“Gooped” …challenge accepted?

[Joben Magooch]

Saw this take on “gooping” today. I believe it’s an MI Audio Megalith or something…

Honestly, that’s what you get if you have your foot switch as part of your main board.

That literally makes me want to clone it.

Yes.

That seems like a pretty good-natured way to voice a bit of frustration about having specific versions of boards "inspire" companies without going down the rabbit hole saying that the underlying design was carved into a stone tablet carried down off of Mount Arrghh-A-Rat.

I want to see if there is anything fun printed on the other side of that circuit board.

The goop will make it structurally sound!

I blame Gwyneth Paltrow

The joke is that there are any “original” designs that could reasonably prompt this.

If your “livelihood” depends on the fact you took an original design and tweaked a few things and called it your own, that’s a poor career bedrock IMHO.

Plus, antagonizing is kind of like daring, right?

Sounds like permission to me!

I would have thought this was pretty clever if it was just the goop text and not the “you wouldn’t download a car” equivalent sentences. Makes me want to go through on my idea to goop a board with clear just epoxy

Wait, you mean like Wampler, JHS and Earthquaker?

I've been working on an original design that I intend to compete with an existing pedal on the market, so I wanted to buy the original so I could A/B my design against his. Apparently he noticed my @sushiboxfx.com email address and gooped my pedal before shipping it I have friends that have the same pedal and none of theirs are gooped, so I got special treatment just for me. I wasn't originally planning to trace it, but it made me want to

But when I told Robert about it he beat me to it and it's already been traced and is out there now

And THAT is how it’s done. Love it.

Locks the crystal lattice in place.

 

[jimilee]

Yeah but those guys aren’t crybabies and they’re doing well.

Truth!

 

[andare]

Locks the crystal lattice in place.

What about crystal lettuce and crystal latissimus dorsi? You need those as well for structural integrity or the whole lattice falls apart

 

[Joben Magooch]

Yeah I feel like anymore this is a great example of Streisand Effect. and with the exception of some rare cases (like the original Klon or something I guess) it seems like anymore circuits are gooped less because they’re something truly unique that the maker doesn’t want copied and more because it serves to obscure the fact that it’s probably just a dolled up tube screamer or what have you…

 

[Laundryroom David]

BUT I‘M SPECIAL AND THIS IS MY FAVOURITE THING THAT I MADE!

The tone is in the goop
