License

This device is licensed under GNU GPL v3. This means you are free to take this device and make any changes you like and then share those changes freely, so long as you make the source for your changes publicly available. This benefits everyone - because if you make some improvement, we can all benefit from it.

However, you cannot distribute compiled versions. In this context (a hardware device with software components), this effectively means you

a) cannot sell any physically manufactured device of any kind - either as parts or assembled.

b) cannot charge money for access to any source, CAD files or software components that you choose to distribute that are based upon this project.

If you break these simple rules we will force you to be front row at one of our floor shows, where we can full-throat scream right in your sad little face.

How can we support you?

Indifferent Engine is a band, so go check out our music here: spotify

If you're having a crack at building an echo, maybe buy some parts from us on our merch store.. All money goes back into the band for funding musical endeavours and more weird, open source pedal designs.

You can also follow us in the usual places: instagram facebook tiktok youtube

And buy a T-Shirt while you're at it, you bunch of scallywags.
