Industry insiders claim JHS Pedals are cloning...Devi Ever?
The ad copy for the JHS Astro Mess fuzz reminded me a lot of the whole freakish thing...
It turns out the pedal bears a striking resemblance to the Devi Ever Hyperion.

They've even gone as far as to start defaming Devi among their retailers (some of which carry Devi Ever pedals).

Sorry copy pasta'd and the link got chopped.

Pedal making business sounds like fun...

JHS deals in clones for the most part, right?

Shitty they're claiming this one as "original" though. Imitation = Flattery, I guess?
Funny how no one gives a shit about cloning until it happens to a builder they like. The JHS build looks cleaner at least.

Still, nowhere near the Freekish thing. That masterplan was far shadier in execution. This is just another good ol' cloning it seems, commonplace. It's insulting though when companies won't own up to it.

Dude, don't go around insulting God Fearing Americans and Family Men.™

Unfortunately, it looks like JHS went further than that. They pre-emptively sent an email to all of the retailers telling them that Devi was claiming that it was a clone, and it's apparently caused some static between Devi and the retailers. Cloning is one thing. But when you starting fucking with the original builder's relationship with their retailers, that's some bullshit right there.

Yep...I don't think Devi can expect much from outing them for cloning besides maybe an apology, but the whole bad mouthing her stuff to retailers could be a serious defamation suit.

Lame. So incredibly lame.

Yea, usually I'm not into the Devi attention thing... But this is pretty messed up.

I'd contact Switchfoot with the matter if I were Devi.

But seriously though, waaaaht's aguna happen to my long waitlist JHS Klone. That dude is big time, and Devi is small time... SO IOANO.

Very true. If you've got the nerve to "borrow" a design for you're own profit, give credit where credit's due. Defamation shouldn't be tolerated but the pedal biz is a fucking drama filled mess as of late.

I actually would like to try the hype now..

Tortious interference with contract relations is, as you would expect, a tort. Mental distress can be included in damages. Contracts arising out of the interference can be enjoined to prevent the tortfeasor from benefitting.

Sustained.

Is this thread now about cake? I love cake.
