Oh......my.....

Yeah I read about her over at TGP.

Aha, most excellent! Nice to see something different than cowboy boots and comments that go "OMG ^&@# it's Jack Black!!1!". I'm not convinced (yet) on her hotness factor, but she plays it nice :mrgreen:

Yeah I read about her over at TGP.

Yep..just a matter of time before she got mentioned over here.

Oh yeah, she's hot, alright. The fact that she understands the nuances of fuzz makes it all the better.

Has anybody seen pictures of her?

Nice nice.

move over jack black! ... er.... whatever! now we have hot gears and a hot chick :D

I was really hoping we would be saved from this crap. I saw it at TGP, definitely can't say I'm a fan.

She's obviously just copying gearmandude's format, so I don't think she'll be doing this too much longer unless she finds her own schtick.

Hasn't anyone else noticed that they use a girl's voice, but when you see the feet and hands adjusting the pedals they are a man's limbs?

I think it's just some dude pulling everyone's leg.

Lighten up Francis....what's wrong with some damn fine curves mixed with gear ?

Yup...definitely tacky and a sell out. Too bad some people need to lower the bar to get attention.

A sell out? What exactly is she supposed to be selling out? "Man, she used to be credible when she worked in an office - but now she's doing these video reviews she's gone commercial" Sheesh!

She's doing reviews - which are reasonably informative - and showing a bit of bod, which is reasonably hot.

What's not to like? I'd rather watch her than some hairy arsed wannabe shredder waffling over half the review and showcasing their "chops" for the rest of it.

We are certainly seeing a bunch of choir boys and shrewds around this place...:roll: Let's see, why did 99% of us pick up a guitar in the first place ???

That being said, how appropriate is the placing of the BMP?

Well aren't you just special then ?

Again I ask. Has anybody seen a picture of her? I mean everybody saying how "hot" she is and after looking at the Guitarsquid article as well as her YouTube page it could be anybody's body.

Wait. Anybody with a body?

No. A body that could be anybody's?

I give up.

I enjoy her videos. Yup - I'm a fan.

Appears that a lot of folks are ---- the TRUTH must be faced:
It's a gimmick, it's cheesey, it appeals to and/or mocks a cheap/simple-minded sexism, it's sort of cute in a disingenuous way, AND (wait for it)------ it works. Because of the buzz-buzz, I checked out all her Youtube stuff and, quelle horreur, it's as shocking as I Dream of Genie , innit?

She and the products are getting attention and she's selling merch. It's showbiz. What would anyone want/expect beyond expect beyond that?

If it was a guy with the same chops,...no one would notice.

And imagine if she is a he....:neutral:

She sounds like Jack Black...

She sounds like Jack Black...

:lol::lol::lol:

I love the picture on the page.
Anybody else notice that the switches were in the "on" position??
Must have been cold in the studio.

She sounds like Jack Black...

Well there is precedent...

I think it's cheap and gimmicky. If it was a dude no one would notice, at all.

In no way am I a prude, and I can certainly appreciate an attractive lady in the music industry... But seriously guys? All we're seeing is limbs and appendages here, I just see no use in getting all riled up over some heels and a voice. Y'all are acting like a bunch of little boys.

And let's be honest, she's really not that great at guitar.

FWIW shes probably a total SIF anyways.

And to everyone else arguing over why they picked up a guitar, if you picked it up for any other reason than wanting to make music for yourself, that's just sad, and I feel sorry for you.

You win 9642790643808 internets for this. Lol.

JohnK24... you don't sound like a very nice person


Hey this was the first time I used quotes! Very cool.

I took up guitar to get girls, no doubt. And it worked, too.

Save your pity, it's wasted on me.

Unfortunately when dealing with fuzz boxes and You Tube audio, they eventually tend to sound the same but we all know that.

I have to say that I am glad that there is a female getting involved in something that is so male dominated. I could do without the provocative photos. Not becuase I'm a prude but becuase it just isn't really necessary and kind of insulting to other women involved in the music business.

