Nice one Chubtone, But this forum is not going to get it. They are happy as pigs in shit, because its free shit. There is no sense of community as there once was. Its just the way it is. If you want to make that "thing" happen again, make it happen. Belaboring the point or trying the nostalgia card, aint gonna work. Too many guitarists in here, and we know they're all dicks. Some of them are assholes, and most of them are pussies. (Watch team America to get this reference)
the point is, if you want to rebuild the energy and good vibes this place once had, you're going to have to put in the work. Many people gave up because of all the smart asses, or trolls, or fucking know it alls, that KNOW nothing. Bedroom wankers with strong opinions.
There was a real DEPTH of guys with REAL knowledge here, now it a pale imitation of that. But you ARE one of those guys, don't give up on it if you want to revive that vibe.
I have learned a lot about gear on this forum, and sometimes there is a glimmer of what it once was, but as you probably know change, is the only constant. Gotta grow with the times.
Maybe you can get some of these youngsters and smartasses to learn something and get that groove back. Or maybe not, and fuckem,just use the classifieds like so many do and ignore the people who can't seem to find the search button OVER AND OVER. For fucks sake, use the SEARCH button.
YOUR questions about a mesa dual rectifier have been answered a million times already, no need for a new thread you lazy bitch.
anyway..someone will lead the way, maybe you?
