I was thinking of building a pedal or two this summer just for laughs. I always wondered, though, what it takes to call a design "your own".
I know Marshall made a hell of a living copying Fender amp circuits way back when. It seems often new amps are rehashings or combinations of rehashings of old models.
Why isn't anyone getting sued? And for me, if I wanted to tweak my own box, and my friends happened to want copies, how far do I have to go to avoid copyright/patent infringement? One capacitor? Two? Twenty?
