Without making a call on the pedal(never heard of, never tried it) but that's all it seems to take these days...

• Get a schematic of freestompboxes.com,
• Change a few resistor and capvalues,
• Goop it up to hide the evidence and add to the "mystique",
• Put it in a "customfinished" box,
• Stick on a decal with some schmart wittery play of words,
• Manage some multiple personalities on a forum to build some hype,
and away you go for your 15 minutes in Bullteek-La-la-land. :rolleyes:

Or in the case of one unnamed pedal company:

Buy a $29 Joyo pedal
Remove circuit from pedal and add resistor
Put sharpie over "JOYO" markings on circuit board to cover up the evidence, and add peanut butter goop to components for "mojo"
Put circuit in new enclosure and install new colored knobs
Mark up price $170
Advertise your slightly modded cheap Chinese built pedal as a USA Custom Shop build to justify price to potential buyers
Wait for backlash once people find out what you are doing
Use the money you made on the original pedal to change silkscreens on PC board to say your company name instead of JOYO.
Try to sell cheap Chinese pedal as your own... again...

I read the commotion when the FB was positively identified as a Joyo OCD and assumed that would be the end of it...or rather the end of FB.
Didn't know about the last 2 plot twists... :eek:

Every major guitar and FX forum covered it. The ginormous thread on TGP(sorta the virtual home of the maker) was pulled. Possible under threat of a lawsuit. Not sure, I try to stay away from soapoperas.

This one is still there, it's not very informed but should give you a hint as to what to look for... http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/pedals/130261-new-od-pedal-freekish-blues-alpha-drive-dumble-content.html
There is really good one on Musiker-board but it's in German. I think they were the first to expose the joyo board as a Fulltone OCD (mix and match of version 1 and 3, with different potvalues to mask the rolloff).

Yep, the biggest scandal to hit the guitar world since Gibson tried to release a Hendrix signature strat (http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/Daily/News/Gibson_Unveils_Strat_Style_Jimi_Hendrix_Signature_ Line.aspx).

Not too exciting, but I built a chorus pedal. I painted the box white and wrote "chorus" on it in lack sharpie.
