Potential Mesa Reissues? IIC+ and Dual Rec

[RaceU4her]

amp sounds like shit

Fluff will not be getting one provided to him by Mesa.

I understand why, but that’s a massive mistake. He’s a well-respected long-term Mesa player that has definitely sold them more amps than 1 mistake should undo.

Never been a fan of Fluff's in the slightest even before all that personally

Fan or not, he has almost half a million subscribers and I have yet to see him be wrong about any Mesa amp.

Hey, on a related note, I was just trying to tag you in a MkIII thread at TOP. What's your latest alias there, if I can ask?

Absolutely nuts!!

Either way, continuing to send free gear to someone who started controversial unsubstantiated rumors about your company doesn't seem like good business, regardless of how many YT subscribers they have

I know if I was Mesa I wouldn't want anything to do with him after that stunt

And despite his subscriber number, most of his videos seem to average 2-8k views, with the occasional ones getting up to 25-50k

Hey, I don't make the rules.

Or do I???

I agree. Also most of his tones suck. Never been a fan.

Yeah I say keep the low gain stuff coming even though I'm at least somewhat a more "metal" leaning guy


Ola's video is going to sound awesome, but of course it is. It's going to sound just like every other video he's ever made

I've always wondered that about a lot of Youtubers. Do they tone match or have some kind of EQ curve that they overlay all the guitar tones with?

Wish I could get that sound.,

Never see any settings behind the curtain, so it's just speculation of course.

WIth Ola, Mooer Black Trucks chug. I bet he'd get a Fender Deluxe Reverb to chug if they'd sponsor the video haha.

Why is it a massive mistake? As others pointed out, he was spreading rumours about the company and so they won't be sending him an amp.

That sounds fair.

What will be really interesting is to see him pay for the amp (it's a Mesa Boogie classic!) and then presumably tear it down as not sounding like the originals. Because, Youtube. 1

People sound generally the same through different gear. It's All In The WristTM

This is true. I sound like me regardless of which amp I’m playing. If it’s my Metro I sound like me but a little tighter and raspy. If it’s my Orange I sound like me but a little tubbier on the bottom… which is probably more accurate to real life lol.

Someone tell that to 23-year-old me when I had a Gibtone guitar, a Zoom 505II and a 20-watt Stranger combo amp and I wouldn't believe you.

Fast forward nearly two decades later and I still don't buy that argument.

Yes, tone is in the fingers. But every element that goes into the signal chain, right from the plectrum material to the pickups to the cables you're using and everything else up to the cabinet really makes a difference.

I did read Nuno saying he played through Van Halen's rig and sounded like himself, so go figure!

Every bit does matter. And playing through a Fender Deluxe vs. a Triple Rectifier is going to have a definite difference in the outcome The core tone from the source is a HUGE constant though.

...and by constant; I mean constant mainly because my skillset peaked in 1999 and I'm here making a guitar sound like a kazoo 45% of the time

I think it is talent, skill and practice in no particular order, for example Ola has been recording himself for at least 15 years according to his YouTube channel.

This is a Mooer Black Truck demoed by Ola Englund.



And this is Mooer's own demo.



Obviously, it's all in the wrist. My mistake.
