Paper labels. They must die.

Super "transparent" whatever. If you can't tell it's on why use it?

I don't get Fuzz Factory clone or other.
Lack of respect for the builder.

Yeah but... he kinda says it's an original design and it is just kinda a modded Fuzz Face with standard booster... and his Super Hard On came from an old console (as he admits) and the wooly mammoth is another modded fuzz face...

Don't get me wrong, straight out clones are bad, but some cloneing is always gunna happen to a point, there's only so many ways you can do certain things with electronics. You might have meant straight out clones though in which case yeah, that kinda sucks, especially those 'component tweaked' big muffs etc. (they mostly annoy me cause EHX of old gave not two shits about the components in there pedals, cheap, easy to obtain and affordable was the motto of the day, hence there success i'd say).

One cavaet, for those that want them, stuff like D*A*M is kinda cool to get stuff close to the original that is not in production, the resale prices aren't, but the original costs aint bad from what I understand.

Ya gotta just start using stuff in inventive and innovative ways.

Not to pick on your posts but awww, I like purple :(

Definitley this on the clone front though.

My one, builders that will go out of there way to defend there pedal company/circuit is fully original or built somewhere or using some special parts when it's been shown plain as day they're wrong, ahem... Ken & Lance... (no sur or company names, they'll probably try and sue me).

Ken Smith & Lance Lee... obviously :excellent:

Muffs, fuzzfaces and tone benders, I feel there enough of them now that it would be a good idea for everyone to stop making the things for 30ish years.

DOOM as a description. It doesn't seem to mean much anymore.
