Turns out they are releasing a Shiva pedal.
Yep, we realized Bognor made a Shiva amp shortly after we started selling our pedal, but now they are branching out to pedals. We're happy to play nice. What's this mean for you? Same kickass sounds, new kickass package.

Screen printed, and powder coated!
wheeeeeeeeeee!
Also, we'll have to remove our Shiva videos and web page entries to avoid confusion, but we're hard at work on the She Fuzz media.

Thanks. I've got some feelers out to the Venture Brothers crew, so maybe MAYBE this pedal will get even BETTER?!?!??!

Um. What the fuck. Why do they get the rights to the name Shiva automatically?

Lets phone India and send some angry Hindustani people on Bognors ass.
That's quite disappointing from him to say the least.
But good for you Aen, Shiva being the god of death and resurrection, this She-Fuzz looks amazing!

This type of situation leaves a bad taste in my mouth, although your positive attitude is quite refreshing.
Hope you are properly compensated and not being threatened/bullied into changing the name if you had it first.
Feeling like I, personally wouldn't take the videos down, but rather make them private so I/my lawyer could view them if need be...with intact upload date.
Killer graphic btw

I think you should release a pedal called the "Bag of Reinholding" or something like that.
Or "Reinhold This".
Or "Ham on Reinhold".
Or "The Boggy Man".
Or "Bog Nerd".
I can keep going forever ...

I think Aen's doing this out of consideration and to make matters less complicated. Bogner's amps have a higher profile in the guitar community than Dwarfcraft's pedals.
As a simple test, type the words "shiva" and "guitar" into an internet search engine and see the results for yourself. I think you'll get a lot more Bogner hits than Dwarfcraft.
I don't know if Bogner's e-mail contained any litigious comments, but why go down that road if it can be avoided?
What would you guys do in a similar situation?

https://www.google.com/#hl=en&gs_rn=9&g ... 66&bih=643Shiva Guitar Pedal is the way I would search.
Why would it even be an issue with Bogner though? What two pedals can't have the same name? Who cares! Just weird. I totally get it, but just curious.

Yeah, doesn't matter to me either, but, clearly, Bogner believes people are stupid and are gonna confuse Dwarfcraft pedals with his products.

Wow, the graphic is awesome.
When this will be in store? Or direct from Dwarfcraft?
I would like to try the She-Fuzz in my Bogner amp (LOL).

R.I.P.
I like the new name though!
