To be fair, Mountainking (and Sonny, who's also the fucking man) are both working from a position of their existing endorsements gaining them a large foothold in the pedal nerd community.
Those pedals speak for themselves. They don't need fancy websites. Other pedals aren't so fortunate.
(Not a knock of the Wattson pedals themselves.)
Do they though? I mean that in all seriousness. I've NEVER tried one of Sonny's pedals, and haven't had a desire to. It sounds cool, but I just haven't cared to try it. The ONLY reason I started trying Mountainking was all the boner licking around here about it. Which to be quite honest, I'm not that impressed with them. Alan doesn't even answer emails when you say "I have money, please take it". So yea...not the best customer service.
What are their endorsements btw? Other than this place and Talkbass??? I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just curious.
I don't think the website matters. I get orders for Acid Splash and I don't even have a website. Does that mean I'm not a pro? NO. It means I don't care to have one at this time because it's not that big of a deal to most people.
A website is only as good as the builder. I could give a crap less about someone's website.
