In the early 80’s, I had a customer that owned a mid 60’s Gibson SG. Detonator pick ups and the active mid range control Now, before I go any further I want to back up a bit. Now I was curious….(let’s see… hmmm… thousand’s instead of tens… my name perhaps in a nationally distributed catalog….) OK! Eventually, I was put in contact with the Westone product manager at SLM. Expressing curious interest in the product he asked if I ever thought of producing the product nationally. All designed by myself and sold exclusively at my shop. I explained that the instruments in my shop had Detonator pickups and an active mid range control installed in them for sales demonstration purposes. That sparkle was not audible from those amplifiers when demoed with the same model instruments in other stores.
He would often comment on how the tone of the Crate amplifiers had “sparkle” when they were demoed in my shop. some sample settings that he could use when presenting the product to his customers. My staff and I would demo the products and show the rep. He also would bring in the latest and greatest of his Crate amplifier samples. In 1986, a sales representative of SLM began bringing his string instrument samples into my guitar shop for basic set-ups prior to showing them to his customers.
