Some serious Cork sniffery

Oh shit, Harby Pedals is from THE Joe Harby??!!!

If he was really into making these in an "affordable format", wouldn't he use regular enclosures? When your cheapest pedal is a $250 tubescreamer, that doesn't really scream affordable. And it doesn't seem like he's gouging the consumer, but rather spending cost on aesthetics that don't matter.

I'll never be in the market for a $250 klone but if the guy approached the description and representation entirely differently I'd probably feel differently about the snobbery of it... It does seem like an innocent approach though.. probably just his personality.. funny how they talk about assembled by team though.... Got a virtual factory pumping them out over there.. lol
Doesn't give me the creepy vibes as much as the klone that intersteller guy was pushing...

"for decorative purposes only"... Good stuff 😂

That had to be added because people were getting seriously upset (and in some cases, asking how it impacted the sound) thinking we were putting working SAD1024 in it...

Then I quickly remembered why I never decided to sell pedals my self 🤣

The people being part of the brand is something I dislike as well. It is how things online are run nowadays, but it does the opposite for me... It is offputting to see people sell themselves; it makes them unrelatable. To me, they're as real as a cartoon character.

The product should speak for itself. That's what my money buys.

My pet peeve is when you want to look up a recipe and before you can actually read the thing you came for you have to scroll through someone's entire life story just to get to 7 ingredients that apparently defined their life.

Sorry Sarah, your trip to the Andes and grandma's love did not make this cheese pasta taste of anything more than cheese and pasta.

Agreed, this is a pox on (hungry) humanity!

Fortunately, a lot of sites now have a “Jump to Recipe” button 🙏

I’ll take it a step further though. If I like a recipe enough to make it again, I’ll screenshot the ingredients page of the recipe (and maybe a little bit of the cooking instructions if they’re complex/non-obvious), edit as needed with my trusty Apple Pencil (white out banner ads, make notes on substitutions, convert weird measurement units to common ones, etc), then save to a “Recipes” album in my iPad Photos.
Then I can make the recipe whenever I want, no pop up ads, no internet required, minimal battery drain on iPad.

"Jump to recipe"
Sike. Dodge this 37 popups first mfer. Can we send you notifications?

The only thing worse is the comments section.
This was amazing. I subbed cheddar jack for the Gruyère, black pepper and cajun seasoning for the dill and thyme and cream of chicken for the heavy cream. I also skipped the double boiler and combined all ingredients into a 9x13 and baked at 375 for 45 minutes instead. Topped with crushed Doritos. Fam loved it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

BIsh, you didn't even make the recipe. You make a Midwest Cassersole!!!
