I always felt that the reviews there did not give a realistic impression. I mean if I was about to buy something and gave a darn about the 123 different opinions on that product....well then... I hadn't bought my Les Paul, nor my mid 70's Strat, the OCD is of course the most synthetic sounding overdrive and so blah and so blah on...too much unqualified reviews, sorry, that's only my 0.2 cents.

If I read a review on this forum here, I have most of the time heard a clip of the member, knwo whcih music he likes, what kind of a player he is and so on, so the reviews here give me a way more realistic impression, plus I know that I do not face product dissing here. How obvious were some of the HC reviews? Gibson haters, Fender haters, predjudices were spread, quality review died there.
