No. We're a reference point for just about every fuzz and pedals that sit outside of "regular musical operating parameters".
Besides that, even though PGS caters for a few obvious blooz-lawyer types, I think their success actually lies in keeping things fairly broad and trying to stock stuff thats appealing to a larger demographic. There's a big chunk of that douchieness, for sure, but it's sort of to be expected and it is tolerable. Especially when theyre on board with a lot of the "weird" shit builders here are putting out and are usually enthusiastic about demoing it.
Builders feel free to let me know if your experience there is different, but thats the impression I get.
Most google searches for pedals that arent typically PnW will lead you here, or at the very least will point to a demo made by a member.
Its how i ended up here.
Everything I searched for kept landing me on ILF, so I thought, "fuck it. Time to sign up."
Having said that, an expansion in membership and extra exposure doesn't have to be a bad thing and I'd posit that, for the most part, we've been enriched by new members in recent history.
But, if there were a coordinated attack, we'd be overwhelmed pretty quickly.

Ilf has astonishingly good seo (this is at least some of the reason echorec posts his torrent of "content" here I'm sure :lol: ). This is not a new phenomenon: the hot shit on eBay thread has been lurking vulture food for at least four years. What's changed is that the builders here have caught on, so the search volume has increased.

Eg the most common search query to the site (per some very rudimentary google Fu) is "I love fuzz count to five."

And this is also why I'm pushing for a gated bst and you should be as well. :thumb:

Best possible response.
I nearly spat my tea all over my monitor and keyboard.
Also, I love that the new soy boy opted for "Depth" as a username.

I do lack the necessary historic standing to make that call, but in my time ("recent history", I believe I wrote), it has seemed to be more warm and fuzzy than piss and vinger-y.
I amy have not waded into a few essential threads, though. :idk:

TBH that's why I don't get all the uproar about bossman. He's no worse than devnulljp or pre 2012 Dubkitty or beerhammer era Spacey when it comes to how he's received by the forum. We've always had those posters.

Hold the phone...real talk...my buddy wants me to listen to the new QOTSA (he wants to hear my thoughts on it)...guys...I don't want to listen to the new QOSTA.

Re: The what ever thread...

Wed Aug 30, 2017 10:42 am

Well... do you like QOTSA?

Re: The what ever thread...

Wed Aug 30, 2017 10:45 am

Also I wanna know more about pre 2012 Dubkitty :D

I LOVE the first four albums and was/am a huge KYUSS fan. I don't think I listened to ERA VULGARIS in its entirety? I guess I'm just not interested in them now.

Yeah, EV is the only one I don't really like, or rather it's my least favorite. I really loved Like Clockwork, but I think the new one is sorta good not great—certainly worth a listen for the different kinds of sounds/production than previous material, and little bits of the old style poke through.

*While you were listening to the new QOTSA, I was running for president*
I probably will listen though. Thanks Pop!

Been there done that. Note that this is not the sometimes funny Ziltoid of present day but ZiltoidTheOmnisicent, which was an alt of... um... someone.*
