Trademarks & Fair Use
Pedal Builder is an independent, informational database documenting guitar-effects circuits, PCBs, and electronic components for builders, hobbyists, technicians, and the DIY community. It is a reference and comparison resource. We are not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or endorsed by any pedal manufacturer, brand, or trademark owner.
Why brand and product names appear here
Manufacturer names, pedal names, and model names appear on this site solely to identify and describe the products our database catalogs, and to let users compare circuits, layouts, and components. Using a trademark to refer to the actual product it denotes — for identification, commentary, and comparison — is nominative fair use. We use only as much of a name as is needed to identify the product, and we do not use any brand's logo, styling, or trade dress to imply a connection.
Ownership of trademarks
All trademarks, service marks, brand names, product names, and logos referenced on this site are the property of their respective owners. Their use here is for identification and comparative reference only and does not transfer any rights, nor does it imply any association with or approval by the mark's owner.
No endorsement or affiliation
A reference to a brand, pedal, or manufacturer does not imply that the trademark holder endorses, sponsors, is affiliated with, or has reviewed this site or its contents.
No branded goods sold
Pedal Builder does not manufacture, sell, or distribute products under any of the trademarks referenced. Where we link to third-party shops, documents, or resources, those sites are operated by others and are responsible for their own content and trademark use.
