Haters gonna hate: BOSS collaborates with JHS

[jrfox92]

I guess the whole collab-parallel-drive pedal thing is ruined now

meh, it can be done better.
it's just not an original idea anymore.

but my honest impression is the idea would work much better with the smaller companies anyway...

Not only can be, it was done better, by DOD.
It's unfortunate that a lot of people overlooked their efforts up until the Boneshaker dropped to $40, at which point they faced a shit ton of slander/libel from stupid people, so.

Love my my boneshaker. Thats why I have 4.

You know he is the smaller company that collaborated with Chase Bliss on their parallel-drive pedal (Brothers)

[D.o.S.]

So he knows first hand how hard it is to make a good pedal after a collaboration?

[D.o.S.]

Also there was no slander or libel about DOD let's not use words without knowing what they mean please.

I didn't say here, did I?
There most certainly was slander and libel. I saw people lie about shit first hand.

Maybe slander/libel are strong terms, though.
Basically, I saw tons of people running around claiming DOD was selling broken pedals and such solely because they had no fucking clue what they were buying and then they made sure to let everyone interested know their baseless opinions.

[D.o.S.]

Saw is not heard, so it wouldn't be slander. Libel is defamation, so unless DOD sued it's not libel.

[D.o.S.]

But* not second so*. Ducking mobile posting.

[D.o.S.]

Ooooh OK. Yeah I remember that. That's different though that's Just rampant stupidity.

I guess it's just that I was using a specific definition ("a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation.") that was a bit stronger than what I intended to convey.

[jrfox92]

Ooooh OK. Yeah I remember that. That's different though that's Just rampant stupidity.

Yeah, exactly.

I can't think of a word that's stronger than just saying "lying because they're fucking idiots" but not as strong as "libel/slander."

Oh, well.

[Gone Fission]

so unless DOD sued it's not libel.

Nope. Suit not required. People don't sue over libel all the time.

[worra]

Came here for a good hate thread. Was not let down. Yeah, I dunno who is telling Boss what companies to collaborate with but sheesh, shitty choice.



Also would buy a "Count to go fuck yourself" collaboration all day and all night

[Confuzzled]

I don't know much about JHS other then a few sociopathic rants from she who will not be named and what i read on the boards. never tried their stuff. aesthetically i find it boring. what i am curious about is their growth spurt and how the connection with BOSS was made? how was that initiated? how does a company that's known for ripping off others work become so huge and essentially leapfrog over other builders to that "next level?"

[JonnyAngle]

I'm waiting for JOYO to do a collab with someone

[jrfox92]

A lot of gaslighting and a lot of self promotion.
Wouldn't be a bit surprised if there are funds coming from a third party, either.
