Regardless of past sentences in past posts, the one above stands out for me. Why? See this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TooYpmELEVQ . Doug is my BIL and he was an architect in the Dallas area when he started building amps as a hobby. Now he has a lot of good stories about his work as lead designer for PRS amps. At least I think they're better than his architect stories.
