Gus, Will you please help me? I can no longer access Aron’s DIYstompbox website. I’m afraid I got blocked someway. Do you have an email address of the webmaster over there that you could send me? I can access the site from my work but neither my pc or laptop from home.
Thanks,
Tom

You are absolutely right, Matt. The artwork of the PCB is protected. To use a circuit, one must redesign the PCB. Thanks for making this clearer! gm

Funny there’s a question about the Satcherator right under the entry by a guy whose name would be Joe Satriani it the a and t weren’t reversed!!!

Seriously though, I think I heard something about the specific art work on the individual’s layout of a familiar circuit being patentable – meaning you can’t go out and buy 10 BYOC boards of the same effect and change the name and sell them as your own design. I haven’t heard what would happen if you were to put BYOC on the box though…

This essay (for lack of a better term) is, I believe, totally spot-on. The idea that information can be controlled after it is released to the public is as ludicrous as it is naive.

Thanks for publishing such great information and fantastic circuit layouts!

THink this article on infringement has taken a big weight off me. I am old and was looking for a small way to make ends meet with my hobbies and decided since I love music and instruments I would try my hand at this. I mostly like to make things so thus far have not even tried to sell any cloned or otherwise stomp boxes I have made…pure pleasure. And thanks to you Gaussmarkov for all the info, articles, shems, images and so on for sharing with us all and to the others mentioned as links etc.
Thanks
Manny
