This is someone who does amp in a box pedals so using that knowledge to create an actual amp seems a reasonably logical step. How many people say they want an amp, for example, with Fender cleans and Marshall drive? Wampler make pedals to that effect so put in the same big box with a sympathetically voiced SS power stage would be good, wouldn't it?
Not a criticism of Brian or the amp but it's not a very exciting new product ( to me).
Take a tubescreamer for example. How do you increase bass without adding additional opamps or gain stages or other active electronics? How do you do it by changing a few parts? Well, you can increase input/output caps (doesn't do much) or you can increase the NFB off the first gain stage by changing a cap. Not really rocket science. Since that's "just the way it works" does that mean it's been copied? Alternatively you can add additional circuitry such as part of a BAX stage along with volume recovery but that's way out of the range of most people modifying pedals for the first time. The idea was to bring simplicity to the average guitar player wanting to mess around with electronics without having to do any research or mess with any condescending forumites to ask how to do it.
I'll leave this ball in your court Sporky... please tell me how you'd like me to make things right with you. I thought this was all worked out years ago but it seems you're still holding a grudge. I have no interest with arguing with an anonymous user over the internet. Email me @ brian@wamplerpedals.com, shoot me your phone number and I'll give you a call and we can work things out like grown ups and stuff
I understand it's not what most of the market thinks it wants, but I assume you aren't going to be making a vast number of them anyway. And if anything, a high-headroom clean amp that's a great pedal platform should be precisely what a high-quality solid-state amp is best for - not that it sounds "as good" as a tube amp, but that it should be possible to make it sound *better*. Especially when they have real advantages for headroom, weight and reliability as well.
If you build it, they will come…

That's not a put down, though. I definitely prefer tube to solid state as well where sound is concerned, whether that's because of programming, or stubbornness is up for debate haha
You most definitely didn't have permission for the soldering guide you stole - it was the guy whose work you stole who told me about what you'd done in the first place.
You never apologised then, and even now you're acting as if I wronged you and it's up to me to fix it.
So if I understand correctly, the very very very first little ebook thingy, back in 2003 or so, I wrongfully copied/pasted someone else's "How to solder" guide in there. Ok, I'll accept that. I'm sorry.
Now, how do you want to let this go and move on from here?
My plextortion is incredible.
Although do me a favour, make a small tube amp with an effects loop.
His Youtube channel is informative and fun, and he seems an honest guy.
He's putting himself out here, and seems pretty reasonable
