Re: MXR 5150 Overdrive Pedal!
Turns out that Dunn O guy was getting more butthurt than the Lonewolf guy:Kris wrote:Well it has been up for presale for a bit longer than a few weeks....Joe is very savvy when it comes to the electric wizzo but shit at keeping deadlines and not being a pompous self promotor. Matt dunn on the other hand is a fuckin legit top bloke, which is why I grabbed this.
Trying to undermine the AMT ones too:dunnoeffects: Fuck you @jimdunlopusa/MXR: this is the real #5150 pedal, brought to market months before yours. Accurate to the amp schematic and not just sporting a random stripe paint job.
AMT's been at the porting tube amp circuitry to FET pedals business long before either of those bedroom solderers came into the picture, would be pretty unlikely that they got it wrong.effectsdatabase: (btw the AMT P1 was also released to be a 5150 pedal a few years ago).
dunnoeffects: @effectsdatabase And yeah I know about the P1--I thought it was a little different and not a straight "5150" pedal.
But the most ironic part of their butthurtness is that both of them mostly just made clones or slightly tweaked versions of mass produced big brand pedals, yet they get upset about a big brand coincidentally release a similar product as theirs, which was probably aimed at a completely different market in the first place...

yeah it all seems a bit pointless in the end,they are appealing to completely different sections of the market.

Re: MXR 5150 Overdrive Pedal!
What a totally pointless clip.
Even more pointless than most pedal demos which are usually massively pointless.
No way to tell what settings are used or if the pedal is even on.

Watch the next 30 seconds where he turns the volume up and down and it gets louder and quieter.

Skip.
Now it's a carbon copy demo.
And... I'm not watching anymore of that shite.
