Somebody stole DVM's idea!

Now where might T Rex have come up with the idea for a yellow dirt box (http://t-rex-effects.com/Default.aspx?ID=2&ProductID=PROD365), eh? Break out the attack lawyers, Bob!

Hmm. Maybe Dunlop should file suit (http://www.jimdunlop.com/product/m104-distortion) against both DVM and T Rex.

Don't forget Boss (http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=131&ParentId=254).

(yes, I know it's an overdrive and not a distortion. But it's close enough.)

[marnold]

Actually, DVM's is an overdrive too so the Boss counts.

Yellow overdrive pedals?

Ahem...

Both predate the Boss OD-1.

I have a boss Turbo OD pedal that's yellow too ;)

Regrettably, I do not hold exclusive rights to the use of bright yellow paint on effects pedals....
