nasagot na ba 'to?
what exactly is it and what does it do? i mean, i know, it makes your guitar sound "bigger" and gives it "clarity"... but what does it do to do that?
Nats,
baka secret na lang ni Jobet ito kung whether it's the goats' blood and incantations or the electronics. 
Subukan mo na lang. Transpo money is all you have to lose if you don't like what it does to your guitar.
Itulad mo na lang sa pagpunta sa AP to try out the latest hyped effects pedal. 
I agree. You can't argue with results. But in my case, my curiosity about the device is not related to music, but to better understanding the physical world.
its sort of like that for me too. i'm not putting anything in my guitar if i dont know what it is. same way i wont be eating anything i cant identify.
Fellas, not long after BAMF scalarized a guitar of mine with good results a couple of weeks ago, I wrote him as I was quite sure of the essence behind the technology. I did promise him never to yakk about it publicly, as he deserves the best shot for getting it onto the market and making a tidy profit for all the effort and ingenuity he's put into it. Not to mention that he's gone about this business in a very decent entrepreneurial way -- go go go Jobet!
For those who "doubting thomases" about the device however, I will say this to ease your mind: it's based on very sound physics and electrical principles, notwithstanding the voodoo/mojo that some folks choose to ascribe to it. The technology has been around for sometime now and been in use quite extensively in many areas of endeavor, including within the music industry. In fact there are musical instruments that have already applied these principles, albeit with differing kinds of formulations, configurations, and degrees of control. The brilliance in this case lies in the following aspects:
• the fundamental formulation of the material which defines its voicing,
• the simplicity of application,
• the basic design and construction of the device,
• the minimal "intrusiveness" of the mod with regard to the stock appearance of an instrument,
• easy reversibility, and
• its cost to effectiveness ratio which makes it accessible and affordable to everyone wishing for a tone upgrade in this general direction.
At the end of the day, it's a technology that you would be able to identify and understand (yes there are sound physical explanations, delta), and nothing that would be harmful to yourself, the instrument, or the environment. Sorry guys.... no blood of endangered species spilled here.... should easily pass WWF, Greenpeace, and Haribon standards (making it ok therefore to eat, nate!
).
Am just beginning to run tests in several types of guitars to see if the inherent qualities that make these models tonally identifiable are preserved by the scalarizer. Just have been swamped at work over the last weeks and a bit short on time
. Promised BAMF a review -- I'll get to it soon....
One thought: I'm aware of several devices and gear currently on the commercial market that move one's guitar sound towards a certain sonic territory that the scalarizer seems to want to occupy. The descriptions on this thread are fairly good indications of that direction. The cool thing about this device is that it's much more economical than most any of that other stuff (which includes amps, guitars, tubes, pedals, processors, cables, guitar parts, pickups, capacitors, etc.). This is the product's competitive advantage, and for me, will be the root of its success provided it doesn't stray too far from this basic parameter. Keep the product close to P500 (or within USD$ 10-15 inclusive of all packaging, material, promo, and labor costs) and you have a surefire winner.
