I called them out on it :) but I said ultimately I dont mind.
I would be a bit of a hypocrite - Ive sold pedals to some friends / bands on a one off basis from other veros online. This guy did a run of them so thats a bit different I feel.

No, not any form of relationship online in person or otherwise

basically he has trawled FSB et al and is selling a range of clones commercially.
I also started to do this but at least made my own layouts (!)
And for the record havent sold any :)

I was joking Lace, I understand how you feel... When I search something on ebay I feel really disgusted by this kind of Klonators... :D probably they don't know how to use a program to do their own layout...

I think if you put it on the internet (whatever "it" might be), you have to assume that someone is going to use it for commercial gain.

Hey man congratulations!  Haha, for real though, anything you put up on the internet you pretty much give up all rights to.

I'm guessing its your big cheese clone vero?

We should all order 10 units from him and put him under some stress! "uhhhhm, okay, so I've got to build 150 of these, in three days? What the f*ck!" That would be awesome! Don't know what he's asking, but we'll probably have to get a loan to pull this off......

Lovetone Big Cheese is a boutique pedal that is no longer made.
Was produced in the UK between early 90s and 2001 ish (if memory serves)

I drew the vero for contribution to FSB as none existed and I really like the Lovetone range so was trying to give something back.
