Hello! I am a marginally reformed musician who was en electronics tech in the Army, 30 years ago. I've been building guitars for 25, building and modifying tube and solid state amps for about as long, and I McGuyver whatever I can! I've got a lot of practical 'blue smoke' experience and love this stuff. I have a home recording studio that is pretty intricate, and most everything in it was purchased used and broken, repaired by me, and has served me well.
