The band teamed up with an audio company to create a sexist sound effect.
Steel Panther has faced considerable criticism after revealing a partnership with TC Electronic to create a sound effect called "Pussy Melter".
The company and guitarist Russ Parrish , better known as Satchel , joined forces to create a new sound for the brand's pedals. The company's website description states: "When we met with the Steel Panther guitarist, he had only one condition: that the sound be as wet as the women in the front row at concerts."
Now, both are receiving criticism for sexism, and an online petition is circulating to remove the product from TC Electronic's line, alleging that the description is "offensive" and "clearly sexist."
So far, Steel Panther and the company have not commented on the matter.
What f*cking year is this???
Pls sign my friends petition to EDIT/REMOVE @tcelectronic disgusting write up for their “pussy melter” guitar effect pedal. As a female guitarist and just a female in general this makes me super disappointed! https://t.co/LK2YZJt70d pic.twitter.com/EILfX9lQhh— Braids (@braidsmusic) July 9, 2018
