100% if we are talking electronics TV , VideoIn which way?
Asian companies been making some of the highest tech pieces of hardware on the planet for a long time now.

That’s the problem if you don’t build in house it’s the catch 22. To make products affordable and competitive you need to out source but when that same factory is producing Hotone , Line6 or Headrush for example it’s naive to think that some reverse engineering is not happeningAin't it the truth!!!
Walk into the R&D/Engineering department of any tech company and you'll find shelves over in the corner with all sorts of their competitors stuff in various states of disassembly.
Heck, part of the annual budget is set aside for the sole purpose of buying other brands' products for evaluation.
5 years ago no I don't think Hotone was really all that known in most DM forums
Personally it just depends on on the degree of egregiousness. Every company steals ideas. NeuralDSP was quite obviously "inspired by" Line6 for the QC UI. In turn, pretty much every major VST amp suite release has directly copied Neural's design language.
Yeah, this is what we were mentioning before about no scene support with the firmware update. Not good for so much hype.Ampero II Stomp

I doubt it - Helix Floor can only have 16 or thereabouts as far as I’m aware.
It sounds as though you are writing off BOSS there. BOSS was making multi-effects before anyone else, if I remember correctly. The first multi-effects unit I had was the BOSS ME-5 at release (which was during the late 80’s or early 90’s I think).
It’s strange that they haven’t released an updated firmware for the Stomp to bring the UI and features into parity with the Stage.
Ya that’s bad , they need to fix that as it is still way lower than industry standards
I don’t know but that demo guy at the end is damn awful as is the tone
That's the idea, yes. And with the Stomp II.
