Oas, I'm done with the techie talk, so yung rants mo na lang sagutin ko.
Ito ang problema mo kung hindi mo pa alam. Just because you've got the dough to collect boutique gears you think you can dictate what other people can and cannot do. I dared to build a tube amp, sabi mo wala akong alam sa tone dahil hindi ako exposed sa boutique amps like you even if I already said I know the tone I want. That was the first time I told you not to impose your own limitation on others. I dared to mod pedals, sasabihin mong I cannot do that because I am not an expert like Keeley. Well, duh! Unang-una, you were the one who placed me in league with Keeley by comparing me to him. Funny really coz I never thought of myself that way. You may not realize it but It's flattering in a way. I may be executing Keeley mods, pero I never thought of myself as someone who is already in league with him, kaya thanks talaga dude! See my delight in lecturing you about wave soldering.
Now, you claim you read Tonequest so you have info on Keeley's mod process. That's good. So how come you already criticized my modding skills when you do not have any info yet on how I do it? E ngayon mo pa nga lang ako tinatanong about my modding process. So nauna na yung angas mo, na wag ako mag-mod dahil wala ako sa status ni Keeley (yet

)?
Oas, I think you get some sort of a high from dwelling on the fact that you have the money while others don't. Personally I have nothing against that, pero I hope your money can buy you comprehension. Para maintindihan mo rin lang ang whole picture, yung mga taong nagpapa-mod sa akin cannot spare $10000000 million thousand that you have to pay for Keeley mods. In other words, hindi ikaw at mga tulad mo ang target market ng tulad ko. Copish?
Now do not take it against me if I go on my personal quest to de-mystify things that used to be the toys only of the ultrarich . That's what engineers do and I know that in business, actual cost per unit is but a minute part of the price. So I made use of available resources to get as close as possible in executing my Keeleys, Marshalls, Rats, etc., commoditizing these and hopefully bringing them into the hands of more and more musicians who normally cannot afford to spend $10000000. That's a personal conviction, my calling, at wala ka ng pakialam pa diyan.
You putting me in my place by your arsenal of gears? Tsk...babaw, this can only be insulting and at the same time gratifying to people who can only get validation in the amount of disposable cash they have. Fine, I'll give you that. No doubt about it, I have always thought you have great gears since you have the taste and obviously, the money to spend for these things. But, I have what you do not have, and that enables me to put you in your place whenever you spew out BS on things that you don't know about. (Like your take on PROMO, which showed you obviously know nothing about marketing.)
If you really want to put me in my place, sabi ko nga sa iyo, you only need to tell me na ikaw pala si Robert Keeley o si Seymour Duncan or Paul Gilbert, and I will revere you. That's the only type of currency I recognize. Pero kung isa ka lang palang wannabe who happens to have loads of money who likes to namedrop, pwede akong maiinggit pero it will be an abuse of my good nature to tolerate your sanctimonious preaching on things that I can and cannot do.
Finally I'm not even remotely mad sa panlalait mo ng gears ko. Mainly because your gears are now my benchmarks and targets for cloning.
Na-download ko na nga ang schematics ng Soldano mo.
Soon, more and more people will have your boutique tone. Magiging ordinaryo ka na lang tulad namin. Di bale, pag sumikat ako kahit dito sa Pinas or sa buong mundo, I will not forget to thank you.
