Looks amazing!! Mike's work continues to impress me every time!! :rock:
 
Mike is probably having a cup of coffee all excited to post that the Meathead is now on the site, of course somebody has to be the kill buzz :lol: :LOL: :D

Man that amp is one bad mother.
 
I tried not to post but my will failed me. :no:

haha, I have played one and you have not! haha. :lol: :LOL:

Killer amp for sure. :yes: :thumbsup:

You and Ralphie should be the official demo boys at next year's NYC ampshow :yes: :thumbsup:

Bring that awesome cab of yours as well.
 
Waaay too many knobs for me. :scared: I really dig the Fortin sounds I've heard, and I realize this is the most versatile (6 channels) offering, but I can't get past the knob explosion. Yes, I realize they are well organized and simple to use, but its an aesthetic thing for me. :doh:

Same goes for other brands that have a plethora of control knobs on the front panel. I could imagine these knobs could be accidently adjusted in transit, leaving you to have to check quite a few settings...and my experience with soundchecks tells me there will not be much time to do so.

Yes, having separate controls for each channel is required (I really hate shared controls that change two or more channels at once limiting flexibility), and I like the convenience of being able to quickly tweak settings, but it seems there could be a way to consolidate the number of knobs?

Just my opinion of course, and I'm used to my preamps that let me tweak and save presets which is the interaction mode I prefer. The Meathead is a very impressive work of technical engineering and art of sound IMO, and if I still did metal and needed the versatility it would be on my short list, near or at the top.

Kudos to Mike, FWIW, I dig the sounds of your amps compared to everything else I've heard at any price point. Excuse me while I kill some GAS. Please don't post clips of your amps with Rickenbackers. ;)
 
Amazing!

I have had a chance to play this several times at Mike's house it's quite amazing and awe inspiring, so I haev to have this amp! It's the be all end of amps for!

Both Meathead and Bones can cover any style of music. Natas will be Mike's Metal only amp.

While I love all the Meathead tones I'm also a two channel kind of guy.

Man, you're so stuck in 1986. Get with the times....

I'm stuck in 1989 :lol: :LOL: :doh:
 
So will there be a two channel amp coming out?
Sorry if this has been stated already :lol: :LOL:
 
This is absolutely the most killer, over the top, amp concept I've ever seen. I'd love to try one of these out sometime!

Street i believe. The Bones really sounds like a killer amp, especially the way Dave described it. Tons of gain yet it sounds clear no matter how it' set is what i was told....DROOL.
