I had a good laugh today

Well, looks like the Reverb listings are gone.

Reported the seller as wel. Because I'm not above kicking a bad guy when he's down.

Robert's pedal might end up being a very rare curiosity!

I still see it here https://reverb.com/en-fi/item/97301199-octaking-burstphonic-limited

Looks like there's 4 reviews for the seller who bought the Burstphonic, too.

I beg to differ.

@Robert any chance of a limited run of 50 PCBs with gold traces/soldermask?

I'll even throw in a hard copy of the build documentation, autographed by Morgan Freeman.

I figure if you use a credit card, you can dispute the transaction if it doesn't arrive as described. However, you might not want to discuss your purchase from "Aryan King's Private Collection" with customer service.

I've had to stop myself from looking for him on YouTube precisely because I don't want the algorithm serving me up a bunch of weird shit for the next six months.

I didn’t think you could take the current levels of Snake Oil to new levels.

Octaking Labs be like, “Hold my beer…”

Are we in for a rant thread from the owner when PPCB clones it?

Are we in for a rant thread from the owner when now that PPCB clones has cloned it?

If that dude has any brain, he'll engage as little as possible from this point forward to limit further SEO boosting of his bullshit. The last thing a logical scammer should want is a brighter spotlight.

He should maintain a low profile and hope that his marks are too stupid to dispute charges with their credit-card companies when they receive something vastly different from the "ad copy".

That said, cornered rats do stupid shit, and whoever's behind this isn't even starting with much sense.

I’m late to the party on this Burstphonic. Is this actually a real pedal?

That probably depends on what you mean by "real", but it is an actual product that someone is trying to sell.

Edit: I know there are a lot of pages in this one, but I promise you that reading this thread from the beginning will reward your effort.

This is far from important at this point, but in the bottom left corner there it looks like a DTF transfer of the artwork. Did Martin the master screen printer even exist?

What is even real anymore.

This thread is pushing me into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.

 

[Big Monk]

Welp, reading the highlights of this thread had me riveted.

I won’t pretend I’m surprised but also can’t discount how excited I was to see that Gutshot.

 

[genXslacker]

Wanna hear his music?

Christ. I just heard this. How embarrassing for him.

At this point I'm feeling a little self-conscious about all the piling on, but that shit really is remarkably, inexcusably, and laughably bad.
