False alarm. TB5 would be proud.

Those units haven't been out long enough to have anything rust naturally.
I'm guessing salt fog.

Few years back I went to check out a guy's Mesa combo who lived in Imperial Beach.
If you know SD you know that anywhere near the coastline gets socked in with ocean
clouds/fog about 95% of all mornings.

Amp was flat out gross with corrosion of just about every visible metal part.

Yeah at this point; I'm over it. And I'm ok with that for now.

When I used to gig on the FL coast, every night without fail we'd break multiple strings. The salt and humidity can do some damage that's for sure!

lol my buddy tried to bring some pedals to our GC recently and was told they smelled like weed too much for them to buy.


i thought they had that ksr pa50 for 799. little smoke and rust.... id probably give them 650 for it.

You wouldn't believe the hoops you have to go through to label a speaker as OUTDOOR. You basically design as if the person lives right on the beach and the speaker gets rained on by salty ocean clouds 24/7 for the life or whatever you choose to put on the warranty.

Cigarettes and rust, I can deal with. On the other hand, if it smells like vape and soy, it's guaranteed it will sound like crap.

Yeah add shipping and tax and it was at 880something? It was easy enough to accept their "revised disclosure" and wrap up the transaction.

Scooped mids.

It's definitely pricey to buy just to try it out, for me. Used with an easy return policy, I'd be all over that, too.

It works out to $1400 Cdn + tax and shipping, here, to order new on Reverb.

I think I'm more disappointed than you are!

I am honestly so settled in with gear rn. There are some great things out there but the way my brain works and how things attract me just really whittle down that "I'm realistically going to shoot for this piece" list down to almost nothing. I think a new guitar out left field has probably the best chance to catch my eyes as something new that isn't "fixing a current problem" for me?

Theres one by me for $525 thats been sitting for a while

Go get it and send it to me

I hate both Thornton, and shipping amps, but if your serious, PM me - more than happy to help a hommie out

Much appreciated! Let me think on it. That price is great. But I talked myself out of it when the other option got smoked out of the discussion

Yeah. At this point I'm even having trouble justifying replacing the Ozempic'ed 335 knock off...

It simply wasn't the right color and obviously something was going to come up to prevent the purchase.

Humidity’s the worst for speaker cones

Two pages and not a single mint vs. menthol joke.

Rookies.

Its funny how quick we can sour on a piece of gear we've been all about for days/weeks/months prior. Been there.
