Nothing wrong with that, and we all started the same way hunting for the ultimate ton we have in our heads. But, there are too many people selling pedals using his name based on layouts from this site is a problem. It’s not ok for people to sell things using other peoples names and layouts they did nothing to create. Since DAM pedals go for stupid money its easy to sell a clone . If he releases a schematic then it’s fair game, if not I dont think it’s right since he does release some of his schematics. He can have things that are his and his alone.
To be honest, he gave 90% of what you need to know in his description of the pedal. You can get a breadboard and work through it.
