ordered one! now I get to stack my Honey Bee with another Honey Bee!

The pic of Bjorn under the Gateway Arch in St. Louis is priceless, but those unfamiliar with St. Louis landmarks may think that he is under the McDonald's Golden Arches! :laughing7

Donner I have to agree with most people that the website is a bit too much- too much flash. It's not an easy navigating experience!

During a class I took on web design years ago, the instructor pointed to what were then the most popular web pages in the USA- Google and Craigslist

He asked what we noticed about the design- the answer: simplicity

He said that we should avoid the rookie mistake of overloading web pages with Flash and fancy doodads and make it easy for people to get around on the page

I know that on my I pad, web pages with flash are a pain in the :censored

So I hope Bearfoot's page undergoes a major revamping

But I commend you and Bjorn for launching this initiative, and hope to see more tasty :pedallove under those Golden, whoops, Gateway Arches! :thumbup:

Bobby D, I have a Bearfoot on the way and a HBOD in da house!

If you haven't got one already, why don;t you cross the Broward county line into the Republic of Miami-Dade and do a comparison video?

What would be really cool would be a blind shootout, to let people guess which pedal is which! :confusedq

What exciting news for all of us! I cannot wait to try out the line and so much more affordable. I was beginning to think about applying for a home equity loan with all of the great pedals that have been coming up recently!

This is very exciting! Donner, are you the only one making BearFoot pedals? Once word gets around and videos shot there will be a wave of fear among other builders. :laughing7

I thought the website was clever! But, a simple site that gives good info is the Tungsten Amps and Strymon sites. Little to no flash which may be increasingly more important as many move to iPad like objects and other hand held/battery powered devices.

What will be important is a video and sound clips page!! Just like the CB Mad Professors everyone will want to know how they measure up, so a few professional clips of each pedal will go a long way to selling pedals to current users and especially current droolers.
