It has never been my intention to be pretentious. I think it's sorta inevitable to come off that way when every comment aimed in your direction is a direct challenge to justify your purchase of and love for your instruments. I sing their praises because I love them and I defend them for the same reason.

I think it's more pretentious to preach about your "insider backstage knowledge" as if we've never hung around after a show and seen the men behind the curtain, or read interviews or watched lengthy YouTube videos dissecting every guitarist's rig in excruciating detail, from guitar to backline. No matter how much you like it, I will never put a computer between myself and my audience if I care about an authentic tone. If I don't, no prob I have a PODHD, let's jam.

It's also very funny how many people claim "nobody cares" about this or that, or that I don't know how I'm really being treated in this thread as if it isn't clearly obvious to everyone that they do, in fact, care enough to post and I know exactly what's going on here. It's GBS 2.1, realposters need not apply.

So I'm realposting. All I have to do is remain earnest and honest and it's infuriating people.
