Electrical engineers tend to be suspicious of the subjectivity of
audio, not to mention the multitude of bad, bad circuits. Our world
involves measuring things, not asking drugged-out, hearing-impaired
rockers how they like the sound of our gear.

I designed one guitar amp. and that was plenty. Not only did some
goofy music store owners decide how it should work, but they wanted to
make all the money, too.
