Rob Chapman "joins" Atomic Amps ..... "major new" release coming very soon

[GTR37]

I would say once you know who is on Toms incredible team it will become more obvious , some people in the industry sound like they have some ideas

But for shilling there are far worse BEA comes to mind but even he has calmed done

It’s funny. I saw a video he did about improvisation yesterday, and thought cool, no paid promotion, just Bea playing, great! And then right before he got into the heart of the topic, “and before we dive in, if you like this shirt, I just released it on my clothing line, go to XYZ and check it out”

The difference between these gear guys and the crap my kids watch on YT like Preston Playz, Unspeakable, Ryan’s World etc. is rapidly shrinking. Same approach, different topic and target demographic.

Going back to the video in the OP, a cynic might wonder why Mr Chapman is only able to use all of these amazing Atomic products now that he's "part of the family". Was he too skint to purchase and use them during the preceding 8 years? I mean, if it's that good, surely ... but no, it must be something else, it would never just be situational marketing hyperbole. That would be an abuse of the social media friendship that we have formed (sic).

Maybe later. Let's see what the "super-human cool team of people" have come up with once it is actually available for purchase.

If it’s a team of 40 engineers from Finland that were let go last year
I am out

I can only think of one guitarist who actually uses the Amplifire

Jumping from brand to brand to me reeks of desperation. You're basically only endorsing products based on who's paying you and not what you use or believe in.

This! Not once in his video announcement did I get the feeling that Atomic is a brand that he actually believes in.

The entire vibe of his performance just seemed off and that it was something that he “just had to get done.” The reminiscing and flashback clips to tell his audience, “see, see… I have a history with Atomic and I’ve used their products!”

The whole thing just came off as very disingenuous. I’m not sure what he was trying to accomplish other than “seal the deal” that he is 100% committed to the brand, but as you said, it reeked of desperation.

For me I am most interested in who this super human team is , if they are raving about it , figure it’s got to be a collaboration between some known players , trying to think who might be Advantageous to a modelling company

My kid loves that fecking Unspeakable channel, if I have to hear one more "I filled my aunt's boyfriends, sister's, vicars doghouse with ballpit balls, I'm so crazy" videos I'm gonna set Google's head office on fire.

Chappers and KDH have spent $25 and bought half of Atomic each. They'll shill it for a few months before releasing synchronised expose videos on each other in their continuing game of youtube reach-around.

Maybe he meant 'super human' like 'really nice folks'

Guy definitely leaves behind a lot of shilled and/or signature gear in his wake. Funny enough, if you look on the Victory Amps web page under their "Artist Family" section, they explicitly say "If you want to sound like Richie Kotzen, Rob Chapman or Danish Pete."

If you click through, however, you can clearly see that they only still sell amps associated with Danish Pete and Richie Kotzen. Rob's "Silverback" amp was discontinued quite some time ago. They still have a page for it under their "Legacy" section.....

I RMA'd both my gen I neo wedge amps back in May and given an approximate repair window of four weeks.

It's now the middle of September and I have been ghosted by Tom & the Atomic "support" team.

YouTubers have yet to figure out how to go to rehab, release an Unplugged album, and become “ambassadors.”

I could be wrong but I feel the silver back became the Kraken

Which is weird, since they were quick to respond to my question about the cab vs wedge, on their FB page. I guess they’re swift to answer potential sales questions, not so swift to answer support questions.

The struggle is real bro. (I hear that obnoxious laugh of his in nightmares)
