Found a thread with similar info that occurred just before the 2010 NAMM show; somebody downloaded a NAMM mobile app and there were some Egnater buzzwords there. When I googled 'Egnater mayhem', this is one of the links that popped up:

http://m.core-apps.com/namm2012/exhibit ... db964c909/

These were the keywords in the 'About' section:
Egnater, Tone First, Rebel, Renegade, Tourmaster, Power Grid, Mayhem, Grail, Vengeance, Armageddon, Copycat, Overdose, Anarchy, TOL, Relapse

So I get that 'Tone First' is the Egnater slogan of sorts, and Rebel/Renegade/Tourmaster/Vengeance/Armageddon are Eggie products. I also get that Mayhem, Anarchy and Power Grid are features on some of the amps.

So what the heck are Grail, Copycat, Overdose and Relapse? Are those the pedals that Ian previously mentioned that they were working on?
And why has TOL reappeared? (Is he going to have that line recreated?)

Too early to tell on any of this, but sounds REALLY interesting.
 
I'll explain. In today's competitive world, you need some sort of protection for your ideas, or someone can take them. Whenever we think of a cool word or name that we think we may use now or in the future, we copyright it so we are allowed to use it later. The difficult part of this is that you must protect yourself separately for each country. This goes for patents, copyrights etc. So, all of those words may or may not apply to current products but will likely be something in the near future. This happens more often that you would think. For example. we had the Rebel amps out for quite a while and another company imported an amplifier named Rebel. They had not done their homework and were not aware we had the copyright to that name. Caused a bit of a mess for them as they had already produced this amp and had to change the name.
Copycat, Overdose and Relapse are, in fact pedals, we are working on. The Overdose, which is our dual clean boost and really great overdrive in one pedal, will debut at NAMM in a few weeks. Also coming now is the new HolyDriver pedal. This one is aimed at heavy rock/metal players and features a fantastic overdrive and a footswitchable mid cut/boost section (similar to the Armageddon) in one pedal. Copycat and Relapse are cool delay pedals that will be out in a couple of months.
