(that I can find.) But plenty of people bashing the colour? Someone.. please... if you've actually played around with this.. give us some insight!

Granted most of my work is studio and not stage these days. I'd probably be a little reluctant to haul this out of the case on a live stage.

Believe it or not I worked for Brunswick for 9 years. I can't believe you thought of the bowling bag comment before I did. So, here's the next step...when you're using that stompbox on stage you have to wear green & red rental shoes??? Strato…

Don't they make bowling balls that look like this? The unit should come in a powder blue, leather Brunswick case just for laughs. Yikes!

It's not even retro-cool in any way. I think they're trying to go for a cross between '60s and '80s, but neither is working for them! That is disgusting. It’s not even retro-cool in any way.

The market is already flooded with them. How much different/better can this one sound than the other 145 pedals that came before it? And then there are all the amps that eliminate the need for a stomp box. My Vox Valvetronix creates an amazing array of tones, from mild overdrive to insane distortion, all by itself. Anyway, even if this pedal is good, it looks grotesque. Here’s what I don’t get: is there really room for another distortion pedal? The market is already flooded with them.
