It's not about reversing to learn something. I don't have a problem with that if you keep it to yourself. The problem is reversing, and then posting for all the world to see on the net. Like I said - you might not try to make it for profit, but others will. You are making it easier for them to take my family income away. I've only got the one design that I sell in two forms. If this thing were to crash and burn we'd be out of our house. It's not about guys making a 1:1 clone. It's about guys taking any tricks (be they mine/klons/BJF/skreddy etc...), and then trying to take biz away from them. Make them read a book and go to school for electronics like i did if they want to take work away from me. Don't make it easy for them by posting schematics... Make them earn it.briggs wrote:Indeed it is. I still don't understand why the pedal industry is so against reverse engineering!? Every other industry does it.. Why shouldn't the boutique?

What I find really messed up is how a lot of you guys wont post your own schematics because you don't want to be ripped off, and yet you have no problem posting those of others.
If it's your design do what ever you want with it. When it comes to the work of others have a little respect.
