hike up the price of a product by 100%

and B) if it actually was a different circuit or just a new name to justify a drastic price change.


:idk:

I think they added internal switches to it like they did on the timmy clone and the ocd(?) clone

But the CHILDREN! http://www.danelectro.com/kidclass_1.html

"A significant portion of Danelectro's profits are given to charity..."
They miss the part about what portion are given over to funding campaigns to restrict people's civil rights.
I like how they don't mention what SKJ stands for...SKJ == Sons of King Jesus...it's a fucking mission.
Cultural imperialism at its worst. Parasites taking advantage of poverty: " Hey, we'll give you clean water and a roof over your head. Read this book and accept jeebus into your heart or GTFO"

"The SKJ home was started by Evangelist Mrs. Mary Chomba in the year 2000, out of her love and concern for the orphaned and the destitute children. It was during her missionary trips when she met a lot of needy suffering children around the country."

So can missionaries

The very first successful mod I ever did was on a crappy old Fab Echo, which I then re-housed and gave to a friend as a gift. I wouldn't buy their stuff brand new but if a used pedal comes my way for <$20, I'm not gonna say no. They make for fun little weekend projects.
