3/ Builders like D. Main make kick ass, 100% quality pedals. Alex makes a pedal that sounds nice, however, sloppy wiring, cold solder joints and glued on inkjet "art' over a crappy paint job is criminal at the prices he fetches.
2/Again a picture does little harm without knowledge of actual component values. Breadboard warriors screw around with old circuits all of the time ... nothing is new (believe me). Except for the paint job, or when someone goes knob wild (like 4ms).
If anyone really wants to see gut shots all one needs to do is search the web, they're around I've seen them. If anybody wanted to clone the circuit they would have by now. But, it isn't new or exciting enough to devote time to.
1/ In the old days it was a common practice for schematics to be attached inside electronic devices. These days people act as though they are entitled to unpublished redesigns of classic circuits.
This is a product for sale. If you want it, you should buy it. The eq knob alone is different from the Burns unit. It is his design. If you want to modify the Burns design your own way, then have at it. I am sure he spent a lot of time and energy tweaking it and making something special in an effort to provide a quality product to consumers. Why should that work and time be passed along for someone to possibly clone? Do you give you work away for free?
yeah. well, you make one that sounds that good, then tell me it's silly.
The origin of the design may come from somewhere else, but the choice of transistors, caps, layout, value tweaks, etc. all make a pedal what it is. All pasta sauce starts the same, it's the tweaks the chef makes that make it something special.
Hey Dude, real musicians don't care what their pedals look like, they only care what they sound like.

@hum1
What's the harm of posting a known circuit?
Crumpred 2 years ago
Well, what would be the point to posting the pics of the guts?
hum1 2 years ago
I agree. Alex makes a nice sounding box. I was only responding to the "not post pics" comment.
