Title: PSA: mini roller volume and expression pedals
Post by: oldhousescott on April 28, 2015, 02:27:30 PM
Just wanted to give a heads up and nod to my buddy Curt who makes these mini, roller volume and expression pedals. I thought some of you guys might find them useful. No affiliation except friendship (no, I don't get a commission).

yep, a little pricey for my personal budget, but they look cool and sturdy!

How's the travel of the roller on those btw?

 That's clever, but isn't that the Curt aka gtrplaya101?  He posted about these a while back on TGP under that nickname.

If it's him, I'd be a bit hesitant as he doesn't have a great history of product support and he disappears at times.  Too bad because he could've been pretty successful with it.

If that is "the" Curt I would run, run far away. I wouldn't buy one with your wallet nevermind my own.  Website is so dodgy, no business location, no names of anyone involved other than the curt@classicaudiofx.com email.  Nothing on the contact us page other than the email address. Sketch city. Perfect for him to just pack up and run again when he gets in over his head.

Disclaimer: I was royally screwed by Curt in the whole EffectBlade thing, and yes I'm still pissed. Not only did I lose $200+ on the steaming pile of a "product" that was eventually produced (both of my 2 boards and chipsets have major problems and dont work), I ran a group buy on the needed parts on what he claimed was a verified project, when it turned out the programming was not even written and the board totally untested.  A lot of people sunk a lot of money into it just to get dicked around for MONTHS AND MONTHS.  If I am remembering it was like 10 months and in the end as PD mentioned he just decided he was going to take his ball and go home. Other forum members wound up volunteering to reprogram the chips for the remaining people who were left hanging. 

If its not "the" Curt then I apologize, let me know and i will delete this post, but that website screams his MO all over.
