LOVEDOME-Entertainments proudly presents:

The first result of the "Boutique Pedal Designer".

Since more than 2 days all of the experts of "that other forum" are sitting around and discussing about these pictures:

These pictures are the guts of this unit:
T-Pedals T-Fuzz

The united force of intellectual property recognizes much:

nah, its definetly not a fuzz factory, that t fuzz looks like it has twice as many parts as the FF

That looks familiar.... tone bender???
They even recognize a diode where there is not any:
jaytee´s schematic
There is also an explanation for it:

No, the diode sets up the voltage for Ge1's bias.
so... yeah, it should be the other way around, shouldn't it?
But what all this concentrated intellectual property isn´t able to recognize is, that the little bastard "limlam" posted mirrored guts. :twisted:

As the inventor of the "Boutique Pedal Designer" naturallly I know all the dirty tricks and secrets and for this reason I thought that I should assist them a little bit at "that other forum".

For this reason, here it is, the:

As you can see, an EH LPB-1 (minus the emitter-resistor) followed by a fuzz-face (in the Jen FZ-III configuration) and finally a Big-Muff-Pi tone-control (with switchable bass). A typical application and result of the "Boutique Pedal Designer".

What did I listen one time ?
"It doesn´t matter what is inside, you only sell the case..... "

Or get a kid to finger paint them...then it costs $299

I think it's funny how they used a transformer endbell cover for the case. What's funnier is no one else "over there" noticed that.

I read the topic about the T-Fuzz in the US-forum. Really interesting, a guy srewed out the guts of a T-fuzz and was not able to read the values on the parts but he thinks he's able to clone it.

I forgot to mention that I got an email from a B-maker some weeks ago, asking what the lettering 2,2k on a 4W ceramic R means.

It was a mistake thinking that every B-maker has a cheapo multimeter from the mall.

I´m not sure if he doesn´t fool them. Why all pictures are mirrored ?
When he can´t read the values, why he doesn´t post another photos ?
Why he wants help and doesn´t react for a couple of days ?
Why he only presents the resistor values which are known ?
Why are on the orange caps no values printed ?
Why there is the voltage of the axial caps presented, but not the value ?
and,and, and....

I believe that it could be that somebody thought he is so clever and can marketing his products this way....

At the very least, I'm convinced that the guy doesn't own one or have access to one. He found those photos and is trying to get everyone else to do his dirty work for him.

Or, if it is someone form T-Pedals trying to do some sneaky marketing.... then he's just an idiot.

Speaking of idiots...
This is why I'm getting a reputation for being a confrontational asshole over at the other forum, because I dare to suggest that people who don't understand the basic concepts of electronics don't have any place in this business. I'm sick to death of B-makers who are completely ignorant of how their products work. It's a crime against the industry.

I think Bmakers owe it to their customers to understand their product - for customer support reasons.
