WBM is great for finding old docs, too. Unless the vendor had everything gated behind a login back then. Happened with an old guitarpcb(?) board I've still got: that old rev of the board was never publicly crawlable. Thankfully I emailed them and they had it sitting on an old Syquest drive somewhere. (I kid, but it was old af, it seems.)

Personally, with AI bot crawling ignoring robots.txt, I fully support folks like Bean, Effects Layouts, Aion, and Robert obfuscating things like that behind s smoke login. It's not like Brian is selling us out to Skynet or anything. FSB arn DIYSB are there now for some threads/forum categories.

Sad to go back and see a lot of names that have dropped out of pedal sites.

And sad to see the sites that have also dropped out of existence. Sometimes you can find them on the way back machine, but they're usually just shells of thier former glory. I think around 2010-2016 were the glory years for guitar pedal sites. And Andy Martin was with ProGuitar shop back then too. PedalArea was a good one:

Heres mine....
How would you approach that?!

"I would be interested in a pedal featuring:

My first question would be:  what possible situation did this individual find themselves in where this pedal idea was the solution?
"you know it would be great if I could take the sound system of an aircraft carrier and run it through 30 phasers into a vintage Cray 1 computer and then output half of that into an old artari 2600 and the other half into Yankee stadium's P/A, while also having a tuner out for my sitar."

I had to reply and say I suggest he buys a GigRig G3, and even that might not do everything required (!)

That was before GigRig days. That would have made things easier for me. He could have bought one for what he paid me. Seems like I charged him something like $750, about 12 years ago. I wouldn't have paid it, I'll tell you that.
