Dave is a very well-known and popular regular there. Not only is he a colorful personality with strong opinions and a wry sense of humor but he is also respected by forum members as one of today-s greatest guitar-amplifier designers and manufacturers.

The fact that he spends time on the site and is willing to give his advice and opinions about topics of interest to forum members keeps his products front and center in their minds and develops a buzz that no amount of advertising alone could buy, leading to lots of additional sales, sales that wouldn-t have occurred without Dave-s presence on the site.