Personally I would rather watch Brett Kingman. At least he takes the process seriously and with an analytical approach. And I have to say he and Andy at PGS have way better chops.

I'm SO embarrassed....:roll: Maybe your fragile feelings should find a good emo site to read and post on....

Seriously, it's T&A and rock n roll....what don't you understand about that ? Apparently you've not played in bars with a real live audience.

She's really not that great at guitar - but you know what, shes ok at reviewing pedals - which is handy, cos that's what she's doing.

And if you didn't take up music at least in part to get laid I can only assume you play jazz. ;-)

Personally, I think it's Eric's wife. :wink:

She's not a great player..... but after all, some of this is SHOW BUSINESS you know.

I never watch the gear demos. They're usually boring to me. At least hers was sort of kitchy. But, like all of them, I turned it off after just a little while.

Besides, I know me well enough, that when i get a new pedal, most of the time i end up setting it to get the two or three basic sounds that I like to use. Its probably not going to end up sound all that much different from the 45 other pedals I have to do more or less the same thing.

I see her getting a lot of attention from the creepy old guy demographic....look at that body, she's so talented.

Mang, I think some o' youse kids would've gone NUTS if you'd've been around to see the old Dean ads!:lol:

As far as the merch goes, I like *that* T-shirt.

yeah I saw that on TGP. Its ok. I subscribed to her.

Seems like a lot of fuzz over sweet lil nothin' to me ;)

It's nearly great fun, but its a bit too contrived, over-calculated and 'obvious'. IMO

Male or female i think her tones are a little bit uninspiring, i think it has something to do with her micing technics and skills

nothing personal here.

i'll stick with andy at PGS and Phil X at frettedamericana

Is it good stuf? or more of the same?

Is it good stuf? or more of the same?

More of the same except she makes cocktails, wears heels and occasionally takes pictures of herself naked with pedals strategically covering her bits.
Personally I think it's rubbish but the business model seems to be working, look at all the attention she's gotten herself already.

I checked out the OP's link and I couldn't get through more than 1 minute of the gal's video. It just bored me to death. Not sexy enough to be intriguing, and not informative enough to be interesting. Just 'meh' on both levels.

JMHO.

Guess i am old fashioned at 55 but i want to see her play....with or without clothes. Not showing her playing a guitar to me is a turn off.

Ok. I have read from the posts that some guys think she is hot but nobody has ever seen a photo of what she looks like. The provocative photos could be anybody. For all anybody knows the person doing the demos could be a transvestite.

52 posts here so far, and a lot of talk at TGP, from what I hear. I'd say it's working.

I was really hoping we would be saved from this crap. I saw it at TGP, definitely can't say I'm a fan.

My thoughts exactly. I didn't watch the video, just looked at the pictures on the linked page, and anyone who feels they need to resort to a gimmick like that is clearly a shameless attention whore. What is even more upsetting is people falling for crap like this, "Oh hur hur she's hot. YEAH!" C'mon guys, there's nothing at all remarkable about someone taking their clothes off and covering their private parts with fuzz boxes. It's retarded. Have a little integrity.

I dont think I would go that far...

It is what it is guys, she is OBVIOUSLY not as good as a player as Gearmandude or Burgerman. BUT at the same time if you are a male and ATTRACTED to the female species you cannot say that a sexy woman covering up the fuzzbox with a fuzzbox is not sexy. I am not gonna subscribe or watch all of her demo's, but good on her for having an idea and going with it.

I can't only see more of this in the future. It's the invisible hand, at work.

Boy , some of you guys have no taste for the tease, or any kind of fun. Why so serious about a lady doing fuzz demos? She's not trying to save the world, here. Maybe elsewhere, how the hell should I know. I've been turned on to a few cool fuzzes and the sound quality is decent.

