I didn't follow the thread, but did Krull ever quote the alleged death threat against Fortin or whatever it was?

Lol, I just got banned on TGP for some supposed infraction, not even sure what.

Hopefully I can sort it out when I'm allowed back on on April 16. If not, I guess this is going to eventually wind up in the same way Fractal got a bad name, irrespective of how whoever it is hopes to spin it.

All I did was complain about a lousy tech who took me for a ride, afaik.

Was that over the Diezel VH-4 tube replacement issue?
If it was, I seriously saw nothing wrong with you posting about what happened. That was just a lousy situation that should not have happened.

No idea. I just got banned. I'm hoping to find out on the 16th.

Did Larry disappear?
He's likely on his 2 week Easter break. He'll be back in time to answer a few posts here before starting his Memorial Month.

Why not 4 weeks Easter break and the 3 Memorial Months? Don't you think I deserve it?

Fact is that I have a real life with real people and real work w/o administered Corona break.
Too less time and no boredom, to permanently hang around in forums for talking BS

Hope you've had nice Easter days

Then why don't you leave? I highly doubt you would be missed.

Clips or a Larry sounds like a Marshall MG.



Maybe complete your second order of the year.

Nothing to complete.

I have order stop at least until September.

Your company is located in your living room :lol: :LOL: (is what you said in this thread)
Yes I've said this, I know, no reminder required.

But why is this funny for you? What's funny (or bad) with this solution?

Hope still aok inside your head.

Because you said you have to work "without administered Corona break"... but even if they stop every kind of business, you will always be able to reach your living room. So i think is funny :lol: :LOL:

No it's not funny, but the best advantage, simply awesome.
 
I sooo don't want to click on this thread anymore... but here I am :doh: ... Lets go 27! :rock:
 
Personally I'd use this forced stay-at-home time to make hay while the sun shines.

I'd be ripping those amps out like farts after a shit-tonne o' baked beans.
 
Worth noting that Larry builds his amps himself. Don't think it's a factory operation, so you won't get six of them at the same time or anything.

I looked at that Larry Dino video that was posted and it was bad. Did you look at the guy's settings? Bass was set to maximum, mid and treb are at 2 o'clock.

These are from 12 years ago. Not too shabby. I'm sure in the hands of a more experienced *cough cough* youtuber, it would probably sound as good as anything those guys usually demo from Hotone or whatever it is.

I still haven't found a lot of complaints about Larry to be honest. Most seem to be on this thread, so I think despite the allegations of dishonesty, he seems to build them as fast as he can and people are willing to wait.

that 2nd clip actually suffers from what a lot of smaller EL84 amps exhibit and you can read some guy in the comments complained about this too; the neck EMG pickup in use might be the culprit.
It has this singing, but congested quality in the lead sound. Most notable in the lower mids. That specific tone made me get rid of the Tubemeister 18 and Carvin V3m; while I didn't even use EMG's, those amps still did this when using a passive neck pickup on a Les Paul.
I'm looking for that more open and snappy 'Sweet Child o Mine' intro tone...not Santana's leftovers.

Mesa Mini Rectifier, same thing. Actually, my DC-5 does it to some extent too. The first EL84 lunchbox amp I encountered that didn't suffer from this, was the Engl Ironball. Later I read that Engl uses some hefty pre-gain hi-pass filtering (/90Hz) that most likely helps with getting rid of any mud.
