I think it's cos ryan stopped pushing it for his family problems, so people who care about popularity lost interest.
it feels like ryan's building no more in their opinion I guess?

I 'm still a fan of Ryan's work. No custom graphics, but I like the original standard ones.
One day I'll pick up a V1 Buzzaround to complete my little collection.

Ryan is still the shit, and mad love to all his pedals!!! His buzzaround is a fuzz best buy, and his MKII hangs with the best of 'um!

Got a chance to hear a couple of his MKIs recently and I thought they held up well next to the Jerms.

Also checked out a cool custom treble booster that he made an it sounded great too.

Ryan builds some good stuff, I got this when he was doing the custom graphics. It was a Xmas present for my kid and I cannot blow it off the board with anything. He has had access to everything vintage and boutique. I also have the only wah Ryan built and I thank him for that......my son did not get his hands on that. Here is my son's Skinpimp custom MKII and MKIII combo and it does sound fantastic.....

I'm guessing Ryan is a good 20 years younger than me, a tat artist and whatever mainstream will say.........I am pretty mainstream and I don't care if he is from Mars or a "Dirty Hippie," he is a person of integrity and would like to buy him and his wife dinner someday when I am in the Dallas area.

Ryan - If you are reading this board I feel for your loss my friend.

I also have this ... a Skinpimp prototype Fuzzrite done on perfboard from 2008.
It's cool to see where he went with this stuff ...
I also had a MkI, MkII, MkIII and a Skinpimped Hurst MkI, but they all got swallowed up in various fuzzlettings over the last year.
I'm with chetz -- you sure won't hear a bad word out of me about the guy.
