[LP Freak]

Ignore him and he'll go away. He get's off on the drama and stated so himself. So I repeat..IGNORE HIM.

This has been a public message.

I have searched, but I have not found a single case where a Blades amplifier has caught fire, or caused harm to anyone? Please post a source where I can research this topic. Please submit factual, documented cases only.

There are also comments related to Billy Blades stealing designs... No designs were stolen that I can find. The Western Electric circuit matrix used in all tube amplifier designs was deemed public property decades ago. To accuse a company of stealing, and/or building devices that are unsafe (in print) without proof is libel. See info posted below...

http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/libel ... ander.aspx

For the sake of accuracy and fairness, please list these circuit theft claims one-by-one... We will look at each design feature, and then investigate its origin. One poster commented in reference to Billy Blades using a Mark Cameron or Dave Friedman designed dual preamp matrix... Bruce Zinky was using dual gain stage preamp controls long before Mark Cameron or Dave Friedman. Again... Please list what design aspects of the Blades Firebolt that you claim are stolen.

NOTICE!
All amplifier companies who are using the Randall Smith designed preamp/master volume control matrix in their amplifiers must cease and desist! According to wise(ass)men of the Rig Talk forum - you're stealing!

Since the detractors cannot produce the requested proof, they will now proceed in attacking the defense.

Stay tuned...

I have to say that the clips of the EVH, SLO and even the Blades are pre and post production BULLSHIT!!!!!! Now....I am not saying (because I have not been in a room with any of these amps) that they do not sound good.

I want to hear an I phone clip, a zoom clip for fucks sake and old vid camera. Drop the fucking crap back tracking look down between your legs and see what you have hanging there and represent. That's all...Flame away!

This was with a ZOOM Q2, I agree, I like raw simple, tell it like it is recordings.
James Lugo, thanks for being cool. I don't have the recording skills like James or I would do a better audio of the take done here.
But it gets the point across. I love the FIREBOLT, had it 6 months and no issues.
Had Lynchs SLO prototype way back in 2000 and it was great, but this FIREBOLT is more aggressive n Marshally and totally DIG the tone I hear and FEEL…... to best describe it.
Not hear to bash back at people. I just love playing guitar too much to start hating n get pissy at people here on RT.
Hope the clip is what you were asking for?

Way too much preamp gain Homie.

Too buzzy.

Too fizzy.

No note separation.

Weak midz.

No bottom.

I can go on ...

Sounds average at best.

I LOVE GAIN dude……I don't expect love from you I hear lots of note separation. Opinions are like assholes on this thread, I have a feeling others will differ. Rock n roll…..amp was on 2

Can we get a clip of you playing the amp with it's power section up and the gain down ?
You know like a tube amp should be played allowing it to actually breath instead of preamp gain from hell .
And could you actually slow down and play something that has normal key changes over a normal rhythm section.

I agree !

Let me know if this is slow enough for you
And funny I didn't hear a rhythm section with the clip

Much better .
Still over the top gain setting while pushing the amp.
Would be cool to hear that again with the pre lower around the 10:00 position though .

James Lugo

He (Blades) brought it on himself and for being an asshole (poor amps that can kill people, nothing short of stealing others designs, and lying, conning, and not being a boy of his word) ...that's why he is banned from EVERY forum group (not sure why not this one). You have do be a very un-special person to pull that off!

You also don't seem to be getting the point...people are showing his comments verbatim, layouts, etc. because they want to warn other people that may be conned into spending their good hard cash on crap from and asshole. This is a BIG point for people out there that would be researching before they spend THOUSANDS of dollars or a crap product from a tattoo artist. lol

p.s. - That blue amp is again...quite horrible ugly and like Billy's tattoo. it looks like something you'd find at a Trade Center or thrift store.

Didnt you buy Billys MOD's when he offered them on eBAY??? You told Billy how AWESOME the amp sounds now after he modded it??? Bob Roza ….. ?????

I have to admit that guy has his EVH chops down .
I think most of the vibe is coming from his playing though.
Any amp without a great player is just another box of volts .
