Hey Brad. Your amps are DEFINITELY NOT a failure!!!!! I own several of your amps and love them all. Your stuff is GREAT! Maybe you'll feel like revisiting this market in the future. Much success in whatever endeavors in which you engage yourself!
Brad, Thank you for this video and for all that you’ve done. Your amps will always be best in class, and I hope you open shop again someday!
We might in some limited capacity one day.
Thank you for an inspirational story. Great that you discuss the painful moments as well as the success. All the best for the future, and I'm looking forward to owning some of your pedals.
I think the painful parts of any story are the most relatable. If all you show is the mountain top experiences, you lose the growth and character building that happens in the valleys
Great video! It's tough to talk about the failures and hard times, but always cool to hear brutal honesty. Much appreciated!
Absolutely!
I just bought a Broken Arrow V2 and I'm floored at how great it sounds. Lots of great innovations packed into this little box. Thanks also for sharing the hard parts of business and life. That kind of transparency helps a lot of people, myself included. Proud Jackson Audio customer.
Loved this, Brad. Proud to know you and amazed at how you have pivoted your business. I’ve got my eye on a Bloom V2 - I look forward to ordering one and being a part of your new chapter. 👏🏻
Thank you Brad. That's so kind of you. :)
Thanks for this very real and transparent moment Brad!
I have the Newcastle 30 (and matching cabinet) and I still get compliments from the FOH guys of clubs, bars, and churches alike. You built some amazing amps and now great pedals that create beautiful tones bro!!
Owned the Bakersfield and Mcfly amp. Two of the best sounding amps I ever owned. Failure is overcoming , you’ll be back better. You made me smile when I plugged my guitar every time .
Thank you Isaac! i always loved those amps!
Thank you for sharing, Brad. Kudos! Achieving excellence
and maintaining integrity are wonderful accomplishments. Society
certainly needs a wider and more nuanced definition of what success is :)
Pivoting to new areas of growth takes courage... best to you and your family. sf
I own two Fullerton, awesome amps, the best I have ever own, and I owned a lot of great boutique amps!!! Thank you so much Brad and all the team!!!
Wow!!! Thank you so so much for your honesty, this is so inspiring to how we should approach our work and our callings. I started a small company in 2003 called Krazyhead guitar knobs, after a five star review from Total Guitar we got a licensing deal with David and Hanser (Kustom Amps) eventually it came to an end, it was so hard to shut down the little shop, and watch my little CNC machine get hauled away. This video touches me deeply. I played in Church this morning with my New Castle 30 I plan on using it the rest of my life so Jackson amps still live!! And I’m adding a Golden Boy next month! Thank you so much for this Video Brad!!
Thank you for the encouragement! It means more than you know. A lot of time business owners only see the complaints because people very rarely call in to say how well things are going. Thank you for taking the time to write today. :)
So much encouragement and wisdom in this. Thanks for being honest and sharing!
Thank you Bear. :)
Thanks Brad and company for you’re hard work and dedication, I truly believe you have no idea the positive impact that your amps are going to have on the world for years to come.
That is so kind of you Seth. Thank you so much.
You've come a long way, my friend. I still remember you teaching me guitar lead lines and giving me tips all those years ago in youth group...
Hey brother! I remember you rocking Foo Fighters back in the day!
Loved the amps you contributed to the market! REALLLYY love the pedals. The future is only up from here! Keep it up man.
Not sure if you remember when you were taking an amp to the Prophet Bar to shoot a video with DRH and as you were walking in I said “Hey Brad!” You turned around so confused and said, “Do I know you?” 😂
Brad, thank you for this raw conversation. I deeply appreciate your honesty and reasoning on why you stopped making amps. Maybe somebody you’ll be able to replicate your amps in a pedal format in the future. I look forward to seeing what you come with next!
Thank you Wayne. That's so kind of you. :)
Appreciated the story and the lessons at the end. Loving my Golden Boy!
Thank you Miko! So glad you like it. :)
Man your amps are so awesome. I always wanted a McFly. I really dig the pedals you are putting out. Loving my Golden Boy!
