Pedal Names? Are some things off limits?

[nomad100]

It would have to be far a worse name than voodoo, to bother me.

I taped over the logo on my Budda Wah. It wasn't offensive to me, but I play at church so I can lift up the name of Jesus. Why would I have a logo on my pedalboard with the name of a false God?

I would buy pedals with dodgy names, but I'd tape over them. I do have a Voodoo Lab power supply, and I have a pedal sitting on top of it, so you can't read it.

As an aside, I knew someone who wouldn't order a menu item called the "Voodoo Dippin' Cauldron". Her loss...I didn't mind consuming what was in effect the most delicious dip ever conceived by man (think cheesy, artichoke-y goodness) on top of great cornbread.

There's a chain here in NZ called Hell Pizza. I'm not impressed at their name and branding, but it's the best darn fast food pizza in the country, what am I supposed to do? it's sooo good!

Interestingly, there is also a Heaven's Pizza - and it's very average.

Technically he was a spiritual teacher not a God. It can also be a drug reference. Your point still valid

I play a Weeping Demon wah - I bought it because I think it best fit my needs. I felt a little funny about it until my pastor pointed out that Jesus made the demons weep. So there.

I did see a very nice guitar in a shop once - considered it until a closer look revealed that the fret inlays were all naked women. Still a very pretty guitar but totally inappropriate for church.

James some "christian" person might be deeply offended and loose their faith.
It's really all phycological and a matter of perspective! Just like art taught at a christian school where you can't use nude references material. it's an important tool for understanding how to draw the human form, but taboo

A badly named pedal no more makes the device off limits than calling a pedal the "Jesus Lovin' Satan Stomper" would make something a mandatory purchase. The idea of a bit of tape is good. Every pedal board needs a bit of duct tape anyway.

if this forum had a like button i'd have clicked it on the every pedal needs some tape!

Three pedals? Rename them Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Ten? The commandments. Twelve? After the apostles. 66? Genesis, Exodus,...

This idea is sponsored (not really) by duct tape and Sharpie markers.
