The mark is not registered in the US--I checked. I doubt such a descriptive name would be registerable, anyway. I think he's bluffing you. You might want to talk to an attorney. In any event, you shouldn't be prevented from telling your customers in generic terms exactly what you're selling: a tube...

This thread is scarily close to advertising, which I dont like at all. Please feel free to discuss gear, but easy on the hard sell please.... I appreciate the offers and flattery, but when I also saw this in the BUY/SELL/TRADE it just started to feel a little advertiser-y.... Thanks. -Joel the big ...

Something tells me someone with $1k to spend on a wah migth take it a little more seriously if you spelled "tube" correctly, but maybe thats just me... dave A guy back in the '70's made a wah that was essentially all transistor with a tube stuck somewhere in the middle.

That picture has gotten more comment than anything else on my site. It is a real snake. It's an albino burmese python and it IS 14 feet ...

hi lee- I was referring to current sag in the power supply, not wether or not you have a high voltage power supply for the circuit. Its my understanding that when an amplifier demands a higher level of current than the power supply is comfortable supplying, it stresses it causing sag. I dont have e...

Lee, is there enough power present in the circuit to sag the power supply? probbaly not Id guess, but curious anyhow. dave Not sure I understand the question, but: There's plenty of voltage in the power supply.

can you give an overview of the controls on the unit, I see 5 pots, right? The circuit is a loop. All parameters affect each other. That said, the pot controls are: level, Q, gain, sweep range, intensity. There are also switches for toggling between inductors and "quacker" circuits as well as a sta...
