Tobiasthegiant Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Was surfing through the interwebs and saw this http://www.humangear.net/productdetails-en/category/human-gear-effects/article/human-gear-animato.html Now I thought that the animato was a Japanese pedal, but this is based in germany. Did they start to reissue them? Is this page real? Cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Yeah - I've seen this discussed before. He buys them and sells them on and is allowed to use the name if I recall correctly. The Japanese stores won't ship internationally so he buys the stuff in person and then sells them on. If you google 'Human Gear Effects Germany' or similar you'll likely find discussion over it. Should be perfectly legit. Shep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I can't understand why anyone would pay so much for something that, judging from demo videos at least, seems to sound like a fart in a tin can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one of those clones recently - it's okay for the money (I paid around £46.00 including shipping IIRC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [size=4]Probably for 2 reasons why it's so expensive. 1, it's discontinued, and 2, it is used by Chris Wolstenholme.

Wil Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I can see the sound working in a band mix, sure, but so would many other similar and far, far cheaper dirtboxes, and I doubt many people would be able to tell the difference. Each to their own, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
