I had a good laugh today

Hidden Internal Controls
Precision-tuned internal parameters, including a MID / 1.2 kHz shaping circuit, allow exact harmonic voicing consistent with vintage PAF resonance.


About that....

It's a trim pot, the mid control of a 3-band baxandall.... and the precision tuning procedure basically just consists of diming the f**ker.

.... and I mean, I'm good with that. :ROFLMAO: 🤘

I just looked circuit picture on page 7 and started to wonder if this game changing pedal isn’t YATS, but just a tamed bax rodent. Maybe one toggle chooses between yellow leds/si clipping? There’s also one IC, 2 j-fets/si transistors as in out buffers and phaze shitting toggle. Or is it modded dist+? I’ve been on this pedal builder life style cult not too long to make any better guess, but it’s not YATS or is it?
 
My high school band was Sofa King, with the first "album" titled "What"

That was a non starter…

Also the only reason I know is if because I'm a classically trained typography nerd. Or was. Now I've got Dad Brain and only care/know about maybe five typefaces.

what the shitting fuck kind of a price is that

Strewth, that's heaps madmaxdollars.
This amount of dough can buy you:

a) 0.0016 houses in Kalgoorlie;
b) 1.84 sheep and a tube'o'lube in Rawlinna;
c) 6.5 hookers and at least 1 STD in Whyalla;
d) an unforgettable night out, topped with a fine for trying to climb on the Paper Clip, in Elizabeth Quay in Perth.
 
I'm more or less waiting for this to blow up on Reddit... The sadist in me wants to see this turn into a firestorm.

"Reminder to y'all RC boost (mass market) Goes for 260 Euros (Used), the other boutique pedals, goes for 400-500 euros that comes with a (Sh** box) convincing you it's BOUTIQUE! we have Art projects, we are 3 mother&&&&s of perfectionists, working on best VISUALS, best SOUND, and best Collections! Trust me, the further we go the madder it gets! Your burst phonic is a PICKUP PEDAL! but it has a hidden EQ+Clean Boost! It has OUT-OF-PHASE! It has Strat/Humbucker Switch! And it's beaaaaauuuutiiiifulllll! Get yours, so you won't cry in 3 years, that they are going in reverb for 4000 euros ajajaja. cheers!"

God-fucking-damnit! He plans on scalping suckers with his own pedals, isn't he?


Bonus lie via TGP: "It as even worse with their day to day promises and outright lies… for example they sent out an email telling every to check the downloads section of the site for certificates and order number. After a couple weeks of nada I emailed them asking about it and their reply was “don’t worry about it”. That’s how those MFs roll."

Up until yesterday this thread (and the entire Open Discussion sub-forum) required registration to view and wasn't indexed by Google...

@jamesalberton registered and immediately came to this thread upon activation... He didn't just stumble across it, he already knew it was here.
Nah! Sorry, I am not one for delayed gratification: might end up as roadkill tomorrow and miss out on things. Also, gossip sucks! Gotta get that truth up a man's face instead of behind his back, so I told him his pedal was being traced and set against his AI marketing hyperbole and he might want to join the discussion, which I linked, and for which he needed to register. But then he comes and puts down fake reviews instead... Because he's the kind of Ricky Retardo who thinks he's smarter than the room.

He's parting with the cheddar to hand paint each enclosure, but having someone dime the trimmer had to get cut from production because it was too expensive.

He’s giving real “Steven Seagal abusing chatGPT prompts” energy because an articulate wunderkind he ain’t.

I have a strong suspicion that he found out what manufacturer Behringer uses and had them work the whole thing up, with maybe some iterative changes to prototypes so that it had the look and margins he wanted.

Also, 1/8-watt resistors on a board with that much real estate? Come on, son.

I respect the sheer audacity you had to tell him about Robert's work. However I'm not going to mince my words, this toes the line of Benedict Arnold territory.
 
I have had time to ruminate on what I said. @tegendemuur
I apologize for the kind of reply I made. My intention was to essentially say we don't need outside attention from mindless randos about Robert's work and I came off as mean and petty. If anyone thinks I was defending this 'Aryan King' phony, couldn't be further from the truth. He is advertising what sounds like an actual good pedal with buzz words, slick marketing, and AI bullshit when he didn't even need to, this would have sold quite well if he was advertising it what it is.

I wouldn't call the marketing slick. I would say the marketing insults the intelligence of a prospective buyer.