Thanks Matt! :)
Great story and honesty Brad, thanks for sharing. Very inspiring!😃
Thank you so much! I'm glad it meant something to you!
I came here expecting to geek on gear and left with an unexpected lesson. Thanks for your positivity and candor. I needed to hear your message today.
That's amazing! This made my day! :)
Wow. Your lessons and encouragement at the end of this hit me in the gut, Brad. Thank you for your humility and earnestness in sharing a hard earned wisdom.
You're so welcome Matt! :)
Ha! Failure!? Not a chance! Some of the best sounding amps out there, wish i could find a fullerton, keep grinding brad
Thanks for your honestly and openness man
Always!
I've played through quite a few of your amps and have to say that they're awesome! You're quality is second to none in my book. I'm using a helix now, but I've got the Prism, Bloom, GB, and El Guapo pedals running in front of it and it's the best preamp/comp/drive section I've ever heard. I get so many compliments from people when they hear my tone. Would love to own an el guapo head one day if y'all ever decide to open that side back up!
Thank you Josh! Man I wish I still had an El Guapo for myself!
Great video guys. I’m proud to rep 2 Jackson pedals on my board. Soon to be 3 🙏
You can do it!
Thanks Brad love hearing the story truly inspiring!!
Thank you Rex! I hope you got something useful out of it. :)
Thanks so much for telling your story - honest and motivating. Congrats 👏
Thank you much! :)
Watching this is both crushing and uplifting. Even an exceptional product at a great price doesn't always succeed. It really proves out the line that you can make no mistakes and still lose -- it's not a weakness, it's life. As you've shown, it is often possible to pivot and keep going in a new direction.
Thank you for sharing this! I haven't pulled the trigger on a (used) Jackson Ampworks amp yet, but intend to!
Thanks for doing this video Brad. Also, you're a legend in church community even with those digital modelers. It wasn't a failure, it was a wise move. Your brain is awesome ;)
And my heart is grateful. Thank you so much for writing me!
Thank you for your testimony! I have a Britain 30 and I just regret not having purchased the McFly, the Bakesfield, the Guapo and the Atlantic. I have the Kemper but I'm not parting from my amps! Wish you all the best. The Broken Arrow is making me company and the Fuzz. will be joinning the family soon, I'm just waiting for it to become available
Im new to Jackson Audio with the Prism and Bloom. Good to hear your story. Great products
I would love to see u bridge both your companies together and make a tube amp in a pedal format. Those are getting very popular, so i feel like its a guaranteed success if u made it in the Jackson Audio spirit. U guys are amazing. Thanks for doing what u do
Well, I was a skeptic at first of your stuff because things I heard of your amps, but after doing my own research I’ve come to greatly appreciate your company and I rock your Bloom as an always on every where I go.
Huge fan here!
Yeah we had a lot of people talk trash about us who never even owned our amps. Weird thing for sure.
@@JacksonAudio that seems to happen far too often sadly. The transparency in these videos are awesome.
Shameless plug, I own a screen printing company if you guys ever have a need to get shirts!
@@DustinKoch thanks brother! We have dear friends who print for us. :)
Great to hear your story Brad. I still have a Britain 30 as my main amp and love it! It’s one of those pieces of gear I could never part with.
Thank you Travis. :)
Great video! Why did the RUclips Algorithm take so long to suggest this one to me???
It has been painful to watch the demand dwindle for quality tube amps. My whole channel is dedicated to those who still prefer hand-built tube amps. The sound quality of the digital stuff is getting close, but the feeling isn't the same as playing a real tube amp through a real cabinet. I've tried just about every digital amp product, and it always feels like a job for me - not inspiring at all. The end product (recording) might be great, but I don't look forward to the tracking. Let me say that again: I don't look forward to playing guitar (if I have to use digital amps)!
On the bright side, Jackson Audio makes absolutely wonderful pedals. The Twin Twelve and Golden Boy are two of my favorite pedals. Hopefully I get a chance to play through a Jackson Ampworks amp one of these days!
