Welcome to Hermetico Guitar's Blog!
This blog contains always growing information related to Electric Guitar World.As an enthusiast of electric guitars, I am always after my tone. This leads me to test variated gear, including: guitars, amps, tubes, speakers, pedal effects, cords, cables, jacks, strings, electronics, audio software and plugins, studio gear and, whatever you can imagine related to Electric Guitar World.
This blog allows me to keep safe the information related to my own tests, as well as any other information that I am interested on, while chasing my tone.
Most of guitarist are following the same path, at different speeds so, maybe some of my findings, thoughts or tricks can be of your own interest.
Who am I?
Just a guitar enthusiast, with recognized skills to design complex (and simple) electric diagrams for electric guitars. I designed a lot of circuits for free to Seymour Duncan Forum's members for about 2 years.
I leaved the forum (and deleted about 2500 messages) when I realized that some luthiers were abusing of my goodness, making me to work in their designs that they planned to charge to their customers!.
I couldn't stand that situation: me working for free for someone that will charge an expensive fee to his customer for my work!!!. Really weird.
Since then, I am still offering my skills to everyone but, never ever for free. I have not a price list. I give you the oportunity to choose what is a fair transaction.
You can read details on all this in the Page labeled "Guitar Diagrams Design".
I am not a professional player and, I don't consider myself as a great player but, I am experienced with lot of guitars, amps, tubes, pedals, software, etc and, I digged in some Audio and Studio concepts so, maybe I can be of help to you.
I am not sponsored by any Brand, in any way. My opinions are very personal and are based in my own experience with gear and sounds. I always try fair play when writing the results of testing any gear and, when trying to write some article about some particular subject related to electric guitars.
I am not perfect.
My mother's language is Spanish so, I appologize in advance for any language related issue. Feel free to write me any comment or correction that you find necessary. I have to learn so, your comments and corrections will be welcome.
When I am digging in some particular subject, I try to go as deep as my overal skills allow but, always remember that I am not an expert in: luthery, electronics, physics, audio or whatever other discipline out of my profession (IT Professional). Therefore, if you find something incorrect in my entries, don't hesitate to correct me. Your feedback will be very welcome.
How this blog will be Organized
This blog is my third version. I ran first version in English language, for about 2 years and half, with a nice amount of visits, feedback and Diagram Design requests.
My second version was a try to do the same in Spanish language, as an experiment, which results didn't satisfy myself.
For this third version, I wanted to group in a better way the information. Due to limitations of Google's Blog Designs, I cannot organize information in a more hierarchical way.
What you will find (under Blog's Title) is a bar with a few "Static Pages".
Static Page labeled Home is the only page where blog entries will be posted (Google's limitation).
I will maintain more Static Pages (by example: amps, guitars, effects, accesories, audio, studio), with static information and links to some entries already posted on page Home. Considere those static pages as a Roadmap that will establish relationships between general concepts and entries in my blog.
Labels
Every entry in the blog will be classified according to one of this labels (labels can change in future):

Final note
I really hope that at least a bit of any information contained in this blog can be of your interest or help.
Everytime, I am trying to be as accurated as possible without diving in so deep in topics to bore guitarists that (as myself) aren't specialists in related disciplines.
Remember that English is my second language and, I am doing my best to translate my ideas to a foreign language so, expect confussing paragraphs, false friends and all that kind of stuff.
