As I was walking around counting hipsters in my rapidly gentrifying neighborhood this afternoon I had a thought, "you learned building pedals by copying others designs and making tweaks" and I felt like a hack asshole for making this post. There is no originality in creation is there. We're all starting our ideas from someone else's viewpoint. In this case when we see a chinese company doing it on eBay we assume thier just copying stuff because the Chinese have a long history of not really caring about copyright. so be it.

"Blowing up" is a cool name for a pedal. And so is "blow up". so maybe that's kind of cool. maybe i should trademark it?
