Don't take my comments about Zvex out of context. Without Zvex few of us would be on this forum today. He changed the game by thinking outside the box. Don't forget about the Vexter series... there was a time when a boutique pedal for less than $170 was something totally new.
The reason I hate what Zvex has become is because I feel like the company could still be capable of dropping bombs on the industry but he's {censored}ing around with the "invent-o-box" and box-o-metal.
