Hello Hello--

Yeah, I read about in a stompbox fever edition of Guitar Player about 10 years ago. They were even wondering if it was a legitimate effect. It looked like a production type thing to me. Someone said that it was probably a clone of a TS or a BMP.

Here is the thread I started back then: http://www.diystompboxes.com/sboxforum/viewtopic.php?t=1317&highlight=penguin

I always thought the Penguin Love Game was a one-off. I don't think even the Japanese would put a fuzz in a specially-designed box like that.
I mean, how kawaii can you get :roll:

edit..  whoops, apparently PLG is Korean. In which case, ANYTHING is possible!!

I don't think that is the same as Ansil's 'Penguin Love' pedal.

This is one of those mythical pedals - it was written about in GP magazine (mentioned above) and ever since, people have wanted to see/hear it.

Then again - I've never come across anyone who has... so I wonder if it wasn't either a one-off... or an april-fools joke.

My mistake, I always thought Ansil made those.

In the GP picture, it's in a white enclosure that's about the size of a Hammond 1590BB, with color (mostly green) graphics. It has three knobs - white, yellow and red. I'm assuming that is probably level, drive and tone. The switch is kind of weird looking, almost looks like the key off of a computer keyboard. It's hard to describe it with anymore detail than that from the tiny picture of it.

I sure would like to know more about that little pedal, just out of curiosity...

EDIT: Here's the text from GP describing it (accents are mine):

"We doubt if this Korean-crafted killer was ever a legit product, but it sure sounds good. The flip-open plastic box is covered in whimsical Asian stickers, and the footswitch was lifted from a computer keyboard(!). A very effective tone control yields scooped to boosted-mid textures with one of the heavier distortions around."

Maybe it's a BMP clone?

I think Ansil makes a Penguin Love pedal, while the Penguin Love Game pedal is an altogether different circuit with a different maker.

As for me, I just like the word penguin!

couldn't see a picture of it.

i make the penguin love pedal.  which started out from the original hatemachine into the sledgehammer into the penguin love pedal  which i derived the pedals name from the fabric that made the first actual penguin in  





http://geocities.com/cemaynard1134/sledgehammer.mp3  for the clip

this is a very old clip and the new ones sound much much better for personal opinions of the pedal you should contact.  davefx  as that was his custom pedal that the pic is of. i dont' have any new pics of that one. but i gave it to him on his way up from florida when he was moving back home and he said he loved it.

[Paul Marossy]

Cool, I love the penguin motif!
BTW, I didn't see the PLG in any of the pics in the GP online article. In the original publication, it was right next to the Ibanez TS-9...
