+ infinity
Agreed. I'm fairly lax on the whole cloning thing, but even to me that's a bit off. As I said over at TGP, it beggars belief how the same people who were decrying the "someone reverse it and tell us what it's a clone of!" brigade as evil are now cheerleading someone who's done exactly that- except who has done it for monetary gain and has kept the information as to what it is a secret.
Rat.
Get banned, that way, you'll never have to worry about it
Seriously, perf board? I used that for year 9 electronics because it's... Er... Cheap. If only they'd taught us to fabricate...

I mean I was all in favour of someone degooping and reversing it to let us know what it was- but secretly degooping it so you can sell a clone yourself, as I've said before, doesn't sit right with me. That makes you little better (actually maybe arguably slightly worse) than the original maker.

And I somehow doubt the original builder put a great deal of time into developing a new, unique circuit though I stand to be corrected.
Anyway, welcome to the fretboard! May the debate rage on
I ended up joining TGP, because for a month after I got this laptop I could not post here. All I got were error messages saying "body is required". One day, poof! I could post again...
My experience has been different than the majority of yours. Mainly because I never bother with threads like we're talking about here- they just don't interest me. I just needed a place to talk "shop" ( or read about it), and Fender's boards just aren't that busy.
$600 for a dirt pedal??? Nope. Not me. I'm also not buying into the Dumble hype either. I'm perfectly happy with my OCD, Blues Driver, and MXR distortions. I spent maybe half that for ALL of my dirt boxes. Yay me!
FWIW, this place has it's own "cults of personality" and annoying quirks. Not to mention the bashing and piss taking of anyone who doesn't think like us... We have our own epic ugly shite-fests. It is a guilty pleasure to read/ participate in the occasional flame war, though isn't it? At least we can throw ours into the black hole of the Speakers Corner, and avoid it if we want. I was recently reminded of why I usually avoid that place. That place can get every bit as nasty and insulting as any other board out there.
I just thought I'd point out that much of the behavior you guys are ranting and raving at TGP about is also present here. It's not just an American "thing".
