You forgot the pickles.

Sweet or dill?

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

Sweet or dill?

Doesn‘t matter. Just pickles.

 

[James Freeman]

Oh look, it's Rabea again.

 

[laxu]

Seems like sensible improvements but a very unexciting release.

 

[Life Eats Life]

Do people even buy new amps anymore??
Yeah,the occasional new amp purchases but I’m
seeing a highly selective pull-back.
There’s still dude’s goin’ all out..,
-but not herds of dude’s.

So the end is here,Revelations type sh*t etc,
the banks have dismantled..
the planets going to stop rotating..
-sell me your CCV

Yep I’m one of those dudes. When I was younger I could never afford new amps and I pined over several for years that were unobtainable. Now that I’m older, I have more capability to obtain these kinds of amps, so when a manufacturer releases something epic, sometimes I buy new.

 

[Jarick]

Well the demo video was pretty damn cool. Can’t imagine what it would take for me to buy an amp though.

 

[Life Eats Life]

I actually had the Kraken pedal.
Pretty sick.
HERDS of gain.
MEGA-punch.
It has that sorta’ weird tight bottom-end
response.
That pedal CRUSHED through the Headfirst Alta.
Built extremely well.
-wimps..walk home.

It might just be my age, but there's really been no 'new' amp brands that have made me think they could deliver me something a Fender/Marshall/Mesa/Peavey couldn't. Everyone's just makin' different (and often great) modded Marshall variations and shittier copies of Mesa's and Peavey's.

It's true. No even subjectively true either. It just is.

It's also why a proper understanding of human psychology, and how we are triggered
in ancient ways by our constant evolutionary imperatives, is crucial in keeping me from
wanting to lick every turd released in the hopes that I discover some chocolate in
the mix.

The one time I actually want someone to AI art a post.

Working on it, Drew.

I'm from N Ireland so I was always quite partial to snatch.

I bet you are. You tart.

I'd add two to that list. Here in Britain there are Orange and Matamp, who make absolutely stonking amps. I used to think they weren't really my genre, but then I noticed at one point a lot of the bands I love use these brands, notably Cult of Luna and Bossk who are probably two of my all time favourite bands; they each use Orange and Matamp.

As it turns out, Bossk are also Mesa users:

Do not even get me started…
-a loser is a winner who played one more hand.

Think of how RAD an amp fest would be with a poker game flowing in the courtyard.
Need a break from jammin..bring some of that
to the table.
CCV owners are fervently encouraged to bring
their CCV’s for the all-in moment.
CCV’s for EVERYBODY!

Btw..I’ve invited the legendary “Frank Booth”
and y’all better believe we’re goin’ on a JOYRIDE.
Wait for it..THIS RULES

 

[Deadpan]

Sounds like a compressed Dover.

 

[GTR37]

I like the EBMM Sabre?

I do to , but I am not sure the fascination w gold hardware , I would much rather black or nickel
But then again it’s not my guitar

The Crappin™

I thought that was Lee's nickname.

That Martin Kidd interview... better than Ambien.
