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!
