Well, that sounded scary to me to, what a odd question to ask in a 
interwie!Hmm, since you say that it was him who made the P5,
it might have been the founder him self Dave Smith or somthing!

fiddle or know how to do analogue design??

is , he "developer just fiddled until it half worked"... >;->
