10 thumbed tone deaf no talent noise polluters

I know we make a lot of sometimes hellishly noisy kit, but if you make "white power electronics" or similar laughably tragic right wing bullshit then please feel free to just fuck off and grow up. We really don't need or want your money.
Spend 20 minutes trying to figure out why the pedal you're working on has stopped working, only to discover that what you thought was one guitar lead on the floor is in fact two absolutely identical leads, and you've plugged one into the pedal and the other lead into your guitar. 🤔

The popular LTspice circuit simulation software was first released in 1999. which is odd because even 26 years later it still has a user interface that feels like it was designed in 1989. Its just painful.
Why do we have to put up with this shit? See the Eagle PCB design software for more details..

Praise Jesus and all his little wizards! Our etsy shop now has built in pricing for US customers so you pay tariffs at the checkout. In theory you won't pay any extra import fees to US customs.
We're so excited by this we thought we'd post it before the US is even awake!

That moment you discover that the foam shock mounting for the spring line in your ancient analogue reverb & delay, has somehow morphed into some kind of rock hard sticky concrete biscuit substance and sandblasted itself into all the pots and jack sockets.

I don't know if whoever installed this TR505 backlight did something weird, but i'm not 100% sure about it. In the dark i guess its effective, but otherwise in some cases the odd viewing angle actually makes it a bit more difficult to see, and the random honeycomb effect is a bit strange.

If you're going to use the word Monologue spelled like that, then surely you also have to use 'analogue' as well. Either that or Monolog and analog.

An acquaintance of mine runs a farm workshop where they had some massive piece of machinery built in the 90's that had just died due to a relay PCB being destroyed by water ingress. Official replacements are impossible to buy so tens of thousands worth of machinery was literally just scrap metal.

Weird how people don't have the same high regard for Jomox as they do for Elektron. I'm wondering if it's because Jomox operating systems appear to be specifically designed to be absolutely incomprehensible to anyone who has ever used a musical instrument before... 🤔

Gasp in wonder as i resist the urge to incredulously post a link to an ebay listing for a £260 "very rare" Korg Kaoss Pad KP2 with the laughable description "Impossibly rare in the UK. These units are mostly found in Japan only now"...

Just sorting through some ancient Akai disks and came across this gem. Sadly I suspect it was reused to save some samples in an emergency.

How exciting, an email from a Mr Aslam Patel who is "part of the team representing Owais Raza Qadri, one of the worlds most prominent & respected vocalists. He has been formally recognised among The 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World"!
Apparently he needs a "custom advanced DSP effects unit"

Welcoming back that warm glow of despair only to be found when opening an embodiment of cheapness like a TR505, to discover that some audio forum user has replaced all the perfectly fine electrolytic capacitors with expensive 'audio grade' caps, as if it'd make any difference whatsoever.
