Reliced pedals?  Guitars were bad enough, but this is just ridiculous.

Pah. I did that a decade or so ago. Mostly because I was spraying in a dusty loft.

Maybe I should take some of my B-stock pedals, scratch them up and sell them for a higher price! "Reliced series"

It makes it look like you actually really use them for more than gently stepping on them with slippered feet in the bedroom. 

The same way a relic guitar makes you look like you're cooler than the kind of person who looks after their expensive guitar. 

I don't get the whole thing. I have more trouble keeping nitro finishes intact, I'd never bother buying a relic!

Dear God!

I've lost all hope for the continuation of the human race.

I prefer to hang onto my kit long enough to look worn naturally. My Les Paul is looking that way nowadays particularly its neck (back of)

It'll be half-eaten pizzas from Dominos next....

Everybody I know who's tried one has said that they actually feel like an old worn pedal under the foot. And the capacitors can breathe, which make them sound more open.

....the capacitors can breathe?

I get the relic guitar thing, even if I don't agree with it (I try and look after my guitars, and any dings or scrapes are time-earned).  I guess it's worthwhile if you want the look of a beat-up guitar on stage without needing to get a secondhand guitar, it's part of your public image.  But who's looking at a pedalboard on stage other than yourself?

That's not as bad as I thought. Pedals got to have some kind of design so why not a banged up one? I assumed it would be some service you send your boss pedal to and they sand it off...

Nice looking enclosure, ugly relicing, one way to avoid having B-stock I guess.
