Floydfan	Re: justification I hear what your saying load and clear, and agree with it totally. BUT, about the WayHuge stuff. I checked out my Green Rhino and upon confirmation that it is a Tubecreamer clone, I reversed engeneered it. There is virtually nothing diff than the TS 808, other than the top notch quality (I do love Way Huge stuff, I pick his stuff up on the rare occasion I find anything affordable). It was also posted here that one of their effects is a copy of Craig Andertons tube sound Fuzz. So I am ASS-uming that the Aqua Puss is a copy of something (maybe an AD 9?) with some tweeks. Is it really wrong to do what he did and COPY an existing effect? I totally agree with not posting the Lovetone stuff, but something that is not really original? Now, I will admit that i ask this with some ignorance, I've never peeked into an Auqa Puss. And I wouldn't want to infringe on someone elses livelyhood (last time I checked, WayHuge was for sale) Some of the more famous effect are all ready covered by Fulltone, WayHuge and Voodoo Labs. I don't think posting the WayHuge stuff is really going to hurt anyone, as all these companies are or have been fairly successful. (I guess it wouldn't be a good Idea to post some of the more originalstuff, like the Choral Flange or VL sparkle Drive)
