Bogner Ecstasy Red mini. So many rave reviews. I tried it over and over. Fizzy muddy mess. Hated it no matter what I did. I was so happy when I traded it. After that, any "vintage" multi hundred (if not thousand) dollar whatever. I don't care who used it on what album. No pedal is worth amp...

It's mostly my wallet. As a teen, I'd buy what I could afford. I tried plenty of brands with zero clue about the differences. It didn't matter. Strings were strings. These days, I buy what's on sale ahead of time. My guitars vary in scale length, tuning, 6 and 7 strings, so I can mix and...

Sonic stomp/maximizer are basically a 2 band equalizer. Lo contour is either 50 or 100 hz. Process is either 5k or 10k hz. It varies model to model. The newer pro adds a 675hz control.

Prs has only shared tiny bits. There is at least one hand drawn mt15 out there. It's only the lead channel and not 100% correct. I've seen insides of most the archons and the mt100. The USA built amps with turret style boards could be traced easily. I wish there were more schematics out there...

I really want to se a schematic of the archons. I traced out my mt15 and did some mods. I want to know how close they are.

The VTM mid switch adds a 0.001u in parallel to the typical 470p.

There are some EQ graphs here. The California has a wildly different graph and I'm wondering if it's actually correct. https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?p=280780&hilit=California#p280780
