I have stopped being surprised at the guitar player who spends $3,000 on the latest boutique amplifier, and plugs in his Mexican Stratocaster strung with light gauge strings through a Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal.

Thanks PRR!

I think the calluses on your typing fingers may suffer from not having to type up remedial electronics to bone head amp builders like me as much  :angel


I always have enjoyed your spin on the how to's and why's of things. usually takes me a day or two to wrap my head around the technical aspects of some of your posts, but I love the AH HA moment.... and the patience you have to explain it again :smiley:
