clone pedals

[Chankgeez]

Sorry, Mudfuzz, you're right, it is running slow. I noticed it after I posted. Slow.

[D.o.S.]

Mad slow here

s.l.o.w

also is it slow for others on here or just my connection?

Been shit speed all day for me.

The whole issue of cloning is kinda bunk. Legally as long as you do your own layout you can make a 1:1 clone without any probs. pcbs are considered artwork and are able to be protected, circuits aren't.

I'd guess most small scale manufacturers have had or have a pedal that is directly based off a more well known pedal. There is no difference legally or morally cloning a TS, or tweaking a muff, to cloning a Fuck Overdrive. It's just we happen to know and love the builder of the fuck and it's harder to bone him than ehx or ibanez.

Oh yeah, that's in general. Re: ILF:

It's actually easier, in theory, to sleep with ss/BS Brian than an entire company.

I heard he like Mojtios. A lot.

I see where you're ... coming... from.

I totally get, understand, and am on board with your entendres.


All of them.

But now I want a mojito.

I've commissioned one clone in my life, and that's because before going totally wonkers, Devi wouldn't build another Test Pattern for me at any price.

And after waiting and trying for almost two years to make it so, I broke down and have one in the pipeline from my usual guy.

Schematics were released a long time ago, and when the builder refuses to make it...well, gotta do what a man's gotta do.

[D.o.S.]

I've never even heard of that... what's it do?

[rfurtkamp]

It's basically a sonic destroyer, couple of the existing circuits with minor (like 1 resistor or so) changes run into each other in what I'm guessing is a permanent internal feedback loop.

Demo linked is from when I first got it, controlling it took about a year to get down. On some settings it has a clock/tremolo tick if you stop playing or notes decay too far, etc. It also reacts violently to different types of pedals fed into it.

It's become an essential part of my toolset since I got it, nothing else gets the broken nuclear warhead screwing with a shortwave transmission sound quite right.

So not content with having one, I had my guy build me a backup that has two of them in one big box.
