Deciding on names for your pedals...

Haha, I have no idea what they sell, but they seem to own the trademark.

I'm afraid to go to the website!

Would be at your own peril...

Knobs, obv.

So you think they would fit on pots?

How do you guys go around thinking of original names?

I want to think of a name that will be original to me, like a brand lets say. Any thing I think of that can be used is usually taken. Not necessarily by a pedal company but somebody on the internet.

I refuse to believe that Knob Goblin exists as a company name

You may have a point!

Thanks you guys have been great! Even the funny bits were great! Much more helpful than other forums I posted this question on... they all seemed to recommend calling my pedals "penis".....

Anyway... One of the names I that I have been considering is Lighthouse Audio. It seems to be pretty safe to use but if anybody can take the time to do a google search it would be much appreciated! I found a few things but no big companies. I should be good to go right?

Looks like there's no quick google hit for a pedal or pedal company with Lighthouse Audio. There was a lot of hits for a song by Audio Adrenaline, and a small time New Zealand Band is called Lighthouse Audio.

Lighthouseaudio.com is taken, but it appears somebody is sitting on the domain, not using it.

Relevant to this discussion:

Because there is someone in the world who might interpret hearing Microsoft.com  as MikeRoweSoft.com, when they go on the web. Thereby robbing bill gates of one potential windows customer.

I thought it was Steve Jobs who runs Microrowesoft?
