So is this like IAIGF without the comedic creativity of memes, and we directly criticize each other’s opinions?…. Am I reading the room right? For the record I’m totally fine with that I just need to know how much popcorn I need to make before people start getting butt hurt at each other… and the thread gets nuked 🤣 🍿

Yes, state honest opinions with hopefully no butthurt. It's called debate 😁

It matters to me because it makes the usable range super narrow.

It's not about the size, its how you use it. :sneaky:
The usable range on any volume knob is super narrow unless you want to cut or boost your volume when that pedal is engaged. I generally find this to be more annoying on amps than pedals. I do see your point but it just doesn't really hit home to me as an issue.

  • Tayda Hammered Enclosures look just plain bad.

Lol, the hottest take: "hey, f%@# you!"
 
Deep down, many human beings are expecting music and arts to be as simple as "press this button and it will do all the tidious work for you", "turn this knob and you will feel better". I am afraid that the universe isn't so kind and simple... Or maybe this strategy works, but only for kind and simple people ?

Human beings are used to build tools. At some point we can be owned by our tools, they can become our crutches, and finaly our tools are able to create some gaps in our various abilities to interact with the outside world.

Stompboxes are all useless. A real artist, someone who really has something to say or to share, doesn't need any of them. They can very easily become just a palliative to the lack of creativity and imagination.

As a matter of fact, the real beauty doesn't reside in the circuitry. That's only sophistication. Music and arts are about emotions, complexity, refinements and progress.

We all like stompboxes very much, but we shouldn't because it's wrong.

Am i wrong ?
