Scalarized GAS
Maghapon akong tulog, dahil sa matinding hangover.
Albeit bein' online kaninang umaga, sobrang sakit talaga ng ulo ko, so ayun. Paggising ko, 4pm na. Then left agad para maka-visit ulit sa "temple of tone", and my GAS is attacking once again, but this time it ain't about second-hand pedals or modding pedals; but I wanted my two axes (Cliff & Syntyche) scalarized! >:E
FYI, this is how a scalarizer (both metalcore and crystal) looks like:

Before installation, I had my axes tested, to distinguish the tone before puttin' the scalarizers. I've realized na "tunog-ngongo" and "muddy", especially the RJ stock 7-string pickups. We played 'em only using the Fender amp's drive. And I had sir Anton (a.k.a. psychic_sushi) and sir Jobet (a.k.a. BAMF) suggest on what type of scalarizer should each axe utilize.
First, si Syntyche ang inoperahan.
They suggested to put a metalcore one for it. Afterwards, tinesting namin, and heto ang naging difference:
• More clarity, especially the low A (yes, naka-Drop A 'yung 7th string) lalo na pag palm muting.
• Mas "umuugong" (or should I say "dumadagundong") when I tested on clean tone. Especially on the neck position -- parang jazz ang dating.
• Hindi na siya "ngongo" -- "punchy" ang tunog when soloing.
• Overall, mas galit and aggressive!
Next naman si Cliff naman...
Had some difficulty, because I have to detach/install the strings, because the circuitry is beneath the pickguard. They suggested to have it crystal-scalarized, because it is EMG-powered (active pickups), and the pickup magnets are ceramic. And oh, during the process, we also "fix-cleaned" the pots, 'coz parang naga-grounded na siya (siguro dahil sa dumi... dunno), hence the minor annoying shortwire buzz. Then after installation, heto naman ang naging resulta:
• Dumagdag ang "attack", pero retained the twanginess.
• Mas litaw na ngayon ang clean tone.
• Sa terms ng twangy-ness, I think parang mas naging "twangy" siya, 'coz I tested some string-muting/funky riffs. Maganda at mas litaw ang "percussive tone" ng strings.
• Overall, mas naging "passive" ang tunog ng pickups -- much more real "Tele" to me! And dahil retained ang single coilness and dumagdag ang attack (and pagkauwi ng bahay, tested with my MetalMaster), versatile talaga for goin' vintage to hard rock to metal!
Pag-uwi, agad kong ginamit, at 'di ko mabitiwan itong mga gitara ko (until now), kahit medyo kinakalawang na ang mga kuwerdas nila. XD Deym, mas nakaka-in love talaga ang tone nila ngayon! 
Recap ko lang: so far I've spent some 2.5K for a DS-1 BAKEMONO mod (bukas ko pa makukuha -- na-delay lang ng 1 araw) and 2 scalarizers for my axes. That's the cheapest price of a second-hand BOSS stompbox, but so far I'm very satisfied with what I've got. No problem shoving out cash for the tone bargain; worth every centavo, I tell ya! 
And oh, mas magging mahal na itong mga scalarizers if ever mag-materialize na ang dealership & mass-shipping, and sealing the patent as well. Tiyak do-doble or ti-triple ang price, lalo na't the invention is gaining high popularity sa PhilMusic.

Acoustic Scalarizer
Oh, another thing that makes the "scalarizers" trend notorious: yet another cooked-up idea/mad-scientist conception, that is the Acoustic Scalarizer!

Lemme describe how amazing it is:
I observed their guitar testing w/ a fellow forumite Danny (a.k.a. floyd_nikita) with the latter's Fernandes neck-through guitar. Then sir Jobet just placed the scalarizer in contact w/ the head, and voila -- mas lumitaw ang riffs, kumapal ang tunog (as in parang dumagdag ang "mass" ng body)! Tapos nung tinanggal, balik ulit sa dati -- parang nagka-tone loss, I tell you. Matindi pa is, kahit saan niya dinikit 'yung scalarizer, lumalabas 'yung distinct effect niya, and at times nahuhuli namin na palapit pa lang sa surface, umeepekto na.
Oh, sinubukan din naming idikit sa speaker ng amplifier, at gumagana pa rin 'yung tone enhancement! O___O And 'di talaga kami makapaniwala, maski nakapikit nalalaman namin na nakadikit o hindi. Grabe ang significance nung scalarizer. I'm lucky to be one of the early witnesses of the demo of such invention!
Iba talaga ang Filipino ingenuity, yebah!
Sana marami pang ganyang Pinoy, noh?