So sweet of you. Thank you so much! :)
I know your Amps were awesome but on behalf of every worship EG player, thank you for not quitting and making sick, awesome pedals. The Prism is a staple for all of us, thanks for the awesome tone! 😎 gonna get a Bloom next, never played one but can’t wait!
Thank you Nick. That's so kind of you. :)
I hate to see the Ampworks division go! I have been following your amp builds since the beginning. I remember seeing the detailed pics of the 1st Britain on the website. Build quality was unmatched, best in the business! At some point in the beginning you were talking to Michael Thompson and his tone through a Britain amp was just stellar. Why did this not work out? I have a McFly now. Great sounding amp, the dual power mode (6L6/6V6) and the frontend are ingenious. I hope Ampworks will come back one day! All the best to you guys!
My Britain 30 is still my favourite amp! Haven’t tried the pedals yet. I’m sure they are awesome.
Great video Brad, thank you!
Thanks Dwayne "The Rock" Jackson! :)
I have the McFly, which I love. It worried me to read all the negative comments online. I’m glad I got to see this video. Good luck in the future.
I found discovered that most of the negative reviews about us online come from people who don't even own our amps and were never customers. Disheartening for sure.....
Excellent, excellent perspective and outlook, Brad. Thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brad, I wish I had my McFly and El Guapo still today... had to part with both but they were both in my top 4 amps and wish I still had them. I didn't realize you shut down Ampworks and I'm sad but you are turning out such amazing pedals ... keep it up.
Hope to have a McFly or El Guapo again but know I will own Jackson Audio Pedals constantly. Thanks for what you do! 😁😁😁
Thank you Kevin! The McFly and El Guapo are tops for me as well!
@@JacksonAudio BTW... the title saying your biggest failure is completely backwards... easily a huge success, regardless of whether or not you kept it going. For 9 years I ran a program called Guitars for Youth that is ended for now... but all the good we did there still exists...
just like your amps... and I'm sure you'll build more in the future. Would love to see your version of the El Guapo and Mcfly in lunchbox format like the Revv D20... your market might open up more with play at home amps ... when and if you go there again ;)
@@kevinsutherland9756 Thanks Kevin. We're still in the game so I think that counts for something. ;)
I was at the ‘05 Arlington Guitar Show. I think I was afraid to touch your beautiful amplifiers. As a college student I could barely afford the twenty bucks to get in the door, but your striking designs have stuck in my mind
Wow, thanks!
Just had a major penny drop moment here realising Jackson Audio came from Jackson Ampworks! Probably the last person to realise!
I think what you did takes a lot of guts, but knowing the right time when to pivot your business is so important. Certainly not a failure, just your original vision had limitations and you were smart enough to see it. You put the viability of your business ahead of your ego, and that can be the hardest thing to do.
Man thank you Tom. That was so kind of you. :)
Big fan of your products. Gain cycle is a phenomenal tool. Can't wait to see what the future brings to JA
Thank you Eric. We have lots of cool things coming soon. :)
Wow that loved that you put your heart out just the way it’s ,and Man thanks so much for your hard work I ordered a Britain 3.0 with you in 2012 or 2013 if I’m not mistaken that I still own
And that AMP was my first tube amp I play that amp almost every day and every time I’m impressed by the sound that will be with me forever don’t think i will ever sell.
To me it’s sad that you have to stop to do those amazing amps wish you had moved in the direction like REVV did with their D20 I believe that would it work out for you but I also understand God’s will and I believe you are where He wants you to be
But if you ever decide to build more amps I promise I will be in the line to get another one
Take care God bless
Thank you Maicon! It might happen again someday. :)
Thanks for Sharing. I just ordered my First Jackson Audio pedal, FUZZ from SWEETWATER. Can't wait to add it to my Pedalboard. I also ordered the Goat, as I'm after those Gilmour sounds and tones.
