This is somewhat topical, as I'm sure some of the members here are interested in Plush amps as well. I found this article today about Earth Sound Research:

http://www.pedalhaven.com/history-earth-sound-research-ampli fiers/

Apparently, their early amps were "copies" of Plush amps, and the later ones copies of Peavey amps. This is obvious by looking at them, but I was always curious about the background, if Earth was like a spinoff from Plush or Peavey, or if ex Plush/Peavey employees defected and took the designs with them. Turns out neither was the case, but they just got the amps and copied them as much as possible. Why they did that, I don't really understand. Also, apparently there never was any sort of litigation against them, they just folded due to financial troubles.

Also, I think Plush amps copied some Fender circuit designs, so in effect, the early Earth models were copies-of-copies. Weird.
