Yep. Way too clinical and competent. Give me some Burgs or Kayzer any day.


I'll take anyone over the new prymaxe dude. He plays like he is trying five star a song on Guitar Hero.


the drum programming, can we talk about the drum programming...

So I gave Prymaxe another chance and am super happy with my H9 that I received.

Here's the problem though. They are dicks. I'm not going to stand by and watch them treat builders like Tom like shit. He's not the first either. Fuck them. They have all his shit on clearance plus you can use 16% off. They knocked 50 bucks off most of his pedals just to make a point of some sort. Like we're all stupid and won't support Tom.

I say let's take a stand here ILF. Fuck Prymaxe Vintage. They have shit customer service and care apparently less for their suppliers than for their customers.

I will NOT buy from them again. Ever. I would rather save money to buy what I want than deal with some dick trying to control the market. I so fed up with them. Complete assholes.

Anyway, rant over. Do what you will, but they aren't getting my hard earned cash anymore.

I am onboard with you. Fuck those guys, they can't fuck with Tom. You should change the name of the title to the Prymaxe Vintage Protest Thread or something.

I'm with you. I value pedal builders like Tom more than dime-a-dozen shady distributors like Prymaxe.
Good deals on ILF: too many to list, just ask!

Read all thirteen pages of this thread.

Just wow.

I've never bought anything from WalPrymartxe and will continue to not support them.

Major Tom. Thanks for being awesome. I must buy something from you soon. I'm well set on fuzzes. So mayhaps a Tremulust is in order, when I get some other gear purchases out of the way.

yah. i gots my H9's off them. i'm never buying anything from small builders from them, and i think they... lose money? on selling a $500 pedal for $420? so i'm... fighting the system.... from the inside?

but yeh. fuck that. buy straight from builders or through FuzzHugger. DO IT.

I see where you're at, large companies aren't Tom, but the logic goes for them as well. They've got their profit margins worked out, and if their shit is constantly getting pegged at 15% lower than normal it's gotta squeeze them as well, which in the end isn't good for us consumers either.

yah. i totally agree. Eventide isn't Microsoft, i'm not saying fuck them they can absorb it.

i just.... i just got greedy. i didn't feel right buying 2 H9's at $550 (what they would be with tax which is everywhere i could find it in stock), but each at $420 was doable.

but you're right.

DAMN YOU GREED. SECHSY SECHSY GREED.

In first place it's not your greed I'd say, it's the greed of Eventide feeding the greed of Scumbag Cory which provokes the greed of the consumer in the end.

No worries behnders - I've been playing a heap of Boss stuff lately and have just come to really respect them - I mean, their gear would last a zombie apocalypse, it's priced cheaply, you can usually get a lot of sounds out of a little box, it sounds consistent - it's just super well designed stuff. Same with a lot of the bigger dudes - Eventide, TC etc. They're pushing the envelope in their own way, and I don't think they're overpriced. I think having guys like Tom, Ryan, Taylor et al is also great as they are bringing something unique to the table sonically and push the envelope in their way, and offer a level of service and customisation that is of course impossible with bigger companies.

This whole affair stinks - it bones the ILF dudes, and the bigger dudes - and Tom is sticking up for what's right, and that's not easy to do. Mad props. I wish Boss would ring up Prymaxe with their team of ninja lawyers and lay down the law.

I do get sick of all of these fly by night dudes downloading a schematic from freestompboxes and starting a pedal company to sell poorly soldered
"transparent" ODs at 200 bucks a pop though. They can sell their shit at prymaxe as much as they want.
Prymaxe, now delivering transparent tone (tm), 15% all year round.
