Mesa treated Fluff super unfairly imo

I like Leon Todd's style of bashing. Releases a detailed review of the Boss SDE-3000EVH then gets on the internet forums and says "It's a great unit but there's nothing special about it that can't be replicated with a Fractal Delay Block".

To be fair, you can say that same thing about most pedals and not be wrong
 
Definitely some first world problem complaints here--geez I remember when the only way you could find out an amp exists is when it was reviewed in a guitar magazine. Sure, some guys blabber on too much but it takes one click of the finger to FF. Or go to the next demo on your list of YT choices.
 
I never sign NDA's, I don't sign my name on anything @itsgoodnow did not give me any of this advice but, I feel as though he would be proud of that choice in retrospect and unburdening ourselves preemptively from what has been.

Wow. I have a complete opposite take. That is, you can trust him... that he's not a bought & paid for shill, like most of the rest.

Paraphrasing from the OP's video, "I'm not going to promote Mesa or Gibson anymore". Then moments later, "but stay tuned for the Recto RI Sweetwater vid I shot 6 months ago!", while wearing a Sweetwater shirt. They just can't help themselves anymore.

At the very least, Ryan Bruce is not a shill.

Agreed wasn't implying.
P. Thorn has lost his objectivity or at least alot of it from 10 years ago.
Kinda like if every FF or Cop or EMT is a "hero" just for showing up where do we set the bar ? Like giving a kid a "trophy" for being there.
Just like if every review is "ya gotta buy this".
A Hero is "extra-ordinary" "above and beyond the call of duty".
Gear reviews should be similar.
I like Pete he's one cool cat but he could make 2 nickels rubbing sound great. Doesn't mean i need nickels.

I'd be the worst youtube reviewer, everything i buy sounds amazing. Until I find the next amp that sounds even better.

Is it an addiction?

I see under your "previous" owned amps, some of the best amps or at least the most sought after amps in the world.

It’s more that I’m a really boring person without a social life, and I replace that hole in my life with getting lowballed on Facebook for amps I sell

(And the best amps are the ones I don’t sell lmao)

I know some of you aren’t exactly fans of fluff, but it’s super shitty of Mesa to do this when he’s spent so much time chronicling and promoting the recto series

Gibson cannot learn from anything, can they? What a terrible PR move. Complete idiots. It is almost like they make the wrong choice at every turn.
