      I have several Behringer pedals. They are "OK". I also have a few boutique pedals that are interesting, overpriced and maybe a rip-off. They seemed like a good idea at the time. Currently I'm collecting "Amps-in-a-Box". To each his own. You may not be able to get Behringer's for $4.95 but maybe $15.

    I happen to have a Sound JS Stereo Chorus CE-5 and the output jack of it is actually stereo. You got to plug a TRS cable into it and get stereo signals on tip and ring then. You may need a Y-adapter in order to use that signal. Now the best thing about it: The stereo signal is useless to the bone. The bacon sound becomes even louder while a good part of the "stereo" chorus effect cancels out. Amazing!

      I would stay out of the pedal business. I could design a pedal that I like and if I brought it to market, it would be the same or "too similar" to an existing pedal. Unless I could imagine a unique sound that I don't think has been done before, (which I can't at this time and I'm 65), I'd play it safe and just stay out of the arena. Look how Spirit sued Led Zeppelin (unsuccessfully) because Stairway to Heaven had some note & chord sequences that was similar to a song of theirs. The ruling was based on the fact that probably all of those note sequences have been used for centuries, with examples.
      Pedal designs have not been around for centuries but there are known circuits that cause effects such as fuzz ( a friend of mine build a fuzz for me in high school in 1973). It didn't come "with a box" but I still own it and the circuit board is simple. It would be so easy to swap out some caps, diodes or resistors and change the effect. I'd never even think of marketing it because whatever I came up with would probably resemble someone else's pedal and I don't have time to research all the electronics patents.

    I was huge Temple Of The Dog fan when that was released. Reach Down is an all time great (math) rock song.
    Having worked in the telcom and bicycle industries in Taiwan and China I very much enjoyed this episode. Finding knock offs of products you've been involved in getting to market can be crushing. At the same time it can be fun to see how someone else reverse engineers things. One observation I'd like to offer is that I've seen Japanese companies licence designs to other companies who can produce them at lower cost. The agreement is usually that they only sell them into markets not focused on by the licencing company. Or they are stealing the intellectual property and selling into a market where the patents and copy writes can't be enforced.

    I liked Temple of the Dog a lot, I like just about anything Chris Cornell has ever been involved in. It seemed to me that was more like a "pre-PearlJam" than a merging of anything. They decided they couldn't go on as Mother Love Bone but that affected Soundgarden and Cornell in particular as much as anyone. So this came as a result before they all went their separate ways.

      That's spot on! I'm in my 50's, from Seattle, friends with a number of the people involved, and worked at the downtown Tower Records, at the time.
      Temple Of The Dog was a tribute to Andy Wood, and it was FROM that mish-mash of musicians from various groups, that Pearl Jam formed (at first, as Mookie Blaylock).
      Obviously being close to it all, I feel that this specific element of this album, is historically significant, but most important is for people to DISCOVER the album, and from that, they can start tracing band lineages, and deep diving into a number of great bands from that time and place.

      Mother Love Bone's singer, Andrew Wood, had recently died due to a drug overdose just as their debut album was released. He was a good friend of Chris Cornell. They had lived together for a time. Chris wrote some songs about Wood and asked Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament of Mother Love Bone if they wanted to record them with him as a tribute. The tribute songs grew into an album. While this was going on, Jeff and Stone had started forming a new band with Mike McCready on guitar. They didn't have a name yet. During the Temple of the Dog recording sessions, Eddie Vedder had come up from San Diego to audition for the new band which would become known as Pearl Jam. They asked him to sing on Hunger Strike. Don't remember if he had any other backing vocals on the album or not. They toured a little as Temple of the Dog, but I don't think there was ever an idea to be a permanent band since Soundgarden were on the verge of their breakthrough with Superunknown and the new formation of Mookie Blaylock/Pearl Jam. It was always meant to be a one off tribute to Andy Wood.

      @@scedge This is very accurate. I was... close... to the whole situation (friends with a number of the people involved - no namedropping, that's not the point).
      There was a big Andy tribute show at The Paramount, where Temple Of The Dog played (that show was maybe without Chris, of memory serves).
      For such famous groups involved in the realization of that project, I'll say again, I think it's odd how muddled the history became to those who weren't there, despite being fans of the various groups.
      Before the rest of the world realized there was something going on musically in the Northwest, Andy seemed poised to become a huge star, and he was a good musician, amazing sense of humor, and so on.
      When he died, it GUTTED all of us who were friends with him, or even just casually knew him.
      Obviously many tragedies and losses to come, but none of us knew that, of course, so Temple Of The Dog was such a cathartic thing for all of us, amd fans of Andy/MLB/Malfunkshun

    Pushin' Forward Back is my favorite on the album! The Melvins - Hold It In is pretty great. King Buzzo & Dale Crover are joined by Paul Leary & Pinkus from The Butthole Surfers. There are a few songs on there that sound like Butthole Surfers songs but with Buzz on vocals instead of Gibby. The Hindu Love Gods self titled album is pretty great too. Warren Zevon backed by Mike Mills, Peter Buck, & Bill Berry of R.E.M. playing covers. Their version of Raspberry Beret is really good.
    Speaking of Soundgarden, while there is no official release of this, the Tadgarden show is super cool! Soundgarden reunited in 2009 playing Soundgarden songs but with Tad Doyle singing

    GREAT episode! I owned a Grunge pedal and sold it (in original box!) a few years ago on Reverb. The only pedal I kept from those days was the Bad Monkey. I may replace it with a shameless clone I have my eye on called the "Bonsai"! Speaking of bands that are clones, check out "Phantom Rocker & Slick" from the mid-eighties. It's the guys from the Stray Cats WITHOUT Brian Setzer doing amazing Americana with Earl Slick on guitar duties. I've been trying to nail Slick's sound since then... would love your take on what he might be using...?

    One of my all time favorite records, is "Metamorphosis" by Iron Butterfly. After the success of In a Gadda Da Vidda, they made another album with the same line up (possibly two). Following that, guitarist Eric Braunn leaves the band and is replaced by two. One is Mike Pinnera from Blues Image (Ride Captain Ride), who also sang. The other is a wicked slide guitarist called Rhino. This lineup only released this one studio album , then broke up for five years. This album blew me away the first time I heard it, and still packs a mighty punch. I also think it is one of the best recorded albums ever, it is mixed really well. I've met other people who share my thoughts in that regard, it really must be heard. The album was somewhat successful at the time, with the single "Stone Believer" getting some FM airplay. I hope you enjoy Metamorphosis as much as I have.

      Note that whilst some of these are pedals made by big businesses that probably don't care about the numbers JHS is selling, some are smaller independent builders and plenty are DIY designs where the actual designer is known.
