Mr. King, Would you mind asking me a question so I can tell people I was once interviewed by Larry King?

Ummm so I'm very interested in your entrepreneurial success and how that came to be... but, it's not the first question that comes to mind. What is it like having a lot of self made money as a college aged person? I'd have to assume your peers are generally broke, and you're probably a very busy guy given your ventures - but I hope you're taking at least a little time to enjoy being 21.

Jamie - huge fan of your product as well as the way that you built and run your business. I’m a fellow Ohioan and I hope I get to take a tour someday. I have a few questions:

1) I’ve taken up pedal building and modding and to be honest I enjoy building more than I do playing. I’ve decided I eventually want to build/mod professionally. Aside from just taking the leap of faith you got any pro tips?

2) it’s no joke that your staff is building these circuits by hand, like these aren’t simple builds. How many pedals is a team member building in a day. I’m assuming some of the fuzz boxes aren’t that tough, but like how many avalanche runs can a dude/gal build in a day?

3) when was the first time you were blown away that an artist was playing one of your pedals. Like “oh shit _________ is playing one of my pedals”

OH And here is a picture of MY EQD BOARD that I’m absolutely crazy about, i lose myself in this thing, it really inspires me to play - so thanks for that!

Some of your estimates on cost are awfully high. Also, you're overlooking cities which have co ops to recycle and reuse old parts. I've flipped 2 80s Schwinn's for around 120 a piece. Far and away better than everything available at that price point.

Oh after you factor in labor a restore would be several hundred no problem. You tube videos, co-ops, and DIY are the move!
