David Szabados - Editorial Director David has been passionate about music, guitars and the tone that goes with it, since the age of 11. Largely put together as a "labor of love" site, David's goal with LegendaryTones was simple: To help people out with information about tone whenever possible so they can avoid many of the frustrations he himself encountered over the course of many years.  Now in its sixth year of operation, LegendaryTones has grown in content and readership and he hopes it will continue to help site visitors for years to come. David works in corporate communications at Seagate Technology and is also President of Legendary Tones manufacturing, maker of the Time Machine Boost pedal. He is a published author, and has written for industry trade magazines in the computer field such as Computer Technology  Review, Storage & Entertainment, ISP Professional, Storage Inc., and Computer Retail Week. He has a wife and two young daughters - who will have quite an arsenal of music gear to use if they choose to take up the interest. Scott Smith - Editor-in-Chief Contact Scott Scott has been involved with music in some form since he was a young teenager, starting first with the sax, then moving onto drums and then guitar.
