whatever happened to people trying stuff before buying????? especially musical gear. i have never bought a piece of gear without trying it (except for the empress trem.. no regrets
) ps. i live in india, limited availability of gear etc).. people can say all kinds of things about gear and it don't mean much to me till i try it out. sound samples can be misleading too, so how can we depend on hearsay??? the internet has made people buy a lot of stuff they may never use. try products firsthand if you wanna buy them (there is a real community beyond the one on the internet.... just saying)... i would obviously want to promote my own products if i had any, but that should be considered by the buyers in the first place.....so much importance should not be given to gear promo or the people behind it. IMO
