My personal favorite

@KirkHammett Looking forward to finding out whether your electronics knowledge and soldering skills are as good as my guitar playing.

Nothing like insulting people right off the get go.
That will drive in customers.

It's an all new mids-killing pedal. The hammet scoop.

 

[Scarified]

Just more gear for him to put his name on that he doesn't even use.

 

[Mailman1971]

He used to always seem so Humble in interviews...etc
The jackass approach doesnt work. Not just for him....but anyone.
Especially if you want them to give you money.

 

[messenger]

Haven't heard of most of those companies lol. And this added publicity will probably help his pedals sell.

 

[aizenx]

What's he releasing? 16 wahs and a tube screamer?

If they sound anything like this "actual" guitar player "actually" plays, I'll pass.

I still think he is humble (he admits that a lot of guitarists think he sucks, while mostly young kids think he is great Also knows he's a very lucky guy) but he clearly doesn't understand this market. Most pedal builders build them because they - wait for it...play them!

Lol. I'm sure at least a different wah for each day of the week.

I'd love to see Kirk or James do a nice gear tour like on Premier guitar like steve vai, satch, yngwie, petrucci, etc. I saw some sort of gear tour but it was their techs.

 

[ElectricVoodoo]

I would've responded by asking who the guitarist is??

 

[hammered]

Let's be honest Kirk could have tweeted out something somewhat positive and he would still be getting bashed for his line of pedals and for being the luckiest guitar player and for always using the wha ect..

 

[Mailman1971]

Of course......but coming out the starting gate Sour Grapes.....
Better of he didnt speak and just toss his products out there.

 

[shreder75]

Probably a pitch shifter that makes his one blues lick sound like it's in different places on the neck without ever having to move your hand.

 

[sleewell2]

don't they use axe fx in the studio and live?

all this sig gear he is coming out with that he doesn't even use is pretty clever. I am sure people will buy it and be none the wiser and good for them.

but saying he is the first guitar player to build pedals is pretty lame. and yeah we all need more tubescreamers, there really aren't any of those out there.

Hey... it seems to be working for Trump.

Isn't that Tony guy from Salvation Mods designing/building these things? What the heck is he talking about?

His ODs coming are based on the TS design ?

 

[sleewell2]

that's what I read, I could be wrong though.

he titled one the "ghoul screamer" so I am thinking that one is for sure.

I saw that one and thought the same thing due to the name but that pedal had a few too many bells whistles for. The other two had the basic bass,treb,vol and gain pots. But I'm in the minority as really I like different takes on TS type pedals
