nic	Re: ZVex schematics? I too once looked for vex schematics years ago. And as a matter of fact I did have one mailed to me by a prominent online guitar effects guru. However, I much more enjoy my real fuzz factory than I do the schematic. Totally worth the money. To me zvex is not a small business considering has posted his monthly finances here in the past. But what do I know? I guess the one thing I do know is vex is not a total asshole to the curious persons (as some makers are) and he is not making straight clones of schematics from the net... So I have a huge amount of respect for his designs and turn away potential clients on a daily basis requesting clones of his pedals. It is a person choice to make your schematics known to the public. I would do it because much of my knowledge I consider common knowledge. Boutique guys work hard to not expose their work when making mere clones due to the loss of potential credibility? Vex units are different and currently worth the money that the market demands. nic
