The Fart Pedal is loaded with high quality bespoke fart sound effects created by an award-winning sound design company based out of Chicago.

Of course it is.

This reminds me of the Steve interview in Big Brother Skateboard Magazine where the interviewer asked Steve the best way to mic a fart. IIRC, Steve gave an earnest answer.

This pedal is of course, CRAP

The power source underneath my guitar pedalboard is an MXR MC-403. With some of its power outputs, the voltage can be adjusted. A couple of them can go down to 6.5VDC to produce a kind of "dying battery" effect if used with dirt boxes. Have yet to try this setting out, but have always imagined that, if used with certain pedals, it'd yield something in the vicinity of the "Let's Build a Car" tone, which has its applications.

Anyway, with this thing I was expecting something similar, though maybe even more stretched out, to the point that the "tone" would barely sound like a guitar but would still make some kind of amusing, moribund noise akin to tonal death rattle. "Borken," if you will. That's why the triggering of samples comes off as weak.

Absolutely, it's the difference between a potentially interesting pedal and a whoopee cushion.

…bespoke fart sound effects...

Should anyone be content to accept run-of-the-fart-mill production library fart samples in their special fart trigger pedal? Is that what cuts the mustard in the novelty pedal market?

You guys are getting a little too worked up about something that was thought up by a non-musician (who I believe is also Chicago based and has some connections to the Lets Get Out Of This Terrible Sandwich Shop/French Goodbye crew) as a goof.

If it was truly bespoke, they’d be able to take my own fart samples and allow selective recall from a fart menu:

- Sack of White Castle Sliders
- Bowl of spicy lentil soup
- Half-box of Cheez-Its
- Texas BBQ overindulgence
- Supper Club Norovirus infection
Etc…

The bassist in Korn has always sounded like he's playing through a fart pedal, but I think he gets this by just tuning down and not being able to actually play. So for you purists looking to dial in something more musical than sampled farts, you may wish to recalibrate your jorts.

Jesus, cabbage didn’t make the list? Probably spots 1 and 2 on mine.

"I didn't fart, that's not even one of my farts! I've got 4 farts, and that's not one of mine! I'm got my Heineken's Fart, I've got my Broccoli Fart, got my Rice Pudding Fart, and my Non-Dairy Creamer Fart!" - George Carlin

Cabbage does nothing for me. Your bespoke pedal sounds like it needs a 'Slaw' and 'Beef Borscht' setting.

White Castle is definitely a Melt/Slay nose-hair curling setting for me.
