I would imagine his amps are way better than his attitude. I'd be
willing to bet I'm not the first potential customer he's chased off.
BFD. He's not the only guy out there building and/or modding amps. In
my 30+ years in the business, I've seen 'em come and go by the scores
- much larger and more successful companies, mind you. If Doug wants
to act like a pompous, arrogant prick and slag anyone else's opinions
that differ from his own (88% at last check), the world's also full of
pompous arrogant pricks. He's not even unique in that respect,
although is certainly is good at it. Let him think he's Leo
Roccaforte Marshall if he wants. But he can spare the
pseudo-magnanimous "I'm just trying to help you" bullshit. If you
have a different idea, he instantly become not such a nice guy after
all and immediately follows up with the "You came to me . . " crap.
I've seen him do it with others here, when it was clearly distorted
all to hell to suit his perspective. I may have been born at night,
but it damned sure wasn't *last* night!

Now, I hear that his sound clips actually are processed with reverb
too? (I couldn't listen because the clips I tried to access were a
different format. At least he's consistent.) *If* that's true, do
you realize what that would mean? Quite simply, that he's
misrepresented his amps as something that, in fact, they really are
*not*, because they don't *have* reverb, and don't sound that way by
themselves!!! Most impressive! So much for "honesty". Throw that
into the mix too, while you're at it, as well as double standards.

I have a feeling he wasn't starving when he decided he wanted to start
making amps. What's that got to do with it?? He sure isn't doing
*anything* which has the least influence on *my* bank account, my
gigging schedule, or the fact that my band is very well liked and
consistently rebooked wherever we play. Are you suggesting that this
indicates he's selling a shitload of amps? I've got a feeling he ain't
selling all that many amps, whatever his bank account may look like.
Nobody likes a "spoiled rich kid" with a snotty attitude. It puts
most people right off in a hurry.

I've got a limited tolerance bullshit. The man needs to acquire a
little class instead of acting like a two year old brat who doesn't
get his way. Who's got time for such behavior? It ain't like there's
a shortage of qualified people who'll actually *listen* to what you're
asking for in am amp, *and* help you try to get it - even if it ain't
their thing - without being insulting, to boot. When that happens, an
intelligent person simply goes to someone else and moves on about his
life. And mind you, there's also no shortage of intelligent people
lurking the Usenet, quietly observing.

Please do.

He's been playing for over 35 years and hasn't progressed past the
local bar and grill.

Please, please support him!

And what the fuck is it exactly that you do Jake? Googling your nom-de-
plum brings up a grand total of 1 hit. At least Kent plys his trade,
however much you disapprove. I don't even know Mr. Pearson... only
heard of him through these past school-boy pissing contests you and
your buddies have been conducting. But it has caused me to take a
listen to him play, and quite frankly, in my professional opinion (and
it is that) Kent is a player. So the fuck what if he's been at it for
35 years? His pedigree certainly outranks 99% of the contributors to
these newsgroups.

You should really find somewhere else to hang your shitty diapers
Jake. It smells... and it's embarrassing.

Play pretty,

Lewis

This thread is classic! Honest to God...with opportunities like those
presented by say, Bad Cat,
Mesa, Hughes & Kettner, etc. A guy with a hard johnson to flop out
$5G's saying "man, I GOTTA GET ME THAT DOUG MOJO" (especially after
having the opportunity to witness his AGA "act")...tells us all why
American Midol is even a TV show, gwb made it to US Govt. Prez.,
.=2E.and some AGA flatulent juice passing himself off (badly) for a homo
sapiens is losing the battle to refrain from flaming me for this
post :-). mvm