Perhaps, it's Time to reinvent the Amp? Start in the Opposite Direction. Try to make a Very Affordable, but Suprb QUALITY Amp. With TONE, GAIN, UMPH, and CLARITY, the Foundation. Some Way of CASCADING Tubes into Tubes, Preamp Section, for Super Rich Complex Harmonics. Build it around the EMMINENCE CANNABIS REX, which has a Really SWEET and PUNCHY BREAKUP, I.e., UMPH. I have a BLACKSTAR STUDIO 10 KT 88, and Man I Love it. I can't even really Crank it up, where I Live, but I can Tell it gets the TONE I'm AFTER. Esthetics Are Great, I Love those Cool Vintagy LOOKS, I mean I really DIG, ART DECO VIBE, but be Creative, find ALTERNATIVE WAYS, Perhaps use VINYL- Like CANNABIS, or CANNABIS CLOTHE? That INDUSTRY Needs to get Promoted, anyway. Just some Encouraging Thoughts. I'm contemplating getting a CANNABIS REX, and trying it in my BLACKSTAR. Or, getting a SEISMIC AUDIO, 2 x 12 Cabinet and Installing 2 of the C. REX, in it. I can Output to 2 16 Ohm Speakers.
It's Obvious the AMP VISION, Still has a Place in your Heart-Mind. I Hope you can Manifest it One Day. Perhaps the Pedals can facilitate that Opening. The BLOOM, is Next on my List, but might be a month or 2, I'm really wanting to get a Lefty, Pete Thorn Signature SURH MODEL, not sure I can Swing that, but Looking into it. There's a guy in Sarasota, FL, JERRY'S GUITARS, and he's got a few on order.
All the Best!!
This channel is amazing!
I am honored to own and gig my Scarlet 30 MK2. I grew up with plexus I've owned vintage Fender Black Faces I've had Mojave you name it I've played on it this amp is more than an amp. I absolutely love it and I'm honored to own it and I'll probably be freaking buried with it someday. You created the biggest success with this failure. I'm going to have to check out your pedals. Apparently I was late to the party I do apologize. Seriously man is it like some of the best amplifiers ever made. The oversized Transformer with 30 Watts Class A there are very few ants in the world that when you play the Unwound strings it just hits you in the chest like a rubber bullet. This is that amp. Outstanding brother
thank you daniel. :) You made my day.
It's not a failure, you made pieces of history with your amps. we love it too much and now it's so hard to find because of there rarities. Thanks for all !
Bless you for saying that. That does my heart more good than you know. Thank you Anthony.
I just want to say that I bought a Britain 30 this past year from a buddy of mine. I absolutely LOVE it and have never sounded better. Sad that I can’t buy another (new) amp from y’all, but I’ll be buying plenty of pedals! Haha Cheers!
Great video man!!!
thank you Scotty!!!!!
I have a Britain 30 (also had a newcastle before that). Now over the years, I have bought and sold so many amps and guitars etc, but The Britain 30 is never going to be sold. Best amp I have ever played still in love with it all these years after i bought it. All I need to do now is pick up some of these amazing pedals you are now making...
Thanks Edward. :)
Thanks for sharing a personal part of your life. Inspiring stuff for all of us forging ahead in our own businesses and lives. Tube amps for life.....😁
My pleasure!
Man, I have two amps: the Britain 4.0 and the Newcastle. Both of them are the best sounding (to me) amps I’ve played. And I’ve played a bunch! Sad to see the company quit but man what a great video and story!
Awesome Sean! Thank you man. :)
Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Even though I use Axe Fx 3 for live amp needs, my Scarlett 30 isn't going anywhere. It makes me smile every time I play it :)
Same here! :)
i remember that first amp shell. the shipping company destroyed it from NYC. i picked it up from allen hinds and shipped it back to you and they destroyed it. :(
i also fondly remember the britain 2.0 i bought and the fact that i had the first jackson ampworks 412.
Good honest video.
