MOAAH, I met you in real life, remember?
Oh, in case all that beer has fogged how well you remember, here's your exact post:

"Rob is a real person. He is a very friendly person and
I can now see that any weirdness in his posts is just his sense of
humour and occasional spelling mistakes. The guy does not have a mean bone in his body. I can't speak for his roti though, lol. I also met one of Rob's sons. He also seemed very nice but I didn't have a lot of time today and Rob wanted me to see and hear his work.
I saw a Fox head that Rob was working on and it looked great, I kid you not. The CM8 combo I saw was his 6th prototype I believe and it looked much better than the pics of Guss' amp (sorry, Guss ) It indeed had black chickenhead knobs and different coloured LEDs. I heard the amp through the 100 watt power amp Rob made, I think he called it the CM-100? The amp most definitely sounds like a Marshall-style amp. I didn't like the way Rob's Ibanez felt but then again I didn't have time to bring my guitar either, so my bad. The amp sounded great. Period. Very organic, "tubey" tone. It was nice and open and sustained easily and I was able to coax some really good feedback tones from it too! Will I be selling my Bogner? NO, certainly not, but this amp sounds great and I think once Rob gets his cosmetics down this amp will be a great bargain and great amp at the same time. The clean was Fendery/Voxy-style and when cranked broke up more like a Marshall/Vox I am being totally serious when I say I liked the amp.
I am likely going to talk to Rob after seeing how much money I have to spend after this Christmas season about building me an
amp. For the prices he charges and the tones this amp put out, I was very impressed. Thanks again for the Mullard Rob. I'll try it out in my Bogner tonight at band practice. [We went through several of his Mullards to find one I really liked and he gave me a great deal, $30 CDN!] I'll post more later if there are any questions, but I've got ton run!"
Yeah, you're welcome for the Mullard.
How soon they forget
