No that was not the point. I said people ARE buying them. YOU may not wait so long to buy a crap pedal. YOU may not give a crap's ass about the poorly made product. OTHER PEOPLE do. And so they are continued to be made. And so the english language wins and they are called boutique.
If a new guy comes in and says "hey I heard about xyz pedal. How come I don't see it at swee lee?"
YOU can go ahead and tell him "Because it's a crap pedal made by one guy in a shop so slow and with low quality parts and that I won't want to wait for it."
Most of us here will say it's cos it's a boutique pedal. Then if we like we'll add our OPINION on the quality.
Metasonix butt probe.
Here's a soundclip:

Only 100 were made and sold for about US$450 each. The makers themselves said they used the crappiest tubes they could find as I recall.
I know, we'll call these pedals pooteek, like how 'the others' call it :wink:
