There is no excuse NOT to own this awesome pedal

[Gas-man]

I keep mine in a Keeley loop with a few others.

Such. A. Good. Vibrato.

Just playing it this morning into my Victoria 35210 and '66 Vibrolux.

Dee-lightful.

 

[bluenova]

How about this excuse.......

.......Behringer.

 

[blackjaw]

Green doesn't color coordinate with my board.

How's that excuse?

 

[Clark GriswoId]

Is it really that good?

 

[joelster]

Vibrato makes me seasick. How's that one?

Oh, wait. No top jacks. How's that one?

 

[chankgeez]

Well, it's a copy of the Boss VB-2.

 

[papersun]

i don't play guitar

How do companies produce almost exact copies of original designs and then market them as their own? Is a patent to be ignored just because of one or two component values? Is that all it takes? School me because I don't know...

Just wondering how it all works with almost exact copies. Like tech 21 and joyo re: the Blonde and American Sound...
Just confounds me.

 

[PurpleJesus]

Id try one. Their fake tube overdrive actually has some useful settings and they're so cheap if they break they become reasonably priced novelty paper weights

My excuse not to own;
I already own a Pigtronix Tremvelope.

 

[jswilliams]

Yep. The only vibrato I've liked better is the chase bliss. Although the ones on the Boss ME series are pretty great also.

 

[Gas-man]

Is it really that good?

Yes.

Price does not equal good sound.

 

[Gas-man]

My excuse not to own;
I already own a Pigtronix Tremvelope.

Coulda saved yerself $175!

 

[Gas-man]

Well, it's a copy of the Boss VB-2.

Yes, that has been well established and the VB-2 was out of production for a long time and the new ones are like $180 or somethin'.

 

[Gas-man]

Vibrato makes me seasick. How's that one?

Oh, wait. No top jacks. How's that one?

I accept these.

 

[Gas-man]

How about this excuse.......

.......Behringer.

Behringer makes a lot of great gear.

This aint 2000.

 

[Gas-man]

Green doesn't color coordinate with my board.

How's that excuse?

I will accept this one as well.

It's been discussed here frequently, but there's not a lot of legal protection in this arena as I understand it.

My amp has fantastic trem.

There are pretty much no patents in the guitar pedal world. They are very expensive and typically don't get awarded if you apply for them because most of the electronics involved are considered pretty basic engineering applications.
