Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Man, that look of contempt when the other guy comes in to assess it. "Stompbox?!?!"
hey guys pedlz sux
The best part is when he says the Grunge is a hundred dollar pedal.
"I'd like to use the money to go on vacation to Europe come this fall"
This is hilarious.
edit - I thought this guy was just such a scammer, but Cobain actually did play one of these, one time.
Here's an excerpt from American Pedals:
"Among notable "grunge" artists, only Kurt Cobain of Nirvana "used" a Grunge pedal, at MTV's "Live and Loud" broadcast (Dec. 13, 1993, Pier 48, Seattle). However, it was a "complete joke", with Kurt subsequently throwing it into the crowd on some accounts. Kurt never used the FX69 live or in the studio, instead favoring Boss DS-1 and DS-2 distortion pedals. Despite the lack of a strong connection to "grunge" music, a DOD FX69 Grunge pedal resides in a display case in the "Northwest Passage" wing of the Experience Music Project in Seattle, just down the hall fromMudhoney's eponymous Superfuzz and Big Muff pedals."

Maybe it's legit then.
In 1997, I used a Grunge pedal at my first show playing for my middle school. We were in 8th grade, a Green Day/Nirvana wanna be rip off band, we sucked but had originals! Goddam, that pedal is a strange nightmare looking back. Actually, it was my out of tune power chords that was the true retrospective hellscape.
this show is unbelievably fake. a friend went to vegas to visit the store and she said everyone is a hired actor with planted items to sell, not knowing what the item is 90% of the time.
the only real people are the ones walking around browsing in the background, which are just random people who came to check out the shop
I'm cross posting from a post up the list, but I don't see a grunge in this diagram. https://www.guitar.com/rigs
