In order to fund giveaways I believe I'm going to put ads on the site using google adsense, yes ads are a bummer but anyone can install adblock. They will not be intrusive either, if they ever are, they are gone.

I hope everyone doesn't use adblock though, the more clicks on those ads I get, the more money I can spend on a cool giveaway.


I'd be down for some demos man! I just have to figure this stupid Studio One program at. My interface seems to hate me but I'm pretty sure I've got the problem I was having figured out. Would just sound clips do with a write up on the effect? I'm not sure I have the capabilities to do a video demo. I could borrow and HD camera from my parents, but it's not mine...so not sure how much I'd be able to use it. Let me know.

That'd be awesome :thumb:

Don't worry you will be given ample credit and a space to promote anything you so choose!

Also a writeup and sound clips would be great. Would you be using soundcloud to upload them?

That's the format I had planned too, also I don't plan on having a rating system, sound is subjective and cannot be given a number. So just comment on various aspects of the pedal like: sounds, applications, build quality, etc.

Thanks jwar! :omg:


And to mudfuzz: I think you're blog is awesome and today I've realized how much fun it is. Everyone deserves to see your work, especially because bass reviews and demos seem to be much harder to come by.

I hope we can do a cool collaboration soon! :hug:

Though I do attribute your Whetstone demo to inducing major GAS for one :p :drool:

Ah but you see THAT is what I am trying to do. If I post it and do a demo and a write up that means I like the pedal and think everyone should try it :thumb:

Sounds good! I'll get working on something ASAP. It might take me about a week or so because of work though, but I can get it done. I'll PM you or e-mail you when I'm close to finished.

Also, I don't think it's any problem to use Soundcloud.
