Fluff has a unique talent for turning all gear demos into homogenized, over processed, down tuned, butt metal garbage. At least with Ola's "will it chug" he tries to find a tone that works with the gear he's using. Fluff just turns everything into diarrhea.Last edited by idsnowdog; 01-06-2021, 10:10 AM.

Seems like this is a full-on acquisition:

Hmmm... I had been needlessly looking at a Dual Recto as I really miss my old Recto that was retubed with 6V6s. This might be the push to scoop one up. I hope things don't go south, but if they do, I don't want to wait until that point when pre-Gibson Mesa prices skyrocket.DayGlo

Will we have to play 50 Mesa amps now before we find one worthy of even considering a purchase? I guess my studio build stuff is off and my hunt for Mesa amps is on. I hate Gibson.The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

My guess is that the Mesa branded amps won't change much, but the marketing will, and the Gibson branded amps will cost a fortune.
It won't make any difference to me though, I like Marshall and Peavey better anyhow.Last edited by 80's_Thrash_Metal; 01-06-2021, 02:25 PM.
