It's like the ultimate man-cave

[@samabbottt]

they must go through 9V batteries like crazy

[@EscpdFrmPsykward]

Coolest factory tour I've seen in a while.

R.I.P November 2014

[@oxoman6648]

First song is "Don't Think Lover" by A Place To Bury Strangers". The song at 3.00 is "Missing You" by them also.

[@NachoEscamilla]

I just picked up a Supersonic Fuzz Gun. CRAP!! The character of this pedal, is fantastic! I was demoing a bunch of fuzzessezzes, and, as soon as I plugged in to your pedal.. AWAAAJHHHHH!! That said, throwing a treble boost in front is absolutely killer. I appreciate your approach. GREAT job guys!!

[@unclefoiley819]

I have one of your Fuzz War Overload. But I don't think my neighborhood likes it. I love it.

[@alvarez1284]

Pedals are AWESOME. I love the originality of the sounds like the "blue box" thats one messed up pedal that is awesome.

[@raavenstark5905]

RIP Beautiful place :(

[@urwholefamilydied]

The american dream. Love their pedals. Apocalypse is pure insanity... and Echo Dream is a dream. Very nice work boys. Congrats.

[@redrawkblue]

Ha, took me back to art school and the warehouse days. Keep it fun! Really love the Apocalypse...

[@jaimegomezdelcampo1212]

Adorables maquinas.

[@nblax41]

[@WhiskeyYouth]

what are all the songs?

[@Maletchy]

What is the first song?

[@andrewray2507]

I love these guy's pedals. They're really interesting and all very usable if you put in the work to figure them out. And if you're into the weird. But me, im down with the weirdness x) haha

[@SteveSparx]

growroom?

[@pnoplyr14]

i want the guitar.

[@MrSimondaniel3]

i admit i havent' played these pedals but this is a small company with limited sales+ unique products. You're going to pay a little more as theyre not mass produced on a scale like Boss or even a mid-size co. like Earthquaker or Keeley. The only pedal where i don't understand the price at all is the Langraf Dynamic OD, i think its $500.. but again, if you love the sound, its nice when everyone doesnt have it too. Example, i love the Phase90 and also wah pedals but these are on most pedal boards you see.

[@JuniorRossetti]

S-E-N-S-A-C-I-O-N-A-L!!!!

[@C00LBEANS101]

first song anyone please?

[@menga111]

holy fuck i want the death by audio gee-tar

[@shelton701]

5:22 dolphin!!!

[@wannabepunkrocker182]

Please start selling guitars.

[@daveydoom5479]

Nicholas Cage?!

[@freekasaur]

Boutique and quality is something you pay for. I've opened up dozens of electro harmonix pedals to find lousy soldering and bent components, and they are some of the most affordable pedals out there. Its the same way you can buy a cheap lousy budweiser or a delicious and expensive craft micro brew beer.

[@lifeanddecay]

this is the most brooklyn comment I've ever seen

[@Joey29455]

death by audio gee tar

[@ludvik199t]

Don't think lover - a place to bury strangers.

[@the-np4mr]

You know its old because he almost pulls off the combover here

[@GlasgowSkate]

that jazzmaster.

[@inusable666]

***** Jaguar, not Jazzmaster :)

[@ooo000oo00o]

+Julien_Unison_666 it seems to be a mix of the two, probably made by them or whatnot

[@guitarist5464]

i lol'd

[@Patzeppelin69]

@chrisplummer He always talks like that, I don't think that's the problem.

[@Blurillaz]

It's not so much the price that bothers me but the quality... They break very easily, and it takes a VERY long time to get your pedal repaired by them.

[@chickenluva1]

the efc are great! but they are very very very flimsy, i was playing with one and it felt like it was made of plastic

[@Anonymous-rp4hn]

zak ? They are heavy duty as hell

[@mateuszdolinski4206]

set the speed to x2 and go to 4:00 then set the speed to x0,5 and go to 5:34

[@drpenguin5410]

Was that supposed to be funny?

[@therajgreek420]

feel like pure shit just want to make a guitar pedal company with my buds in the mid 00's

[@ibanezxiphos700]

i swear ive seen this before....

[@nedgey]

These pedals sound pretty raw and up-front. These guys would have to be slamming down the Vitamin D pills in that room.

[@guitarlad24]

that noisebox thing cant be good for the amps speakers :/

[@tastedawaste1367]

🗿

[@falk3nn]

yiz encapsulate what its all about. noisey pedals made by doods who like noisey pedals >:) I like noisey pedals.

[@Patzeppelin69]

It's because they aren't a massive company that's turning out thousands of pedals using cheap parts and labor.

[@chickenluva1]

dude im serious

[@inventhead]

blaa

[@ludvik199t]

HAHAHHAH

[@Mannaminne]

that guitar was weird

[@KoalaSeven_]

666 Videos!

[@aituaitz]

ackermann's voice sounds really twangy LOL

[@Tgangster3293]

Those pedals sucked a bunch!!

[@antyplastyka]

I really like Oliver and his music but DBA pedals are gargantually overpriced!

[@rotolo]

that guy cant play guitar
