No one does Amp / Gear fests anymore eh ?

Some one used to do a East Coast one every year .... way back ... HCAF days ...

What killed it ? Youtube ? Someone to organize it ?

old age?

I think we need @braintheory or @thegame to make this happen. I really want to meet both of them and several others out there.

I would be all over a PNW amp fest. I've got a few heads ready to rumble.

If only I wasn’t half a world away…

I went one in Tampa where that had a huge new church to use. About 20 people. Having a big room was awesome.

I’d bring the Abaddon prototype to an east coast amp fest for everyone to rip on

Great! Now we need someone to bring me there

I used to host one in our jam room every year, and it blew up when I started posting on here. I tried to throw a bigger one at my buddy's studio, but the roof leaked the week of the party.

The first one that Rig-Talk sanctioned had Wolfe Amplification as a guest builder, and Eric brought his Hellfire amp. It ripped. The second was supposed to have Kyle Rhodes back when he was Rhodes Amplification. I was bummed that one fell apart. I haven't done one since.

Headlessdeadguy and Techdeath and myself have mentioned it a few times. I will do a Larry video for Reza where I will dial it in with my feet … don’t worry I have model feet….

Attended one locally (Cleveland) probably 15 or so years ago. The host is a member here. Still buy from another attendee member and bump into both from time to time. I learned a lot and would love to attend another.

There was a guy, James Lugo, that did some serious ampfests back in the day. I think he is still around in North Carolina.

He had Reinhold Bogner and Dave Friedman there, lots of folks streamed those

I’m down to do one on FL

Was it mine back in a storage unit?

I still keep in touch with James. He moved out of NC and significantly downsized his studio. He’s been family oriented for a long time and still does studio work but I doubt he would host again like he did before. I can reach out and ask though?

I went to one at Mailman Dans house years ago. Was a great time.

 

[griff10672]

I suppose the Logistics are the big issue ...... probably too much space in between forumites ....

I know I wouldn't want to drive more than a couple of hours to get to one

I'd drive to Dayton to play a Larry though. Maybe we should just plan an amp fest at @Techdeth 's house and not tell him.

I'd drive all the way there just to see him shuck oysters with that BIG TOENAIL .....
