Update 7/10/18 1:50 p.m. Eastern: TC Electronic has removed the listing for the “Pussy Melter” from its website. The company also issued a statement to MusicRadar, saying:

“It’s become clear that a number of people have been offended by the title and description of a delay TonePrint that we created over a year ago with Steel Panther’s Satchel. Steel Panther is an American comedic glam metal band from Los Angeles, California, mostly known for their profane and humorous lyrics, as well as their exaggerated on-stage personae that reenact the stereotypical 1980s 'glam metal' lifestyle (from Wikipedia). It has never been our intention to offend anyone but simply to provide fans of Steel Panther with guitar presets made by Satchel. We recognize that the material was inappropriate and we have removed the TonePrint in question from the app and we will take it down from our website as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize."

Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner and Braids’ Raphaelle Standell-Preston are among the musicians who have criticized audio company TC Electronic for the use of sexist language to describe one of its guitar effects. It currently offers a preset guitar pedal effect called the “Pussy Melter”—a vanity collaboration with guitarist Satchel of the California-based comedy hair metal band Steel Panther. “When we met up with Steel Panther’s oh-so-humble guitarist, he had only one condition: that the tone be as wet as the ladies on the front row,” reads the site’s description.

Guitarist Jessica Fennelly originally launched a petition to remove the product from TC Electronic, calling the TonePrint’s description “offensive” and “obviously sexist.” Braids shared a link to that petition on Twitter, adding, “As a female guitarist and just a female in general this makes me super disappointed!” Emily Reo wrote, “ew what the fuck, i thought making pedals that break all the time was bad enough.” Japanese Breakfast responded, “This is fucking disgusting.” Ted Leo also tweeted, “HIRE WOMEN and consider that YOUR MARKET SHOULD ALSO BE WOMEN. Ya fucking troglodytes.”

TC Electronic is a Danish audio company that’s been around since 1976. Steel Panther perform exaggerated glam metal songs with titles like “Gloryhole,” “Fat Girl,” and “It Won’t Suck Itself.” In the March 2017 YouTube video where he introduced the TonePrint, Satchel explained that he was given permission to “name it anything [he] wanted.” Pitchfork has reached out to Steel Panther and TC Electronic representatives for comment.