I have been searching to find a way to get one of your incredible amps only to come across this video. Such a shame. I confess, in my studio I own a Kemper, A cortex, and an AXE FX but I own Boogies, Fenders, Marshalls, Dr.Z's, Bogner, Friedmans and many more. The Kemper-Types I use for quick recording and I love them but my tube amps are everything to me and the real thing. I would love to have a Jackson Ampworks here but its not to be I guess. Ill look at your pedals as Im sure they are brilliant also. Great words of wisdom and thank you for your video and creations
I have to say...as a business owner who had to make similar hard decisions, your sharing of a "failure" is exactly what makes an entrepreneur successful...knowing when to quit and move on.
Thank you so much. That's so kind of you. :)
Great video
Im a happy owner of a scarlett 30, best amp in the world, thank you for your honesty in this video!!
My pleasure!
Been there, had a high end custom mountain bike shop in Austin with customers world wide.. one day, had to walk away and move on. Gut wrenching for sure, but, as my parents always preached "keep swinging" learn and move forward. Trying out some of your pedals now.
and my dad, who had numerous successful businesses of his own and had his shares of ups and downs told me "most guys will never have the balls to go out on their own".
ok first off i own two of your pedals and im getting the fuzz ASAP. I really hope jackson ampworks makes amps again because i need the scarlett 30 in my life
I wouldn't be surprised to see us do it again. ;)
@@JacksonAudio :DDDDDDDDD
While I respect your decision to move towards pedals, I love your amps. The Newcastle 30 and Scarlett 30 will forever be my favorite amps that I own. Every time I play those two amps I get comments like "that is some of the best tones" and "you have such a great sound." If you ever do a special run of Vox-ish amps I would buy another in a heartbeat because the sound and fell I get from your amps is that sound I have in my head. I miss Jackson Ampworks, but know that there are more great things to come from you and your company.
Thank you so much. I'm super proud of the work we did and we may pick it back up again someday. :)
Ahhh I see, it was Juan’s fault 😜
Proud of what you guys have created and the way you’ve been agile in the market. I’m so glad that you guys have been thriving in the new space.
Juan is the best thing that ever happened to this business. I could never repay him for his friendship and faithfulness. 🥰
I’ve played the Britain 2.0 and the McFly. DEFINITELY NOT a failure! Some of my favorite amps I’ve ever played through. And I scour reverb.com daily to find a good deal on one of your amps.
Ha! So do I! :)
@@JacksonAudio wait can't you just make your own???
@@joekim3757 I could if I still had the parts inventory. 😂
@@JacksonAudio If i buy the parts, will you build it for me?
@@joekim3757 I'm sorry Joe, we don't build amps anymore.
After watching this in full and seeing how much it hurt to shut down the amp business I gotta say - the amp market really did change. Not only did the modellers start spreading, but guitar also dropped out of mainstream music in a big way. If you think back to the 00s, there were big rock bands, there were guitars in pop music etc. All that changed massively in the last 10 years.
That change does seem to have taken out some massive companies.
It is such a shame, companies like Jackson Ampworks made incredible products. I will never get that kind of joy out of a modeller.
Will check out the pedals for sure!
You'll see them again. ;)
@@JacksonAudio Hope so! Keeping my eyes peeled on the used market for the time being.
So was the main difference between the Britain 4.0 and Britain 30 the extra high clean headroom of the 30? Obv the 4.0 had el34s and all the different power options....
Did you have a personal favourite of the el84 amps?
Cheers!
Had the Fullerton and Bakersville - they were fab amps. Still got the cabs!
I hope that one day they make a comeback, I had a chance to buy one a few years ago but unfortunately had to pass on it at the time.
I still have it in my heart to do, but I know for sure, the timing is wrong right now.
@@JacksonAudio great video btw. Should be shown to all start ups. Keep up the great work.
Bring Ampworks back!!!!
I don't think you failed man. I owned at least 4 of your amps and I still wish I had kept them all. The Britain 30 is still the best amp I've ever owned/played and I've had everything. You pivoted from a tough market (new, boutique amps) into a more accessible market (pedals). You built something from nothing and knew when it was time to evolve the company. You built a brand that is synonymous with "top tier tone". Not a failure at all in my book.
