I thought TC had bought them like 15 years ago but I guess TC just bought a bunch of their designs and then released them as the Vintage series in the early 2000s.

They will have to pull it out of Bankruptcy first unless they paid all the debtors (I hope not lol). Will be interesting to see! Hope they do well!
I've NEVER tried any of their stuff. It's all too meh to me. Even the echo stuff. I just, I dunno...I'm so fucking jaded anymore. hahaha Wish them well however!

T-Rex has a weird nostalgia spot in my gear heart but I’ve only ever owned one of their pedals.
The Tonebug reverb was the first non-Boss pedal I ever bought and part of my first “serious” board. Sparkle Drive - Big Muff - MXR Analog Delay - DD7 - Tonebug into an old Fender Bronco. I thought I had reached the top of the gear world. In retrospect that is still a board I would rock.
If they do start back up again, I wish them the best. I still probably won’t buy any of their stuff though. :/
