Obviously me too or else I wouldn't be doing it 😂

There isn't a ton of innovation in the amp world, it's mostly copycat shit, so when someone takes an honest to God swing at innovation I want to back it

I'm stoked the metro kit is super high quality and should be a good base

Resonance
Excursion
Low Mid Presence
High Mid Presence
Infinite Bright Control/gain boost
Diode gain boost/mid scoop that isn’t Jose based
DC heaters
Footswitchable master volumes
A new footswitchable effects loop I’m working on now that isn’t headfirst/metro based
Bass boost
Contour/tight switchable

All single channel. Dan wants an absolute monster and that’s what I plan to happily build him when him and I both are ready :cheers:

Never had you pegged as an Ashley Tisdale fan.

That's great, but will it have cup holders?

This sounds awesome. Definitely would be into checking it out.

Ever had an amp have so much tight low end it makes your preamp tubes microphonic?

I’m literally struggling to find preamp tubes than can survive the punch in the prototype. And this is without post EQ or a boost in front.

Sadly yes. It was a SWR Bass 750.

Honestly, and not to pick on you at all, but I don't really totally get the shit talking on Sam. Essentially, he seems to catch a lot of shit for being snobbish.....But that could describe all of us sick fucks that chase tone like this.

I’m somewhat of a snob myself but in my view, as well as a few others from private correspondence here and elsewhere, he goes well and beyond mere snobbery into patronizing arrogance. I don’t bust into NGD threads and mockingly congratulate someone on their new “furniture with strings attached” Tom Anderson, try to show others the “error of their ways” in preferring a Recto’s Red channel or perform enough 180 degree opinion reversals that would make a ballerina dizzy (“The Wizard HR is the only Wizard worth my time. They should discontinue the rest of them! Please take this formerly prized but now lowly MTL away for it offends me now”) I’m only slightly paraphrasing here and you know it. This level of condescension is fit for TGP, not here.

I disagree with his assessment of many amps, but he looks for the same qualities that I do. I try to be more like him in assessing amps in being honest and not trying to spare the amp makers' feelings. These guys making these amps are all badass. But that doesn't mean we have to like their amps. And to only say good shit about them like every amp is the best is misleading and leads to a bunch of disappointment for others that trust our assessment.

Amp makers don’t care and would rarely even be aware of random forumites posts and opinions of the amps they make. They might care a little from signed artists or the bigger YT reviewers. And that’s not me, you or him.
 
Man. I am Griffin Pedals biggest fan, so it disappoints me to say this. But this superdrive pedal that I got from Matt is no good. I was playing at 125 dbs today (i just left the master where we were playing from yesterday [2 oclock]) and I was digging the fucking tone. So I look down and to my suprise the boost was off. I was like, damn this good without the boost, so kick it on....It sounded Hollow.

I am so sad, because the OG was a fucking barnburner. Such a powerful low cut.
