[Dave Lewis]

It was called a BM-15M Murf Box.Still is on the Thomann site.
Andertons now have it listed as a BM - 15M Resonance Filter.

Still Smells Like Turd

It doesn’t smell of anything mate.
I’ve got one and it’s a bloody good pedal

Funny how that happens. When you keep stealing trademarks, companies make you rename your products. Duh! Murf was the name of the Moog they copied, so similar to their Klon stupidity, this should have been easily predicted and avoided.

Moog stopped making that range back in 2018.
Prices of old ones on the used market have gone through the roof .
So I don’t see anything wrong with any company bringing it back at a affordable price so people and youngsters can get to try one

Yeah, we get that YOU don’t see anything wrong with IP theft, but the law does.

I thought this discrimination had been sorted out last week?
Obviously not .

Your argument MIGHT hold water if it sounded remotely the same as the original. Since all evidence strongly suggests it doesn't, your argument is as full of shit as this pedal is.

Have you tried both side by side ?
I have and the evidence strongly suggests very differently here .
Anyway I’m not in for the full half Hour.
Just posted the name difference .

Quite a few people here find the practice abhorrent as well, which is kinda why things always get freaky when this particular company is mentioned.

Am I late for the bi-weekly behringturd bash?

A bit silly really don’t you think.?
How many Strats and Teles are copied every year I won’t mention all the others
FFS give me a hard time for having one of these with pigeons on it why don’t you ?

Fender wasn't aggressive enough in protecting their body shapes, so anybody can use them now. But they did protect their headstock designs, which is why you don't see them copied along with the bodies. Behringturd steals everything in sight, so they get nailed for their actions on a fairly regular basis.

You have to admit some of the double standards around this are ironic

Guitar forums on Behringturd:
“How dare they steal someone’s IP!”


Guitar forums on Gibson:
“How dare they stop someone from stealing their IP!”

Along with their legitimate legal actions Gibson also go after brands that you couldn't possibly confuse with their guitars though.

Plus they tried to release a range of Hendrix strats so they can put that in their "play authentic" pipe and smoke it.

If you actually look into it They don’t get nailed (As you put it ) on a fairly regular basis .

I tried to post above the Boss list link but you fooked that up so people can’t see it

I’m not an expert on copyright law, I’ll leave that to others to decide.

If that’s true I assume a judge dismissed the case or ruled against Gibson though? After all, Gibson doesn’t have the power to enforce copyright law themselves.

This post is ironic though in that you’re arguing Gibson does too much to protect their IP, but the very reason Fender designs get stolen so much (such as that Hendrix Strat you mention) is because they didn’t do enough to protect their IP.

Seems like a complicated path to tread and if I was a company I would probably err on the side of overprotection too

If you dissect any pedal ?
They will have the origins of the great originals inside

They don't all have the trade dress of the originals though do they?

 

[Dave Lewis]

Gibson still hold the record for copyright neck break angle and neck breaks
