  1. 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.

  2. That's kind of a vague statement. It's likely gross income and not profit.

     

    I can't find the quote but I believe she claimed to have "taken home" something like $80k of that. I don't know how many pedal builders you talk to but it's a lot of money for the scope of her business any way you look at it. My point was that if she can leverage profits like that I don't understand why she needs $20k for some goofy dubstep pedal.

  3. yeah, I listened to the clip... is this really something that astounding?

     

    I take it you've never been involved in the world of string music :lol: People tend to go really crazy over stuff like that.

    This definitely is not possible with an e-bow because the e-bow doesn't apply pressure to the string. Choking the string is what is helping make the low notes. You can also apply the same principle and play very high notes with the bow... often by mistake.

  4. BTW if she's doing what I think she's doing this will never work on guitar. When you bow a string sometimes if it doesn't catch just right it will actually produce tones much higher or much lower than the note you intended.

     

    Go to a beginning cello class and you'll hear it all the time. Getting control over it and being able to play notes is pretty amazing though
