Code theft has and always will be a thing unfortunately. Same with circuits, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but write protecting eeprom will not actually protect your code, just stop it from being updated.

Also, I haven't read through the entire thread, but I don't think people here are advocating spin chip piracy. More using the component bought legally in ways originally intended.

And yes, I predict that eventually there will be a bunch of digital clones like there are a bunch of analog clones nowadays. Just like someone can buy a 3rd party DS cartridge and load all kinds of games on it, or an emulator and try out any number of games.

Unless I missed something, no one has said that they'd like to do this. But others might, so I don't mind builder soldering and protecting their chips at all in order to protect themselves from this kind of thing, but if there's a memory chip in there that I can access easily and try putting into another pedal strictly for my own amusement, I will, because it's in my nature to be a curious fuck.

Glad this went in a better direction and mad respect for the response Alexander pedals! I've over looked you guys but you just got added to my list! Also that shit was funny as fuck!! Hahaha. I know we all gave you shit but we are just ribbing you.

So do things like the CT5 use a spin chip? Could this be why I've heard similar algos from several pedals the last year? Or is there a baseline code that people use when building certain effects?

Nope.

Well, "things like" it might, but not the actual CT5.

No, that's just "Scott made a cool thing that does this. (or more accurately Knobs made a cool video detailing the cool things Scott's thing does). We should make a cool thing that does this."*



*Gratuitous oversimplification.

So are we coding some shit or not?

I'd like to start working on my own projects but I have no motivation and I'll probably end up with 'yet another reverb/delay/mod' boring pedal, so I'd rather work with some other people for things like this =)

Spin is ILF's trigger word

I believe you mean 'safe word.'

Oh man, there are WAY better trigger words here and I know them all. hahahaha.

Last two comments win thread.
