Right so.
Those of you who are fans of Muse will be well aware that Matt Bellamy has a fine looking Dickinson Amp. Well now DA have an overdrive. Better yet, they put a gut shot on their site.

So... Who feels like some tracing!?

Don't think you're going to be able to trace it from that photo. Seems reasonably well-built, although I don't know why people think turret boards are point-to-point.

Hey, don't link that picture directly from their site. Not so nice.

Internet etiquette, you know, bandwidth theft? The picture could easily be attached to his post (i.e. hosted here) rather than hotlinked. Besides, that ensures its longevity.

i like the little separated power section, and the nicely laid out board. i wonder why he used a grounded input for one bypass and not the other? i understand why you would ground the input of the boost section, but why not the whole effect?
see those crazy amps???

their amps are porn, and also have gut shots. Matt bellamy has one. He uses it on tour, BUT, it's not mic'd, so as far as i know, he only really uses it for mega feedback/mega prop.

The board looks nice but the wiring's a mess...

Fine, report my post and have it removed then. The option to edit a post disappears quickly on this board...

I hope you're not serious. Links are the whole point of the internet.
If someone is afraid of "bandwidth theft"

they can easily prevent pictures from loading through other sites than the ones they allow.
Your suggestion of copying the image and uploading it here would probably be a breach of copyright. Now we can discuss internet etiquette.

Actually, it's better to link something rather than rehost it. Someone rehosted an ancient schematic of mine and I had him take it down.

Difficult issue indeed. Agree with linking, downloading and rehosting is breach of copyright. Problem is I don't see it displayed on their own website. If that is the case the best you can do is:

I am serious. Though, you are correct, breach of copyright was an oversight on my part. I'm not fuming over the issue, I just consider it discourteous. Linking to the image as modman has done, rather than hotlinking, is the better practice.
