Who is RG Keen?

[outoftune]

I know he created geofx and gives a lot of great advice around here. I also read that he has at least one EE degree. The only reason I am asking is because I am quoting one small thing I asked about Guitar output impedance for my senior project and wanted to give some hard fact. M.S., B.S., PHD in EE...? Or just 30+ years experience in guitar electronics... I am not doubting anything he says but just thought I should include something. Thanks RG or whoever may know and respond.

Well, you can't really tell what I look like from that. That's my "Bozo the Engineer" costume and makeup.

Funny, that's exactly how I pictured R.G.




Maybe a little less jolly.

I like to think of him as my on-line buddy and faithful confidante for some 17 years now....and occasional partner in crime.

I like to refer to him now and then as "Commander" Keen, but I take it that reference only has meaning for those of us who ever used a 286 AT!
