Description
I've been playing guitar since I was 7. I'm 31 now. I distinctly remember how it happened...my brother was in a high school rock band, and they were practicing at our house one day. I was enamored by the guitarist...He had a Gibson Flying V, and they kept practicing the same song over and over..."don't tell me you love me" my Night Ranger. Sad but true! That is the point that started it all! My Grandparents were even in a band in their youth, and even received quite a bit of radio play in their day. So I guess in one way or another, I was bitten by the music bug genetically.
I always have been kind of a 'gear geek'...always trying different guitars/amps/effects to achieve certain sounds. It wasn't until 2001 or so when Paul Weller (FiremanFx) modified a pedal for me, and I was amazed at how much better it sounded. I immediately opened it up, wondering what he had done to make it sound so much better...
That is what sparked my interest in the Effects modification world...I had always been good with my hands and a quick learner, so I dove in head first and read, and read, and read some more. Then I bought several different effects and tested other's ideas, as well as my own. I was astonished at how one capacitor or resistor could make a pedal have much more bass/mids/treble/distortion/etc.
