well that sucks I spoke to him on the phone the other day. seemed like a cool dude.
I think I have his number or cell even . need it? he needs to make it right. How can he not realize how something as little as a pedal can wreck your biz.

thats one cool thing about the internet. INFO.
 
Amps are too much money including shipping and time invested in finding it in the first place plus I bet that douche nozzle reverse engineered Scott's pedal since why else would a builder of metro kits want it.

Yeah strong worded but screw him for screwing my boy.
 
speaking of treble boosters you guys ever built the screaming bird? thats a really cool pedal.
I think electro harmonix has it now. It was an oldy from way back I built it and liked it better than a rangemaster type thing. It had a cool upper mid, way upper mid spike. very vocal treble type booster. its easy to build too. like 5 parts on the board.

I've often thought about calling him again but I feel as if Ive been there done that. Everytime I've reached out to him I've gotten a bunch of lies or excuses and the end result has always been the same. I think the real problem is that he tried to reverse engineer the pedal and he screwed something up or mispaced some parts and that's the real reason behind all of this BS. The real thing that sucks is that it was an original first seried CC pedal and they are no longer being made.

I thought he was a cool guy too but there definitely is a flake factor with him.

Scott, he most definitely did want to Reverse engineer the pedal and I didn't mind him taking a look at the pedal because I figured it would be good having someone know the design just incase they were discontinued (which they are now!)

I also know that he spent time with Curt Mitchell trying to reverse engineer Curts Langner modded Marshall. I don't know what the outcome was but rumor has it that Curt is not to keen on John anymore....HMMMMMm I can't say that I know if that rumor is true but it sure sounds like it could be and I would not doubt it ;).

I still have mine if you ever need it, I have to find the other caps for it since they are in some plastic bag somewhere in the mancave ;)

Yeah, funny how some of these "builders" contact Cameron and Fortin owners asking questions not thinking that word would get out. Just increases the dope factor and more reason to look elsewhere. Next fucker that contacts me I will just say send $1000 out and yeah the amp is in the mail :lol: :LOL:

"Digiasshole has my money!!!!!!!!!"

" Oh you mean the reverse engineering fee to steal someone's work.........that money?" :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:

Again worded strong but ya know what? They have it coming.
 
This sucks. We talked for an hour Saturday about modding an slx for me.. really liked what we decided for it... but now...... fuck!

Friedman won't mod an slx... jerry don't like em... maybe email fortin? I can talk to Zack again...
Just got a woody for a modded slx... there cheap and wicked... like me! :rock:

Id be willing to bet that you would be ok with him since he want's to get his business off of the gound and he can't really afford negative attention . So in other words, Id feel confident that he would do right by you but I just wanted people to know that his past record when he had nothing to lose wasn't that great lol :lol: :LOL: :rock:

Yeah Stan, He got me good and I guess you noticed that he disappeared from the metro forum a while back?... Well methinks there was more to it then him just deciding to leave lol :yes:
I doubt I'll ever get it back because Id be willing to bet that it's long gone by now.

Yikes! I hope so, we were looking to revoice, split the preamp in half, (footswitchable!) ppimv, buncha cool shit for a decent price....
How would you safeguard? Paypal receipt, with serial number? Shipping receipt signing?

If you do decide to go with him, Id use every availble precaution just to keep him on the up and up. Paypal would be a good way to go with the protection plan and most definitely get a signed sig for delivery.
 
Jon Wilder is close to finishing my Marshall amp mod. He sends me pictures and updates every other day. Has been great to deal with!
He wants half of the money for parts to start the mod and the other half when he is done and ready to ship the amp back , all thru Paypal.
So far Jon has been great to deal with and has answered atleast 20 questions of mine. :D

I think he is going to get really busy once the word gets around. If you are thinking it, I would recommend getting an amp to him to mod before the wait time gets crazy long like Cameron.

Gain Freak, I sent you a PM .... Jon wants your e-mail or phone number or for you to contact him so he can make things right with you. Sounds like the pedal issue happened around 2004, and he ended up going on a tour and neglected to take care of a few things before he left.

While I was talking to Jon, he admitted to not handling business as good as he should've years ago when trying to start his business back in 2004 I believe he said.
I believe he will do extremely well this time around though. Check out how neat his work is in his pictures on his website. And the soundclips are great and not nearly as good as it would sound in person.

As I said before, Jon is a great guy to deal with and I'm pretty sure I will have my perfect 2 channel Marshall when I get it back and I will post my true thoughts in a couple weeks on the modded Marshall.
 
Not sure why everyone's throwing around the "Just builds and tweaks a metro kit??" A few builders do that so not sure why this guy is harangued for doing it?? The Friedman Marsha is just a tweaked metro kit and nobody seems to mind?? but thats besides the point...keeping someone's gear and making empty promises for years just blows but sounds like maybe it will be made right.. :thumbsup:

It's just the principal of the thing and actually you might want to check your sources because.... More then a few people do mind. :yes: :lol: :LOL:
With that said, I don't consider Daves Marsha a Kit because he doesn't use all Metro Parts. I consider Dave using Metro as a parts vendor :D

In reality...and To be fair and honest with you it was just a dig because I was pissed ;)

I'm going to E-mail Jon tonight and see if we can squash this ;)
