There has been much talk online about Mason Marangella of Vertex Effects Inc. Here is a summary.
There is photographic proof which shows the Vertex Axis Wah to be a rebadged BBE Ben Wah, with no changes other than cosmetic/goop, and to remove/falsify country of origin.
The Vertex Axis Wah sold for more than double the price of the BBE Ben Wah.
There is also photographic proof which confirms the Vertex volume pedals to be rebadged Boss volume pedals, with tuner out removed, one jumper added, cosmetic changes and goop, and with country of origin removed/falsified.
Mason mislead customers over the way in which he advertised Scott Henderson's volume pedal. Scott had more to say about the matter here.
Photographic proof shows the Vertex cable, claimed to twisted pair and with custom low-capacitance connectors, is actually Belden non-twisted pair cable, using stock high-capacitance connectors, and with Vertex logos added on shrinkwrap.
Mason started Vertex in 2007 and has built up a reputation. Sadly he has now been exposed and his reputation has been destroyed. The evidence has mounted against him and he has said nothing on the subject, hoping that his customers will still pay over the top prices for rebadged goods which you can get much cheaper elsewhere.
