He doesn t mind throwing shade on certain builders and seems eccentric enough to be entertaining. He doesn t call any forums out specifically but it seems like he hates The Gear Page, which should be a requirement for everyone who has any business in front of a microphone. The title is pretty clickbaity, but I do think there is some good advice in there. Most importantly, he s suspicious about the boutique craze and is pretty realistic about the massive amount of grift that happens in that market, so you won t hear him promising the sound of ˜angels singing on the treble strings or any such bullshit. His fees seem really reasonable, which I think says a lot, considering that a lot of these paypigs are suspicious of any amp they don t have to pay a shit load for.
