Football is rubbish.
yes, I think it'd be fun to do a "tumnus deluxe" with a ton of different knobs and switches. We'll see though... I want to do some other non-dirt type stuff for a little bit first
Also, nope, I won't be doing a "Devi" clone. I wouldn't have done a Klone thing at all if we didn't get so many requests for it. Being a business, I simply *have* to listen to my customers. To not do so would be foolish.
Out of interest when you are asked to do a circuit like this, is it less interesting for you than say building and marketing a pedal you have designed from the ground up. Or does releasing a popular pedal strike up a certain amount of pride regardless?
I often wondered that about the soul food, massive selling pedal but really its someone else's modified design. Yet ehx really are known (by and large) for innovation and that pedal, huge seller though it is, is a loose klone and really goes against the innovative reputation.
That's a really great question! This may sound silly, but to me the most satisfying part is when players simply tell us that they they get some form of enjoyment out of what we do, if the pedals we put out help them enjoy playing a bit more in some way. From an engineering perspective, yes I probably do enjoy it more when it's something that was designed from the ground up (so to speak), but what drives me is just when people get enjoyment out of the pedal we put out into the world. Sometimes that is something that's derived from an existing circuit (for example - I've had a ton of people ask for a big muff clone as well), but I love it just a little more when they like something that's unique (such as our "Velvet Fuzz"). Great question, I hadn't really thought about it that much before
As a 2nd rate musician the absolute Highlight of my "career" was going to the Beautiful days festival in the UK in 2005 or 6.. Between acts they put on my then bands record and pockets of people were singing along.
That was so awesome... but most of my time it's been cover bands for me. It's still cool when people dance and sing along but it just lacks that little bit of extra magic.
But really it's what makes me perform seeing people have a good time because of my playing..
