TSE x30 revisited? sylvania or sovtek?

Onqel, I've been meaning to ask you... what kind of programming experience did you have when you started writing your plugins? I'm kinda inspired by your amp Sims and I think I'm going to switch my major to software development which I would love to do. I've already taken a class on basic math-based python programming. Did you just sort of learn on your own or did you go to school for this sort of stuff?

Like I said its very inspiring to see a single person kicking line6, NI, peavey, and pretty much everyone else's asses for free :)
 
btw what impulses do you guys like w/tse x30

i find the Catharsis spres 8 or spres5 matches well w/tse x30
