any opinions/ideas on this?

[nieh]

At least they're not charging ridiculous prices.

Pains me to see the good Valco name being attached to this stuff.

It's not a scam. They aren't claiming a quality, booteek, made in usa pedal. It's not uncommon for the same crap to rebranded and packaged.

Valco = cheap crap

[McSpunckle]

Yep. You'll find Artec pedals re-branded by cheap brands. And Biyang as well. It's not a scam, just a re-branded generic pedal.

I'm sure they can be "tweaked" according to who ordered them, too. For whatever reason the Valco one seems to use different jacks and doesn't use any hardware on the switch.

[Gone Fission]

Frak, there are probably at least twenty brands that Super Fuzz pedals were sold under. Doesn't make them a scam. Freakish was a scam because they were lying their asses off.

OEM, MOTHERFUCKERS

It's what brought us so many tasty versions of Shin-Ei pedals.

i could own every brand of FY-2 and not have enough.

[ifeellikeatourist]

Yeah, as long as they aren't claiming to be anything other than a cheap Chinese pedal, I think its all good. As previously mentioned, the univox, shin ei, etc stuff is what immediately comes to mind.
