[QUOTE="djd100, post: 92814, member: 825"] Back in the 1940's Leo Fender copied GE, Jim Marshall later copied Leo, and everyone else has copied them. One can't make a traditional tube guitar preamp circuit and expect to patent it, form factor yes as Bruce has done with the MTS card/card-slot with knobs patent, but not the actual circuits. We have built some custom MTS tube gear; Vox AC30TB, Orange OR120, Matchless Chieften (just for our own use, we're not selling to the public), though we didn't copy any MTS modders or Bruce, rather we copied the original tube amp's schematics (as much as was practically possible within the MTS form factor). If you're working in the guitar preamp world as MTS people are, then no one has any legal IP ("Intellectual Property"), aside from Bruce's patent of the form factor of course. [/QUOTE]
