New AMP. Way bettah than yours!

[Uzi Nein Millimetah]

Every single one of those guys write insufferably bad music

Even when, like in the case of rabea, they seem like nice dudes or whatever

That's one of the really tragic parts of this new "influencer era" is that the new guitar heroes have no talent to go with their 10 thousand hours. It's just the 10 thousand hours of practice.

Back in the day, that was where the rubber met the road; everyone knew half a dozen guys on their block who could shred. The real separation was guys who could rock.

With youtube, we now see plenty of teenage or younger "prodigies" and of course older players who can expertly parrot something written by someone else (usually with a modeling amp and all of the easy buttons engaged + lots of delay, etc), but couldn't even compose their way out of a paper bag. Or manage the challenge of playing before a sizeable (or even small) live audience for that matter.

Yep. And it's funny, especially because of COVID introducing lots of newcomers to the guitar space, they have no idea that theres a huge difference between say marty music, and ola freaking englund lol

As if teaching beginners "come as you are" on film and playing wacken in front of 60 thousand people is comparable

To anyone whos done this for real, as in with bands and playing shows, the difference is obvious

It made me think of if Radial Engineering went boutique

I have been considering starting a AC/DC cover band, but sing all of the lyrics like the guy from the B52's. Before anyone judges, think about the ease but also...the quality.

It was a ROCK!….a rock n roll damnAAASHUN!…a way-a wa hoo, ahoo a-way ho!

Looks like a back-alley shit at a pride parade.

Holy shit!!

 

[MadAsAHatter]

Is this the same amp that all the geartubers were promoting about a year ago as the best amp eveah (until the next one comes along)?

 

[Techdeth]

I still have not felt the need to buy an amp since my Larry PMM . I mean that mixed with my Hermanson Marshall 5GS is pretty much my tone I’ve concocted . Even debating selling a lot off . But …. I await some mastermind to do something wacky unique
But I do want to get a ground zero when I sell some . Only thing been on my radar

Holy shit!!

Thanks for clarifying, as usual

I mean, kudos to them for trying something different. We get stuck in our ways thinking "an amp has to look like this". I'm guilty of it myself. However, I think it just looks to busy and confusing, and there's something a little "off" about how it sounds.

 

[ZEEGLER]

I just like heads . The shell the look . 100 watters . That’s my lane . I don’t even like rsckmount . But to each their own

Me too. I don't even like the 20 watters with metal shells. Gotta be a tolex covered wood head shell.

 

[Detroit1973]

i'd be interested in playing through it.

 

[Devin]

I think it looks rad as hell personally

 

[Detroit1973]

I think it looks rad as hell personally

I do too. I've heard some tones from it & wish i had one. I'm also a sucker for rack mount amps like this or the SLO100R or Mesa Boogie Dual Racktifier. I just like the simplicity of having everything in a box that i can plug in 2 cables and go.

Unfortunately that B52 guy is the only voice that I can copy. It is my blessing and my curse.
I can also kind of do the backups for "T N T" so I should apply for your band.

 

[Rackman]

I didn't hear anything in there that would give me much reason to investigate further. I agree the Ola's playing is good. But all 3 gain channels either needed a very different dial or sounded bad.

 

[inyarak74]

That's not true of Ola at all - The Haunted rip, and have done so for decades now

The Haunted do rip! In particular when Pete Dolving was involved.

 

[Drade76]

Too ugly

Def different looks wise!
