    I agree with it ... there are plenty of female guitarists around who don't need companies promoting sexist crap. It's like page 3 of the Sun. So 1970s .... no place for it these days.

    No. But you can use the Viagra Pedals Inc. Hard Cock Juice .... puts lead in your pedals for an orgasmic tone ...

    Good job there isn't a Big Muff pedal or a super hard on

    Some people need to lighten up. This reminds me of the people who thought Alf Garnett was promoting racsim etc. He wasn't, he was taking the piss out of it. It's suggesting that we should take Spinal Tap seriously. If it's aimed at someone who's not like you, laugh at it/them, don't get so uptight. Very few of us really think that wimmin are just sex objects and products like this aren't going to significantly affect anyone who does (or even doesn't).
    "Working" software has only unobserved bugs. (Parroty Error: Pieces of Nine! Pieces of Nine!)
    Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

    But a Muff is a tube made of fur or other warm material into which the hands are placed for warmth.

    It's a parody band, and it fits in with their running joke...

    The name Pussy Melter is pretty tame compared to some of Steel Panther's songs.  I really hope Jessica Fennelly doesn't watch any of Steel Panther's live gigs on Youtube or she'll have a melt down herself!

    I think she has a problem with a manufacturer like TC promoting a Toneprint with what she thinks is an offensive name to many female guitarist some who maybe young girls. I doubt she has a problem with Steel Panther - it's a band she can avoid. It's like going to the BBC website and seeing porn - you may want to ban porn from the BBC website, but that doesn't mean you want to ban porn from the web.

    Or it's just cynical self promotion and twitter fodder. For myself, TC are owned by Uli Beringer so I'd not likely buy anything from them anyway.

    It’s clearly taking the piss out of the traditional lead guitarist arrogance. 

    They should have followed it up with a bass pedal called

    ”No nookie for you, you’re the fucking bass player”

    The original complaint stems from the write-up rather than the name itself. Hard to disagree imo...

    Seriously? She should get a fucking life. So should the gays that moan about someone calling something gay as a mild term of semi endeared piss taking.

    and that’s from me, a master of blowing the pink fucking oboe.
