Well, if it gets them a rabidly loyal fan base, I wouldn't exactly call them "amateurs". More like "masters"... But from what I've heard and seen, Electrix makes the best damn hardware you can buy. I know a great many people who are *still* jumping up and down over the Filter Factory. There are really VERY few companies that produce things this interesting; usually, when I buy some gear, I'm bored with it inside of a week... a month at the outside. And when I see people dancing around and turning backflips over something YEARS after they got it, the only thing I can compare that to is my Strat. I love my Strat. You can have my Strat when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. And I have NEVER seen a company that produces *effects* inspire that kind of excitement. Not that I've ever actually *used* Electrix products. I can't give it my personal thumbs-up and say "these products kick ass", but I see the way other musicians are bouncing around like crazy people and... well, they've got SOMETHING over there. Maybe it's just some kind of happy radiation that comes off their custom ICs. ;)
