SO. GOOD.

Oh god yeah it's so good... need to watch it again soon. Of course every time I see it, I have the "put on some makeup" song stuck in my head for a good month. Not really a bad thing, though.

just to be clear, i know absolutely nothing about the story. and i'm definitely not commenting on whats going on here either.

but this sentence i keep reading it, like how can someone steal something that they themselves were creating? how do u steal from yourself?
i know theres probably more going on.

Would someone please PM me what is going on or post it over in freestompboxes, home of the pedal maker drama? I need to know!!!

I'm guessing someone else designed the circuit and this guy was just building?

I would guess he was contracted to design the pcbs. Dude isn't much of a dude but he knows his shit.

yeah. he worked for Dougy building his pedals, then put out a nigh identical looking and sounding copy of current pedals he sells.

not just taking an available circuit.

he's a dick bag. a bag of dicks. a bag MADE of dicks.

TB fuck nuggets are a special kind of establishment douche.

And by that I mean I have never wanted dominion over time and space more than when I've had to listen to any of them evangelize about a certain piece of gear and just wished I could go back and emasculate them with the external party of their formative relationships to a degree that they never feel safe about speaking with authority about anything, ever.

That seems healthy and well adjusted, right?

Sounds rational enough to me

Ok, you have just said the most true thing about Talk Bass ever. That board is the internet equivalent of a family reunion, and my family is awful and huge and full of men who know everything.

W/r/t pike, there's stealing, and then there's shitting where you eat. How do people not understand the difference between this and Fender/Lakland?

So if I'm reading all this right, the guy is hired to do the physical work -presumably because of his available resources at his own business- but then copies the pcb's he's being given, and drops them into his own "pike amp" boxes as a side line?

oh right…duh sherm sticks… building is not the same as designing. got my words confused
i see now…

damn that's dirty..

So how are some people on TB justifying this guy's position? Do they think it's totally fine for him to copy the work he's being given to physically put together and box up, but then to pass the whole thing, circuit design and all, as being entirely his own original creation? I can't even begin to get my head around the levels of stupid involved in that, let alone the selfish motivations, deceptiveness and delusion at the centre of it all.