Wouldn't be the first time ive made that mistake ;-)

Wouldn't be the first time ive made that mistake ;-)

That's the spirit! Now where's my 50 quid?:lol:

i'm not as stoked as a lot of you guys are about effects...i've watched some demos, maybe around 40(?), including some of hers. she's the only one i've seen that goes thru the whole pedal...knobs maxed out, switches switched, guitar volumes rolled back, never cares about feedback from gain, and she does riffs, good or bad, they're still riffs..she doesn't find a favorite sound and play leads. i'm happy when someone finds their sound, but i'd rather hear more of the pedal...i saw a demo of the gfs dual green thing and the kid never touched the knobs! and a bunch of you thanked the kid...check out the pgs demo for the double muff. was that as thorough as any of this chick's demos? i say more power to her, and she's funny,too....no, she's not my daughter :cool:

I dont think I would go that far...

I remember those, heavy duty fuzz as I recall. I also remember an '80s girl band called Fuzz Box. Their one song went something like I got a fuzz box, I know how to use it :roll:. Ahh memory lane

I watched the video, most of it. Truth is unless a pedal just knocks me out I almost never watch the whole thing. Time will tell how long her 15 minutes last

Personally, I think it's Eric's wife. :wink:

:shock:

Mrs. Whorton???

Where's the white coily cable of love???

She talks the talk when she reviews vintage pedals...she knows stuff.

It's gimmick heavy. Gearmanndude has some unique style but the demos drive the videos. I get bored if something becomes one big gimmick.

She just killed her whole act right there...

Yeah, I'm not sure if that "69" joke made me want to laugh or punch myself in the face. From my reaction I guess she nailed it.

She needs to learn to play the guitar a little better.

I think FBG's demos are fun and informative. I'm a fan.

I don't understand all the judgmental comments....anyone who has a "...a white coily cable of awsomeness..." plays guitar and serves cocktails is ok with me.

It's the quasi naked pictures (which, as it's been pointed out, might not be her). It's a super tacky ploy to take advantage of a very male orientated market, some view her whole persona as sexist.

It's her body, her gender and her business. I couldn't care less what she does I only wish people wouldn't buy into it so easily, it's a little lame.

Sexualised representations of women aren't sexist per se - its contextual. If women are presented, or present themselves, as purely sexual objects without other definition or merit you could argue it is sexist - but this is a chick who is holding her own in what is a male dominated genre and at the same time using her sexuality to get a few more hits. Being sexy isn't sexist.

I would argue that a woman is quite capable of being sexy without getting her breasts out and cracking bad sex jokes, it's a sad day when innuendo is used like a sledge hammer. I just wish she had a bit of class is all.
Also I would say that her sexual image is pretty much the sole reason why anybody noticed her in the first place, not because she is both a woman and a decent gear reviewer. I would also say that the reaction on TGP is exactly why most women don't do gear reviews, they automatically come under 10x the scrutiny that a man would, mostly by idiots. Nobody really wants to deal with that.

:shock:

We now have a full blown conspiracy. Wait.....that's a Bullet cable! :shock::!:

Ask if she has an owl strap.

I'm not a fuzz guy. I play the intro to American Woman and then I get lost.

Having watched some of most of her "reviews" today(sorry, I couldn't it through even one), I have to agree with the mighty Twangasaurus. Her act is about as subtle as a nail bomb in a nursery school. The only bright spot is I found a link to a cool MK1 Tone Bender clone. I e-mailed the builder I hope to hear back.

Almost forgot, until very recently I thought it would be cool to own a Fire Bird

I watched a few last night. About as subtle as a sledge hammer. But I liked her on Facebook anyway. I must say though, anybody else notice she has masculine hands?

BUT at the same time if you are a male and ATTRACTED to the female species you cannot say that a sexy woman covering up the fuzzbox with a fuzzbox is not sexy.

I am certainly a male attracted to females and females only, but that's not very attractive to me. It's kinda' tacky and tasteless. She'd probably be more attractive and intriguing to me if she behaved like a normal girl. But, to each his own. Who am I to criticize what people get off to?

