BEHRINGER PEDALS ___ JUNK ???___ MADE IN SWEATSHOPS WITH SLAVE LABOR ?

 Uli Behringer a Swiss engineer and musician had a dream of making the cool high tech gear he saw around him in the 80's. At 16 he had already built his first synthesizer. So he set out to build his own Synthesizers, Drum Machine, Boards etc. In the first few years it was all made in Germany. It soon became evident that even using better tech than other makers it was not enough to keep the prices low. By the 1980's the bulk of all electronic parts were made in China. So it made sense to move to where the parts are. Parts are one thing but building complex tech needs well trained workers and cutting edge gear so from the beginning he knew he needed his own factory. He went to Hong Kong where at that time commerce, well educated employees and industrial methods were already based on the Western model.

The company grew exponentially never being able to keep up with the orders, so he made another which also was not big enough. In the end he decided to make a massive state of the art facility incorporating the best tech and 'green' technologies.

$100 million dollars later he got his

dream factory.

This is the sweat shop where your junk plastic $21.00 USD Behringer pedal is made, LOL

RIP OFF ARTIST? If you make a new kind of 'wheel' are you a thief. Ever since some caveman designed and sold 'the Pointy Stick' the next guy came along and made a better one. It simply how it works, just like yours but either better or cheaper

YOU CAN'T PATENT ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS?

No and I will tell you why. Let's say you design and build a brilliant guitar wireless rig that everyone can afford. So you make them and suddenly you are being sued by 'Big Ass Garage Door Open Inc. because part of your design they already use to open doors with. WTF ???

COPYRIGHT

You can however Copyright Ideas and how your device uses that idea to
make a product. Boss did that with the Boss OD-1 they made a Fuzz like thing that created asymmetrical tube like distortion. When very shortly Maxon came out with the Tube Screamer they did not want to but had to make theirs produce Symmetrical Distortion. It isn't amp like but it makes a killer booster. 

Boss then brought out their more famous Boss SD-1. 

It uses the more elegant Tube Screamer topography BUT it uses ...surprise?  asymmetrical distortion, so it does not infringe on Tube Screamer with its symmetrical distortion that was making the ts the bigger seller. Double irony :-)

Sorry guys no guitar making machines yet?  >>>

TRADE DRESS

This as you can see in the example below is illegal. You can not use graphics, symbols and fonts with the clear message it is really the same thing.

Trade Dress
infringement
pedal.

FORGERY

A nobrainer. It is illegal to clone a product and sell it as that exact product even if it is exactly the same not just looking the same.

FAKE !!!

...Even though it sounds identical

 

 

 

NOTE:

Moogoo are the parent company of Mosky, Demon FX and also make a few forgeries.

If you find any you want one see if Mosky has one in the same box and same layout of the knobs, switches, jacks LED, etc. If so it is the same pedal usually cheaper or even ridiculously cheaper.
