Tube amps are going away…. again.

[metropolis_4]

Why do these influencers make this topic so extremely opposing? Can't we have modelers AND tube amps?

Because $$

Get people arguing about it to drive more clicks/views to generate more revenue

My pants are gonna flap later tonight at band practice cuz I plug my modeler into cabs.

Powered by an amp! :)

The latest new thing and feeding the algorithm vids are boring af, I've unsubbed from many of those channels..Need more old stuff demos, I like Leon Todds older rack gear vids, who else does older (80s, 90s, 2000s) gear demos

I’m bored with gear demos. All gear starts to sound the same. I want to hear people play music, show their creative side, and it’s cool if I know or don’t know what gear they used.

I didn't watch it.

Me neither.

Absolutely Metro, you beat me to it. I was going to post the exact same thing.

Not pointed at you just the gist of the convo.. so far as the whole clickbait thing… I don’t blame them for trying to make money. People say “just play and write cool stuff” etc but we all know and so do content creators that alone probably won’t really drive the numbers to the point fast enough to being able to make a living doing it.

That said, I think a good YouTuber could find a balance and a creative way to get content done and not lean in so hard on the clickbait stuff. It’s gotta be hard to come up with that much content and not fall into the clickbait trap.

I’m not offended by the clickbait as much as I’m am the complete and utter BS that amps will die some untimely death because some young dudes came up to him and told him they haven’t even owned an amp and don’t plan to. Well duh… because you don’t know what you don’t know. I said I’d never smoke weed until I did.

Absolutely to all of this.

I can't stand that self-absorbed ninny and his clickbait nonsense. Go shave and show us what you are hiding.

The old chin via beard ruse!

Then grow some fucking tusks.

Remember that South Park episode where they talk about commercials will get to a point where you can't even tell it is a commercial? Even videos like this are a commercial, even if indirectly.

Oh come on… let’s not pretend he’s Glenn.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Hey! I saw a video where Glenn's talents were finally put to good use! Credit where credit is due!

I haven’t seen my chin in 20 years. I had a chin strap at one point, which is pretty much a face thong, that was as close as I got.
