Boogie C+ reissue oscillation - Youtube done right

Yeah it's weird to see it keep happening. Everybody it happens to surely has the same access to all the stories we keep hearing, if not in even more detail, about how the exact same thing happens just about every time.

I wonder if it's just a case of ego. "I mean yeah it happened to all those other guys but come on, this is [company] and I'm me, and that's gotta mean something, right? I bet it'll be different this time I'm sure of it." **gets fired immediately after selling**

to me its a much bigger ego flex to simply keep the company that you built into something as big as Mesa, rather than sell it to a bigger company and then stay on as a consultant, which of course was gonna end in a weird ending leading to all the click generating speculation we've seen for how long now.. its just kind of a sad ending to me. a flex to me would be naming his yacht the "Marshall of the Waters" or some shit as he sails off into the sunset

Seriously. Built-in-amp spring reverb is such an antiquated, primitive thing. It also doesn’t go with anything high gain at all. I don’t even think of it as actual reverb simulation anymore really, but rather just some kind of vintage noise ambient effect. It’s almost in the same category to me as like a kind of band pass, AM Radio filter enshitification effect, just something that makes a guitar sound old and recorded by somebody who didn’t care what it sounded like.

Digital verb in the loop or in post is the only way to do it.

I say disconnect the IIC+’s spring box and throw it out.

This is an interesting hot take here.
You've got guys that will spend a nice chunk of change on things like the fender tube reverb unit, the peavey valverb, clones of these things, etc. So i'm not saying you're wrong, but there are tons of people (likely wearing tan pants) that are going to disagree here. They're use the word "Purity" to describe it, like literal tone nazis lol.
Me in my 20's probably would have disagreed, when i was spending as much time on forums as i was playing... but me at 42 would rather play with digital reverb that has a boat load of tweakable parameters, doesn't color the tone, crispisty clear modern digital converters, etc.
 
i couldnt even tell you if my iic+ had reverb or not until i just looked, and wow theres a reverb knob on the back :ROFLMAO:
 
i binge listened Randalls you tube page yesterday at work, and one thing he comes back to a lot is this whole concept of "creative chaos".
He doesn't "know what he's doing" the way a schooled engienner does. Hes more of a "playing in the sandbox" type.
He strikes me a very bright guy with a restless mind, but also a happy go lucky stoner. He seems to know about how to get high performance out of small packages (likely from his auto racing passion) and is unafraid of unorthodox solutions (cali high-on mind). With that said, it makes a lot of sense as to why techs HATE his work. they can think of a more "Textbook" way to acheieve what Randall did, and probably view his work as a series of lucky accidents.

Seems like the kind of guy that never really retires, he's probably posting these videos more because he's more bored than anything else lol.

What I usually hear from techs isn't that it's not "textbook", it's that the way Mesa did something is a broken way of doing it, or is prone to failure, or adds hours onto a repair job for no reason thus costing the owner more, and other stuff like that.

That would explain a lot.
