some amp names bother me

[RockStarNick]

Bogner, and Egnater, have it right.

Just use your last name, write it in Brush-Script font, and GET ON WITH IT!

I agree with the Vyper, Spider, etc, etc... the intentionally menacing names are kinda corny.

Mentoneman Mayhem Mark 5-

Tries to sound too menacing

Too many "M"s

Why the F is there a Mark 5 when they don't even have a Mark 1 yet?

 

[mentoneman]

Fender - sounds like something built from wrecked car scraps.
Marshall - Reminds me of donuts. Actually, that's not bad.
Vox - They misspelled "Box."

that was oh so very haole of you

LOL! I want to learn Japanese but pigeon is mo bettah if I want to be a malahini someday. Jalike my pigeon?

lemme guess. you bought a pigeon book.
at least you spelled pigeon wrong, which is right

maybe one day i will slap you with a bag of poi bumbai you almos local.
until den get moa akamai brah!

 

[MOAAH]

i know it's dumb...
fab-laundry detergent

LOL, well ya don't have to worry or be bothered.
FAB don't make amps no more plus FAB was originally an acronym for Franklin's Audio Brigade, so no reference to laundry soap
It was also my way of saluting the Beatles long before fab became fabulous once more.

Today I'm much more into modding cheap Chinese bikes...

with cheap Chinese motors...

or designing a new approach to combat gas prices:

Also - Fryette. I will, until the end of time, refer to my UltraLead as "Old VHT".

yeah that's one name change that was total ego. VHT sounded cool, Fryette sounds like the female version of something you would order at McDonalds.

Ha, you couldn't be farther from the truth.

You could be right, I was making a bad joke and know nothing about that whole deal in fairness. VHT does sound better than Fryette though whatever the true motivation for the name change.

Kustom.... Remember there amps and cabs that looked like cheap diner seating? WTF was that? and metal flake in the vinyl plush padding.
Roccaforte amps....
Framus....
Sonus.... I hate Sonus problems during spring.
Gallien-Krueger....
Fishman.... though they do sound good for SS
Blackstar...

 

[gtr31]

err That would be Kustom not Krank .Krank is all metall grills

 

[steve_k]

And IF someone pronounces the Scottish lake "lock ness", I`m all out of arguments

That's how we purannounce it for the merickin language.

 

[jlbaxe]

realized that after I posted but Krank is kinda goofy also.

 

[MOAAH]

Krank is kinda goofy also.

Sounds more like street drug than an amp, IMNSHO.

Bad joke or not you're right, it sucks he lost the rights to VHT, sounds a lot better.

 

[saxxamafone]

Diezel makes me think of this guy

the amps and designs are killer but yeah i agree the name change was not an aesthetic bonus...

 

[mentoneman]

see diezel for me is actually cool...rugged powerful german tone!

 

[mentoneman]

Vox is latin for 'voice' I think it's a good name.
Ever heard a really pretentious person who sings say they 'Do lead vox'?

Me only understands american language and am learning pigeon.

bobby s is back!

 

[mentoneman]

oh yeah, do we have to pronounce suhr "sewer"??

i like sure-- like shure microphones

 

[isvoid]

the worst has to be tweedy pie

I love my Roccaforte's. Plus it is a cool name and it look's good on the amps (especially the script).

 

[glpg80]

interesting topic, was cool to read

 

[glpg80]

Diezel makes me think of this guy

see diezel for me is actually cool...rugged powerful german tone!

diezel makes me think of diesel fuel.

peavey when i was a little kid looked like riley - so thats what i think of when i see peavey now lol.

marshall, marshmellow.

the guys using their last names i dont have a problem with at all. thats complete and total respect to the builders and their herritage

of course the one that stands out to me is egnater... reminds me of eggy or egghead.
