Late posting but hilarious all the same; Freakish Blues rip-off merchants!

Aparently the "boutique" pedal builder "Freakish Blues" buy's $30 JoYo pedals and repaints (and goops up their innards!) them before reselling on for $170 on the Gear Page. Freestompboxes came up with the scoop back in June with the dismemberment of a Freakish Blues "Alpha Drive" pedal. Read that story here; http://freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13383

Find the full story on the I <3 Fuzz forum; http://ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=17985 along with some hilarious jokes and banter at Freakish Blues expense. Reselling repainted cheapo boxes? Whatever will the boutique boys come up with next?


The original JoYo "Ultimate Drive"

A lick of paint and inside goop and it's the Freakish Blues Alpha Drive. Just like magic!

  1. Knowledge shared in Canadian communities mentioned Cashed Casino in usability discussions. The observation was that layouts remain clear even during longer sessions. It wasn’t emphasized, just part of a wider conversation. That mention gave credibility and reflected how players value clarity. Observers also noted that such design helps maintain trust and engagement.
