Does Bob Bradshaw still do racks and pedal boards?

[Mr. Willy]

Thankful for threads like these. I’m sure he was the man for rack stuff in the day, but I’ll never do business with him due to the risk factor.

He wanted to charge me 13 or 14 dollars per switch for a Rocktron RSB 18F I was working on, that's pretty steep for PC mount SPST foot switches, when I asked if he could do a bit better on the price he flew into a rage and cursed me out, so I'm all set with him.

This made me bust out laughing
Just the way you said it. Awesome.

Honestly, I use foul language at least 1000 times a day, but NOT to a potential customer. Dude was/is unhinged. All I asked was could he do better on the price and I'M an asshole ??? Fuck me...

He still makes incredible footswitches.

No doubt he's a genius, but he's a dick to boot. Quite a few horror stories out there of rip offs etc... and he will not work on any of the Rocktron stuff that has his name all over it.

This was one thing I never understood is CAE owned by Suhr or Bob or both?

Also which model is which? Like which amp is the Suhr version vs. the Bob version.

Reminds me of the Bill Lawrence pickups fiasco.

CAE is all Bob. Suhr worked for him, and designed some of the amps.

Bob's new shop is 10 mins from me. Still building rigs for people.

I was unaware. I’m in Southern York County. That means we now have Blades and Bradshaw all within an hour drive time.
