Guitar Center
This morning I received an Email that has me a little disturbed... It
seems that Guitar Center is dissuading their clientele from buying Pro
Tone Pedals because they
A: had never heard of Pro Tone Pedals
B: no big name artists use them
So I want to take a minute and set a few things straight...
A: If you've never heard of Pro Tone Pedals before thats OK- we invite you to read the review of the Body Rot II in the July 2008 issue of Guitar Player Magazine. They had some extremely nice things to say...
B: Big name artists... I'll let the guys in Velvet fucking Revolver know that they aren't a big enough name for Guitar Center. How about HellYeah? No, not big enough for Guitar Center... Ministry... not for Guitar Center.
Now here's the angle that makes their comments even more frustrating... Guitar Center home office buyers pushed HARD to get Pro Tone Pedals on their shelves! The bass buyer and the accessory buyer are both huge fans of Paul Raven and Killing Joke. When we released the Raven- they got all wet for it! We refused their offers. Its just that simple.
As you all know Guitar Center is nothing more than Walmart for musicians... You wouldnt go to Walmart for a Rolex, would you? No... you go to Walmart for items made by 12 year old slave laborers in 3rd world countries.
