If I don't like my Joyo Tremolo I'll just sand off the finish and sell it on TGP as a Freakish Blues prototype.

Plus they have to add the goop and scrape any evidence off the board with a file or screwdriver or whatever they're using. The 5-7 week wait time is starting to make more sense...
The finishes are super ugly to boot, their only contribution is still another major fail!
And no words for that video, just

That gross line of goop obscuring the scratched board is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

I emailed them about the Alpha Drive and they said this

Ours is based on the same platforms tweaked to get an accurate Dumble sound out of a Fender and other clean platform amps. Listen and play the pedal as there is nothing else on the market that comes close.
Fuckin' Dumble Toanzzzz
After talking to him for awhile I asked them if I could see a gut shot. He stopped replying immediately after.

Lol
even though I think this is pretty fucked up, I have to admit I find it kindof funny how they targeted TGP like that. It was pretty brilliant in a fucked up kinda way. I mean they knew exactly how to get the hype going and the waitlist and basement was the icing on the cake.
Or was that brown shit the icing?

Honestly, anybody that's gotten swayed into buying a pedal from watching that tub of shit armchair blues nonsense deserves to be taken advantage of.

I finally got a email back about the gutshot and it just said this:

Yeah, it's like they're not even trying to be subtle about how greasy they are. It almost feels like they're deliberately trying to troll the corksniffer.
... Which in it's own special way would be absolute genius, if it were true.
Seriously:
-Dumbass mojo arrow company name/branding/vision, check.
-Misogynistic portrayal of women, check.
-Re-enclosed Chinese budget product, check.
-Weaksauce attempt at hiding the facts, check.
-FAT LOOSER playing THE BLUES in a freggen ARMCHAIR??? ...check. mate.
