Just described the Wizard Amps experience in the first two minutes! Basically that for the larger population vanilla is a better flavor than something specialized, and the larger population will accept mediocre on the whole as it ticks off more boxes for them.

With amps I think it's also what people are used to hearing.
Most musos don't have a lot of money and therefore play the mainstream cost effective stuff rather than gear like Wizard.

A lot of the classic tones people know isn't from something rare.

Not to say rare isn't better or amazing... it's just different to what people are used to hearing perhaps

That was fascinating. Total geek video.

"My wife roasts cock" is just about the wildest opening line I've ever heard

You can tell Warren is having a moment trying to figure out how to “play” that amp setup.

I enjoyed that. I always wondered why ps 100 had two channels. Makes sense

I need to watch this later when it won't wake up everyone.

Is he ever going to build the UL or CLX again?

Who knows. The gp/di ir is already 2 years behind. They're becoming notorious for releasing a great product and stopping production for no reason.

I think the LXII power amp was supposed to come out 2012, their website even still said 2012, years after that passed. Almost a decade later, it came out.

I’m guessing power stations are their main money maker and everything else is low priority. That plus Stephen seems to get side tracked easy and just go off and do something else for a while.

There is currently about a half dozen products in development at Fryette. Steve does lots of work outside of Fryette all the time. Always has done this.
There has never been any real time line. Just estimations.
Whenever it is done is when it actually happens.

Most companies don't don't talk much in public about developing ideas or give estimated time of release. Steve does. He likes using feedback from the public to help develop ideas.

All of them are way off on any time line in the creative part of development. I never seen anyone do anything else.

Andy Marshall told me he thought the Flexi would be ready to be released in about a year. It took over ten years.
The Sig X was going to take a year or so.... It was over a decade.
It's always been the same and lots of people complain about it. The complaining has zero effect on when something is released from any of them.

It's not the slow release that I find odd. It's the fact that they release a popular product, then quit manufacturing it. The sig:x, pedals, and gpdi were all selling well but they just quit making them. Manufacturing is tough in a state that hates manufacturing.

There’s a new Ultralead in the works but who knows when it’ll see the light of day

There is a photo put on the Facebook Fryette page in the last few days. You can see V8 and V9 on it. Might be a new amp. Maybe not.
