Someone on youtube is saying DAR is out of business...

as of a week ago. I'm certain they're just trolling, but wanted to make sure... He/she mentioned it in at least a couple of Ola's DAR videos.

i spoke with mike for about 30 minutes (after he knocked off work and was driving home) on the phone yesterday. no mention of the youtube troll. he is working his ass off trying to get these amps out there. he is NOT out of business.

he DOES need to hire someone who doesn't do drugs to help him build the amps (lol). mike is a funny mofo to talk to. wish i cold take off 3 weeks and go over there and help him build these monstrosities, just to spend some time learning from him.

Correct to my knowledge we are not out of business. Just buried in back logged orders of tech that is not easy to build!

 

[glassjaw7]

That's what I thought, thanks. I would hate to see that happen to you guys at this stage. You have some groundbreaking stuff that needs to get out there!

 

[mikegiovannotto]

Funny, I caught that and responded to the guy myself in a message. He was kind enough to respond back with a very strange message indeed.. He did not care to do anything other than poop on DAR so I just let it pass. Whatever.

I do see the need to be a bit more available to folks via media/forums etc... or this stuff can happen. Once folks see more product in the mkt from DAR that will change. As for now, I tend to keep the phone/email silent most hours and focus on the builds cuz otherwise it can eat up a good 4 or 5 hours a day that is time away from the bench. Simultaneously developing/mktg/mfg cutting edge gear is a real juggle of time and resources.

I do have the guitarist from Necrophagist in today... should be a fun afternoon.

Nice. Muhammad or Sami?

Muhammed. He's a really awesome dude and obviously a wicked player!
We got 4 heads finished just over this weekend.. feels good to see them coming off the benches...
Took some time to get this technology right!

That was me.

DAR Contacted me twice. He asked if I would remove a video (Python dead parrot skit) poking fun at DAR amps."They're just sleeping"

I said I would give him 3 more months then I would make another parody video.

Called it.

I saw the norwegian blue video, and thought it was hilariously applicable.

Ya it had 3 dislikes-I wonder who they were from....

I just couldn't believe with all the Cam*ron crap at the time, people weren't more suspicious earlier.

If anybody lost cash, you have my sympathy-hard lesson.

I put off purchases salivating over the pre-amp pedal.

Unfortunatley for Fredrik Thordendal his reputation gets a hit by association.