Anyway, I watched a bit of the vid, and she's not a very good player or demo-er (to me). I'm not going to go all elitist on her for that, but what I'm getting at is there is no substance to any of this. All that is there is the stupid gimmick, which, as I said, is a shameless and dumb way to get attention.

She's no Andy.

She's no Andy.

She definitely can't point the way andy can, that's for sure.

She's no Andy.

Not sure I'd want to see Andy dressed only in fuzz boxes.

Especially not if he was reviewing the Way Huge Pork Loin

How do you know its not Andy?:shock: Notice you haven't been seeing his feet lately in those PGS demos?:eek:

What she should do is have different pairs of hands turning the knobs. First a white female, then an African-American male's hand, a hand in a Gorilla paw, a hand missing fingers, a hand in a glove from a suit of armor, ect. Then I would watch.

Oh. Putting Skittles into perfectly good booze is sacrilegious. She probably puts ketchup on Filet Minion.:cry:

anybody else notice she has masculine hands?

Yeah I noticed the man hands and the big feet. Has anybody seen "her" throat? Just curious if she has a large Adam's Apple

... anyone who feels they need to resort to a gimmick like that is clearly a shameless attention whore. .

But what is Youtube if not a haven for shameless attention whores?

If some guys think she's sexy without seeing what she looks like, she's doing a good job of creating the illusion, which is I think exactly what she's trying to do. It's show business! So what if she's really hot or not, she's creating attention with the mystery.

I just think she needs to play and sound a little better for her demos to be worthwhile. Not to say demos need awesome chops, just better than that.

Maybe I should demand a refund from Youtube. Oh, wait...

I find it annoying that she is doing the same stupid thing where she stands off-camera....JUST like Gearmandude.

That's so annoying. If you're dog ugly, just play the guitar and stop trying to play up some trumped-up sexual angle.

Geez...

Classy is over rated. In what way is this less classy than a bloke calling the pedal Big Muff in the first place? Shes just actualising the sexist sales gimmick - more power to her I say.

she needs to improve the lighting, and perhaps sound quality. Making videos is hard work.

I've never seen most of the guy's crotch in his ads. He had more class. People really cross a bad line when they display their own crotch in ad campaign.

Alright, she lost me there. "Fine line between..." Spinal Tap
That's just old and stale. Wouldn't be the first time I woke up, looked at what I did last night, and silently let myself out.

Yeah I noticed the man hands and the big feet. Has anybody seen "her" throat? Just curious if she has a large Adam's Apple

'She had man hands'
"Man hands?"
'The hands of a man'

:mrgreen:

She sounds just like Karen Black! :razz:

How is it a sales pitch? She's not selling pedals or working for anyone, is she?

It seems like she's just someone who wants to make gear videos. So what? She can do whatever she wants as far as I'm concerned.

Look at the mess of shadows on near her hand area. It's a pretty terrible photoshop job.

EDIT: I am also going to say that her "signature ring" looks tacked on as well.

5 days and people here are still talking about her, or him, or it, or whatever. For all the "disgust" on this board, it sure is generating a lot of chatter. You know, some people say any publicity is good publicity. Maybe the best thing to do is just "Move along, nothing to see here...."

Well, for that matter everybody knows Gearmanndude wears those boots so you won't see his delicate little lady feet. Jeezus, you people.

dude, she's only got 4 fingers on her right hand.

I love how most of you repeated the "crotch shot" from studio 1087 post.

Hermaphrodites- the world is full of em. Move over lady gaga, we've found one who can (kinda) play guitar...

Oh, and 100th post.

Because I enjoyed music and wanted to make my own. I think if you did it for any other reason, then it's not the right reason. (IMO)

I picked one up cuz I thought Mark Knopfler was mean as. My first guitar was a red squier strat (as you can imagine) and then I discovered distortion.


This post is completely irrelevant.

i like that she demo'd the feedbacker/distortion pedal!
