Seems like the sort of thing dickheads like.
Are they a patch on the Dumbloid, though?

The best thing about the Dumbloid is its name, like a combination of Dumb and Mongoloid.

The best thing about it is the amount of money it makes for the guy that lazily turns them out.

That black goop on the circuit board must be expensive, it's where all of the tone comes from.

Dumbloid, he was a Dumbloid, gooping extraneously.
Dumbloid he was a Dumbloid, gooping so no one could see...

It's probably not covering a circuit board; it's a revolution in organic gel-pack technology. It's actually living tissue that is producing the tone, making it the most warm, analogue pedal ever produced.

My mistake: they're marketed as
Fret King Pedals (same fella, different sub-brand).

While the pedals certainly look a bit cac, I must say there's a certain Guild weirdness about this thing that I can't say is entirely unappealing:
Edit: £659.00 lol no thanks!

Exactly: £300 guitars sold as £700 guitars. Played one of their FirebirdMaster things, and it was OK, but weighed a fuckton, and they wanted the earth for it.

That's about how much a Japanese Mustang costs. For that much money I wish it would weight a ton.
Anyways, I'm kind of thinking that octave fuzz is also kind of cool, but expensive as well.

Actually I drew a funny picture of a guitar many years ago, called it a Fakir Mustache because it looks like "Fender Mustang". More like a Duo-Sonic II with a Bigsby arm rest. If I find it, I'll scan it and use it as my avatar.
