I imagine with an EQ you could get any sound you want.
I checked ebay and there are no blades for sale.
I went to his website and there are no prices.
Are you suppose to call and send him money or what ?
I didn't see prices either, probably doesn't want to show his hypocrisy. He said he would sell them for half what everyone else sold them for.
Thats the rub, he claims the whole reason he started building amps was the "Cameron saga"
From his webpage :
The Story Of Blades Amplification,
After dealing with the shady ,greedy,thieving amp builders I had an amp stolen. It was an unfortunate thing but in the process of disappointment I found an inner voice telling me it was supposed to happen. It was for this purpose. To learn how to live in the now and be positive about everything. I experienced so much hate and drama for speaking up to try to get my property it sparked something. I couldn't fight for my amp legally because it was a civil matter and to take them to court would have been more than what I lost. A 1974 Marshall Superlead... So..
After failed attempts I started studying. I learned a nd learned and then learned more. I studied my ass off and made every mistake any the book. I never gave up and thru all the pain , struggle , heart ache , Blood swear ,tears and threats, Blades Custom Amplification was born ! Built like Tanks and 1/2 the price of my competition. I erased greed and ego from the equasion and don't have a fistful of partners to pay off. I'm for the Everyday guitarist who loves tone and wants to enjoy something that was previously only reserved for Rock$tars,From Legendary Producers to Experienced Rockers are Experiencing the Force contained in the Blades Amp line. Some amps you have to turn on.
A Blades will Turn YOU On !
The whole thing is a Hustle and a really lousy one, thats what i don't like.
He's not a David Bray or a Bill Landry ... the whole schtick is truly pathetic, has nothing to do with the tone of the amp.
To buy one of his you send him money [im guessin] and hope he sends you an amp which is like the core reason he didn't like any other builders.
I don't give 2 shits either way, the whole thing is Blaspheme.
