Ah. Another controversial figure (brace yourself in case you didn't know). 

Ok now I'm worried

I've been told I have a controversial figure.
(This started a few months after my six-pack abs turned into a pony-keg gut...)

Controversial??? I was introduced to Aspen when he released his Space Station V3 amp. I was one of the first purchasers  of his product and corresponded and spoke to him several times, plus he is a frequent poster in Keyboard Central in the thread about his product
He took care of an issue with the amp personally and id committed to his customers satisfaction
He has had many setbacks in his life with his relationship with Fender  and what they did to him, even with his latest baby he had curves .
He is a spiritual religious dude and although he wont proselytize, he will discuss his convictions and tribulations if you broach the subject.

Dupe post

Let's just say that I'm aware of the fact that there are others out there who have a rather different opinion of him. That would be definition of "controversial".

Back in the 90's I was trying to restore an original Les Paul amp from 1952. It (the pieces) was is a box after being thrown down the stairs and destroyed. I managed to restore the amp over the course of a couple months, but it never would have happened with Aspen. He was the only guy on the planet that had a circuit diagram and he faxed it to me as a favour. That amp is still in use today. 
 
Whatever else he was/is, he was real helpful to me.
