You want the truth? You can't HANDLE the Truth!! More than you need to know about power supplies

I'll tell ya what:  the last fucking thing I want to think about is a power supply.  Talk about a glamour-less experience.  The best one you can get doesn't do ANYTHING to your sound.  Nothing at all.  Makes it sound like its not there.  Here I am working my ass off to make shit that changes your tone for the better, and the power supply's job is to make sure it doesn't.  At all.  I should be making power supplies.
