Most prescient pedal names

Postby niftyprose » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:28 pm

Offshoot of the more famous 'worst pedal names' thread (viewtopic.php?f=149&t=63297)

Here in the UK we've this afternoon received news that a third case of the B1.1.529 COVID variant has reached these shores. I thought the WHO designation sounded familiar: the name they've assigned, Omicron, was chosen by Malekko nearly a decade ago for some rather tasty mini-format mostly analog pedals, including a particular well-liked vibrato: https://malekkoheavyindustry.com/product/vibrato-2/

Don't want to make light of a pandemic but there has to be an angle here. Just sayin'...

The one with Britney graphics? Best pedal is best. :cool:

The name makes it the most appropriate pedal to purchase in 2020/21.
