Everybody!!!!!!!!!! A New Evh Pedal!

Re: Everybody!!!!!!!!!! A New Evh Pedal!

-For years, EVH said in interviews that he 'never wants to cash in on himself'..statements like 'I could come out with striped guitars, and sell a million, but I don't want to- I want to inspire people, not have them copy me'...
Now with all this new EVH stuff- guitars, pedals, etc...it seems to go against what he said earlier in his career...when he really could have/should have cashed in on it, like most famous guitarists do now. Now, after a bad 15 year stretch, pending divorce, no new music in sight, it *seems* a little suspect.

Maybe.

But he's not doing the Peavey thing anymore...either guitars OR amps. Maybe it's because they started building Wolfgangs in Korea & started assembling bits of amps overseas too. Regardless, it's a done deal. No more EVH/PV gear.

I'm kinda glad that he didn't license a striped out guitar back in the day. Kramer would've had two pages in the catalog with like, what...five guitars? LMAO And we all know that every kid would've bought that $300 Kramer EVH look-alike with a plywood or "select hardwood" body and wondered why it sounded like poo...

Now he's selling striped guitars, but aren't like $2600 or something? I'd be WAY more suspect if they were $260.

That's selling out.

Pedals? Ah who cares. As long as they don't suck it's kinda cool IMO. The Phase 90 & MXR Flanger are just as useful today as they were 30 years ago.

Re: Everybody!!!!!!!!!! A New Evh Pedal!

This thread fascinates me. It's really four threads in one:

• One about the forthcoming MXR flanger reissue
• One about companies capitalizing on so-called "has-beens"
• One about how wasted EVH is all the time now
• One about who invented/inspired/pioneered the tapping technique

There are probably a few sub-threads within there too. "Sammy sucks," "You're not my dad," "Icons that fart are funny."

This thread has talent. Look up, it can even do lists! (But it learned how to do that from Billy Gibbons.)

And I like this icon: :argue:
