  1. And again, I hope someone will learn something.

  2.  @michaelnorth3666  yeah. I could bet my ass it's the same in guitar electronics. Amps, effect pedals... Level-headed zero BS makers are in the minority, while arrogant ego-driven types like Mike Fuller (who left the industry, taking his business down) or Randall Smith are sadly the norm. It's no longer about who makes a better one - it's about who shouts louder or can drive the manufacturing cost lower, and quality will always suffer here. The makers who care and stick to their guns will be outpriced and pushed out of business, sadly. That's what happened to Fran.

  3. While any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, as Arthur C. Clarke famously stated... any bullshit claim sufficiently blown out of proportions by sly snake oil salesman type marketeers is also indistinguishable from magic.

  4.  @traolin5877  yeah, being a nerd who builds tube amps, I really need to say that it doesn't have to be all that expensive, if you know were to get your stuff.

  5. Fuckin' unhinged. When are those companies gonna learn... Repeat after me, corporations: When someone buys your product, it's THEIRS, not yours. They decide what to do with it and where to take it when it breaks down. Stop trying to barge in and make that decision for themselves in a most fucked up way possible, by silencing the people who fix the gear and show others how to do it. And it's been demonstrated time and time again that Youtube is way too uncritical about the claims they get. Claim comes in, it's automatically acted upon, not even reviewed by a living human being, let alone one who, unlike me, knows the ins and outs of DMCA and copyright law. Regarding PCB layouts, are they protected if they're not reproducible? I mean, if someone reverse-engineers the board and posts the results verbatim as gerber files or a design in some EDA software, it's a clear case. When someone draws a rough sketch of the traces on some part of the board but not even the intricate details of the layout (power / GND / internal signal planes, trace distances for controlled impedance, lengths for delay matching etc.), I wouldn't even consider it reproducible enough to violate copyright or patent laws. Mend It Mark is dang good at his work, well worth checking out!
