Well it makes it waaaaay worse though! It's like... they weren't even the first pedal company to use it, let alone the fact that they don't own it in the first place

drop Toho Co LTD. a line about Gojira FX using their trademark for profit without permission (which I highly doubt they have), I promise you they will not have that name long. Their lawyers are absolute sharks who have gone after less.

Oh shit, vicious but fair.

Hey did you ever play Shadows of the Empire on N64? IG-88 was terrifying in that game.

That part was a cut scene, and they were sort of just slide shows if I remember right. But yeah,I know that feeling, N64 graphics don't blow your mind anymore like they did back then.

I spent hours messing around with all the cheats. I even had dreams about the Echo Base level.

It took me forever to beat Boba Fett. Obviously that was before the days of truly open-world console games, but the bosses in that game definitely had well-designed levels. He could come out of nowhere, that dude...

The waist down?

Post the following two pics and ask him to explain himself.
If he licensed the pcb from Taylor, fine, but I'd like to see evidence..

Scroll down to the close up its a dead rip off

Also it's not even an original circuit, itself is Tim escobedos ugly face design...

Didn't Taylor license it though??? I know he has the rights as far as I know. So I think he may have change a few things.

You're right though. The PCB's are VERY similar. Wouldn't be hard to replicate.

Taylor didn't have to license it - it is only the pcb artwork that must be licensed, and he has made his own layout = no problems. Which makes the similarities in the two pcbs all the more interesting.

My point wasn't about Taylor
He doesn't need a license for it, but it's still not an original circuit
My issue was the traces are almost identical and the parts placement seemingly is identical which is ripping off taylor layout

Oh I got that! I meant that doesn't Taylor own that design because he created it off of an existing circuit with permission?

So yea, that's totally messed up if they copied his board.
