Larry let's see some work in process. Or parts? Station?

[scottosan]

Guys that have no concept of what custom work is and how unpredictable timelines are. Go play your instant "just add water" amp. I'm sure Larry remembers every amp he's done, while the rest of you are playing a f#$@ing line item on a corporate ledger, or best case scenario, an amp made by some paint by numbers self proclaimed internet amp Messiah whos only designs consist of whatever sales schtik they come up with. I can probably count using fingers on only 1 hand where you will get an amp of this quality and true custom nature

This mindset is a clear contrast between pro players and hobbyists of a certain income- where bragging and cost really just appeals to the vanity of the buyer. Most guys I know that are really good players will sound great on the "just add water" gear you mention... then there are those who can't play and prefer the designer jeans version. The condescension is truly ironic....

I agree. Based on the lack of clips and Larry's tenure in the industry I assume that there is likely alot of collector/players seeking his amps. I have always been a supporter of small business, but I also understand that is not a practical application for everyone. My being the hobbyist player with also a background in building and knowing the level of effort of doing everything by hand, can completely understand the costs and lead types of Larry's amp

Most of the people complainging shouldn't care since they aren't, not would they ever consider one of Larry's amps.

Greg Germino aint no slouch and he cranks out amps on time all by his self. I built a couple ceriatone marshalls and abet I already knew how to solder but schematics forget it I don't know shit but with the diagram I built one in 7 days around 3 hrs a day. A pro amp builder who has built countless amps should be like tying their shoes imo. I think were headed into Cameron territory here.LOL

 

[novosibir]

First of all thank you guys for all your kind and generous words

... or is it just easier to repair when something goes wrong?

Repair?

Without any intention to appear arrogant - and believe it or not - since my very first DINO born on Jan 8-th of 1992 I've built until today just a few less than 200 DINO amps (not counted my other amp models) where from about 60 DINO amps went to North America

Until today it's only once been the case, that a DINO has failed, caused by a shorted electrolytic can cap and has blown fuses then.

The funny thing is, that it's been my personal DINO 936 before, which I've built in 1994 and have sold it later to an Austrian guy in 1996, as I've introduced the DINO 939

So to have my amps easier to repair isn't the reason, why my amps are built PTP on eyelet boards

Apples to oranges. Germinos amps are both "vanilla" in terms of design and construction

I am curious about the wait time TBH.

I also agree that krill is trash.

The wait time is “whenever” you stupid cunt. You keep attacking me and your going to get it back 10 fold. I haven’t said shit to you but if you want to start something I’m game.

Whatever Larry says is the ETA, add at least a year to that number.

Now go ahead and be curious about something you will never buy. ?

You were the one asking for progress pictures and yet he still won’t show them. That cause he’s too busy building partscasters and hanging out on Rig-Talk.

Let’s not disturb this delicate genius we call Larry.

"The wait time is “whenever” you stupid cunt. You keep attacking me and your going to get it back 10 fold."

Uh oh, we got a badass here guys!

I guess it’s ok if it only goes one way? That shit stain always has something to say about me. So why not give it back?

Is that ok with you gramps?

Duuuuude calm down. I don't want to make you mad and have you hulk out and give it back to me "10 fold"...LOL.

sorry but you're making naive assumptions. Alot of his parts are not off the shelf and not just painted by numbers. Do you want to guess what the stickers are on the pots and why he goes into great detail into the selection of components. I'm pretty sure even the
resistors used aren't made anymore. There's a different between buying parts from a kit or simply buying any old Xicon resistor vs having to scout multiple sources just to peice together a singles amp. Ive done it and its alot of work. He's not using off the shelf chassis, cabinets etc.. all of Germinos stuff is the tired old standard Marshall stuff that you can source from a dozen places. Come up with a valid comparison

Big difference

 

[cardinal]

Can Rig-Talk get to an entire front page of nothing but variations on the Larry v. Fortin saga? I have faith that you guys can make it happen.

 

[skullfxr]

This is ridiculous on all aspects.

I want to see a work in progress and at least hear the wait time. AND how long the person waited for the amp to be shipped. That's all.

It would look a lot better for Larry to post that. But I don't care. It would only help him.

At this point I really don't care. A week ago I had respect for Larry. Before the childish shit. Now it has dwindled. Larry is making himself look like a fool. He has not shown professionalism in my opinion.

I think they already said the wait time in other threads. Just over 2 years.

I don't know what line of work you are in, but more often than not, quicker is usually only better for profits. I've learned that doing it the right way is rarely the quickest option. The reality is that most people would loose their mind if they lived outside the US and had to wait for things.

I agree. I am thinking he probably has a inventory of what he needs. It's not like he is buying one component at a time.

But again some NOS things ARE a bitch to find. But when you find one you stock up. I like certain PIO caps for my Strats and teles. They are not rare, but when I find a good price a stock up, I am sure Larry does the same.

Completely agree.

But small batch production is FAR more efficient. Do three boards, assemble three chassis, etc.
