Looking forward to your vid!
Psst, the companies don’t need to know. Like at all. Let them go screw themselves and oil eachother with this living failure dineshBruh I'm dying.
In all honesty I would love and I think many others would also love to see the guts.
Can't say but I would imagine companies don't want their donor amp being opened up and tampered with but damn what a controversy that would be.
Was gonna say, nuke this thread and do eeeeit. If they back out then we know.Psst, the companies don’t need to know. Like at all. Let them go screw themselves and oil eachother with this living failure dinesh
Ge can post it under other acc, he can forward them to someone else to post as a part of fake customer review. Possibilities are limitless
Judging by all these years of regression I think both Mesa and Gibson are as stupid as it gets.Was gonna say, nuke this thread and do eeeeit. If they back out then we know.
Seriously though I doubt Mesa/Gibson would be that stupid. They have to know by now that the amp will be heavily criticized and looked over in depth by many.
Love the idea of a blind test. Would be even cooler if you just never revealed the answer
There could be a poll. Where if your guess is wrong then you are shamed for life on Rig Talk and have a special avatar.Good idea, the minute you reveal, then everybody piles in with …
“I knew it. I knew it, Amp B sounds so much more blah, blah blah”.
See post #25I mean this is great and all, but why didn't Gibson so this on day 1? The whole demo drop is weird.
We need it done here, with uneditable answers. That must be a series of comparison scenarios too. All knobs at noon, gain to max, same particular settings, trying to match both to the same sound/tone, trying to adjust both amps to their best sound/tone are some of those scenarios I would like to see. All in a controlled fashion with a volume measuring device set up to ensure the volume is the same during those scenarios, not to alter perception.Good idea, the minute you reveal, then everybody piles in with …

Totally agreed. If possible.Not sure if this was part of the blind test plan, but if you'd be willing to BE the blind tester and have someone else plugging you in to the comparison amps...and you make the guesses in the video...this would be an awesome way to showcase if the "feel" differs enough to be singled out!
I'm guessing the recorded tones will be very close, but it's the in room tones and feel that everyone is ravenous about.
Agreed. But I also agree that the Day 1 demo drop didn't go over wellI think you guys think these companies are A LOT more nefarious, and overall, COMPETENT than they actually are. Haha
If you got a peak behind the curtain at the stuff I get to see from most of these companies, I think a lot of the myths and mystery behind these companies would quickly die.
Nefarious, yes. Competent, debatable.I think you guys think these companies are A LOT more nefarious, and overall, COMPETENT than they actually are. Haha

I can only speak for myself, but basically we walked into a room not knowing what we were playing. The guys at Gibson had the amp set up a certain way, but apparently other people started messing with the controls while they were playing with it, so by the time I personally got to it, it was basically on the clean channel. I asked Dinesh if I could dial it in a bit and he said absolutely, but I've never actually played or set up controls on a IIC+ so i was trying to apply MArk IV logic to the controls. At one point I did get it sounding pretty gnarly, but that part didn't make the SW cut.So what really went down at sweetwater? Did they blindside you and not really let you adjust the settings or what.!?! What a terrible idea if that happened because we all know that amp sounded anemic but you Ben and Fluff didn’t want to be dicks and tell them it sucked right to their face!
Thanks for the clarity. Seems so weird.I can only speak for myself, but basically we walked into a room not knowing what we were playing.

Talking to the SW guys, they took the public feedback on the video to heart (in a good way, they were understanding) and pulled it down. I don't know their exact reasoning, or whether they are retooling the edit or not. Honestly no idea.
How upset would you have been if they were like, behold: this is the new 100 watt solid state head that captures the BEST of three of our most famous amps....I can only speak for myself, but basically we walked into a room not knowing what we were playing. The guys at Gibson had the amp set up
