Just a thought, but witht he rising number of demo makers both amateur and pro.... Wouldn't it be time to have a Gear Demo / Reviews sub forum in General Gear? Half the first page of GG is nothing but gear Demo's so why not eh?

this is something similiar to what I want, I don't really want my own demo page, but I'd like to participate in one.
also thanks for fixing the GuitLove link at the top

I have no desire or reason to request them to stop. Not saying that I dislike them in any way shape or form, but it would be cool to have a go to area for demo's that I'm looking for without weeding through the entire GG.

What about consolidating all of the threads into one demo thread? Like the pedalboard thread but demos. I think a subforum is just going to end up a forgotten corner of the Internet.

That’s quarter-assed at best.
My main thought behind the sub-forum is that it would allow you guys to post a thread per pedal, so you didn't have to have a couple hundred page long thread to sort through. Even if you use keywords to search a thread you can still get a couple dozen to hundred posts with that word in it that you have to sort through. While with a subforum you can go into the forum and select search thread titles only and bam you've got all the threads for that pedal!
Not a sermon, just a thought.

I mean honestly, I just think there's been wayyyyyyyyy too many fucking demos lately. hahaha. I don't even bother to listen to them anymore for the most part because I'm overwhelmed by them.
I'll be open about it too. I don't like pedal combo demos. Unless they are really well done like Old Blood Noise does.
For the most part though I've listened to maybe 10% of the demos post on ILF in the last year.

I tend to agree........There are a few people who do great demos, for the most part I don't listen. Doesn't help that I usually am on ILF from places where listening is prohibited.
I am fine with a sub-forum, or maybe like a whole website where people can easily upload and share videos. Not sure if anything like that exists.........

I like that more people are making demos. I only watch demos made by ILFers anyways, and a video goes a longer ways towards giving me an idea of what a pedal actually sounds like than someone just sharing their thoughts.
