So there's a soon-to-be-released "Robot Boogie, High-Powered Edition"?

I've kinda wanted a JP2C for a while now, and this may be the kick in the ass I needed to finally figure out how one would fit in my amp collection...

As long as the core group of managers/workers at the Mesa factory remain stable then there might not be any real changes to the current designs or quality-level of the amps and cabs.
The product-line as a whole would likely be the first area for new office bosses to dapple. They'd probably either want to completely streamline things or go the other way and start using the brand name for stuff made somewhere other than Petaluma (cough cough). Who knows really.?.

Lol, this is probably true. Time to go hunting for Mesa Amps.
Although, I heard it's more of a "partnership" and a full-on buyout, whatever that means.

That’s what I’ve read rumors of as well. After the GC distribution fallout, they may need additional distribution channels that Gibson can assist with. I’m also curious if a new line of Gibson amps will be developed. The rumor is that Dave Mustaine is going to Gibson as well, I wonder if he will be attempting to revive the Kramer brand.

Good point there on the distribution channels. With a partnership, Gibson might be able to get then back in GC as well. It's so early on that nobody really knows. With the new management in place at Gibson I'm hoping they handle things better than Henry did. They've made great strides in their own guitars so that's a good start. It takes time though.

Why don't we just wait and see what happens?

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.

Seems like this is a full-on acquisition:

https://www.guitarworld.com/news/gi...move that puts,the acquisition of Mesa/Boogie.
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.
