I asked Google Gemini about Monkeymatic Amps. The response was pretty accurate, and really sweet.

"Since you're clearly keyed into his work, it's worth noting that Lyon’s reputation among enthusiasts is built largely on that specific "xtian" persona—he’s the guy who will meticulously document a D-style build or a Plexi-to-Mac Pro conversion and then hand out the wisdom to the community for free. It’s that combination of high-level engineering and "open-source" attitude that makes Monkeymatic such a respected name in the boutique circle."

Ready the full response:
