Yeah.
I finally made it through the 17 pages, and by page 4 I remembered why I quit reading MetroAmp forum.
Yeah.

For the life of me, I cannot comprehend why more people haven't listened to what Allen is saying about these tuning offsets.
I got a Peterson Stroboscope tuner and tried them back in 2014 and had my mind blown. The implications were astounding to me. Why did Ed do this?
Why the hell would he go to these lengths to make these minute tuning alterations on each fucking song
When you try them, you realize what he was doing, and why.
Allen is a weird dude. After I figured it out, I tried to talk to him about via PM on MetroAmp forum. He flatly told me, "I don't care to speculate as to why Ed tuned this way. I just want to document this info accurately."
I bought tubes from Terry, and I tried to buy a transformer from Chris. Aside from that, I never had much interaction with those two guys.harddriver wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 5:03 am WEIRD!!!!!!

Allen said in the live chat of the video in the OP, the "golden age" of MetroAmp was 2008~2010.. I strongly disagree - and I have told him as much.harddriver wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 5:03 am Not surprising he always seemed a little off but I didn't interact with him too much, I wasn't on there as much as I was from 2005-2010 after 2010 I would drop in there now and again, without Ralle, Rgalpin, BMF5150 and others that made it fun they next generation wasn't into sharing info and trying outlandish things, once Rockstah started pimping the mods 5 and removing all his posts and being a dick to everyone all of a sudden it was kind of offputting really.
And this is key.. Unless a person has tried these tunings, matches up the correct tuning with the specific song, and can play the songs using the same chord voicings Ed did, none of this will make any damn sense to you. I totally get that.harddriver wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 5:03 am I believe you but deliberate seperate tuning for each song that's pretty labor intensive for a first album kind of thing, he definitely used one tuning for live shows, I tried the cent tunings that Gaustad proposed the the higher strings were way too low at -9 cents at least by my tuner.
