3rd Power Amps Factory Tour- AWESOME!

[DrewJD82]

This was really endearing to watch, I don’t know that I’ve ever heard someone as passionate and articulate when it comes to describing abstract ideas, sentiments and ideas, but she nails it with the analogies.

When I saw the cost of the Dragon I immediately forgot about purchasing the amp due to its cost, but now I’m not seeing it as quite so over the top. The engineering aspects they’re kicking off here are impressive as hell. THIS is the definition of a customer facing company, from beginning to end and I’d have zero problems handing a stack of cash over to a business like this.



And this particular bit, right here aligns with everything I’ve tried to impart on employees since I got into management 20 years ago- (timestamped)


The way she gives props and accolades to her team is equally as endearing, that stuff only occurs when a leader sees their staff as peers and is truly grateful for the team they’ve created. I wish them all the best and I hope to own a Dragon in my near future.

I wish they still made the British Dream(?). That was a cool amp.

It was! They used to make those cool lunchbox heads, too, and tiny combos. Dream Solo(s).

I was in Vox/Dr. Z shootout land over a decade ago when I had the Dream Solo 3 AC head.

I ended up liking the Mesa TA-30 more.


Great amps, though. Nothing bad to say here!

Damn! Everyone should watch this just for the History of Tube Amplification for Guitar alone.

It's not much more, and is comparable to Friedman's BE100, or Bogners 101B.

I know I am super curious, and would love to play/hear one in person for sure.

I think I am getting used to the fact that 2026's $4,000 is relly just 2010's $2,000.

With them going to PCB I wonder if that’ll bring their prices down or not.

 

[newholland]

shes awesome! i love her- what an awesome goofy amazing human!

 

[V|J]

Yeah, great video. I think they have some cool designs including innovative pickups and speaker cabs.

I was a little surprised (pleasantly) they expanded from a garage to this apparently huge warehouse space.
I’m glad the collab w/ Joe Sat got them on the radar as she pointed out.

I'll watch this tomorrow from my computer. I love her amps!