I always dreamed of owning one of your amps.... hopefully one day I do
Reverb.com is a great place for them. ;)
@@JacksonAudio I was curious if you still service your amps?
This was a very interesting story, thank you for sharing!
@@DalelCampbell We no longer have the staff or the parts in house to service them.
Would you ever do another run of amps? Like one of each model you had? I would still love to get my hands on a Scarlett
Possibly but not for a while. The timing is just not right.
I own 3 of your amps. I bought a Britain 30 and a McFly from of your vendors, and I custom ordered a Fullerton in cocoa brown directly from your shop. I love them all, they're so unique and versatile. Unfortunately I was not able to get a matching cab for my McFly before you stopped taking orders. I've been looking online for years. Hopefully some day. Also, it would be nice if you could manufacture the Continuum controller for the Fullerton now that you manufacture pedals. Any chance of that?
I’m sorry we can’t. That was manufactured by an outside engineering firm.
I have the Mcfly 112 combo. Awesome amp!
Such a fun combo!
So happy you went to pedals 😆👌
Thanks for sharing. I'm in Ireland and I never got a chance to buy a Jackson Amp despite having serious gas for one for a very long time. I'm currently the owner of a Prism and a Golden Boy and I really, really love both. Wishing you every success in the future. I'm looking forward to my next Jackson Audio pedal..!!!! Long may you run..!!
thank you Clive. That's so kind of you!
Mine follows me wherever I go. I bought it when I was in Dubai and I now live in Ireland. I have seen a couple for sale in Ireland, but they are certainly not that common over here !
Can you build a pedal size amp that fits on a pedalboard like Quilter has been building?
Do you have any advice for a newer amp company?
Oh man, I would do just about anything for a shell pink Britain 4.0 So gutted Jackson is no more. 65 amps went too, so many great builders dont seem to be around more. Really regret selling my 65s now. Gonna see if I can pick up a Britain on the used market - but chances of picking one up in shell pink.....doesnt seem likely
Starting a petition to revive Jackson Ampworks :-) should’ve not sold my Newcastle 30 or go digital.
Any thought of doing an amp in a pedal? Either with analog speaker simulations or IRS with Britain, mcfly, etc preamp minus the tubes or with the tubes honestly.
I think about it a lot! :)
Did jackson ever make a TD 350 ? Thanks
I still use Britain 30 and currently happy owner of the Bloom, from Russia with love guys 🇷🇺
Comrade! :) So pleased that you're enjoying it!
Ah, the old 'PIVOT' . . . To tell the truth, I personally HATE that word! The dumbest question I was ever asked was "If it's such a good idea, why isn't anyone else doing it?" This is why the MBAs of the world have reduced the collective consciousness to derivative Pablum. The tower of babel does make it difficult to utilize market positioning to defeat competitors for a higher market standing. Bob Dylan once said, "All the great sayings have been said, and all the great doings have been done." To that I reply: "Our job is to find a new way of saying the same old things." This requires tat we know where we are coming from so that we can draw a line from there, through where we are today to be able to turn around and see where that line goes as time progresses forward. It's not so much seeing the future as in intuiting the future. I started creating a streaming multimedia company in the 1980s. Everyone thought I was insane. Especially when I said TVs would become computers. As Arthur C. Clarke said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." The business world is overflowing with cowards who have zero vision. You are refreshing. In 2006 when Netflix began to show that they had first-mover-advantage over me, I was on the doorstep 3 times in the next 5 years. You know that old saying, "Always the bridesmaid and never the bride." I have been so very close only to have it stolen away by the littleness of others. And now, I am preparing for 2022 and beyond. Netflix proved me right in so many ways, including that it is the content cesspool that I warned about a decade ago. I'm still ahead of my time. The time to network is back upon us. If you want to sell amplifiers, sell amplifiers. You obviously don't need the money. Do it for love. And FUN!!! Life is too damned short not to.
Thank you so much. You have no idea how encouraging that is to me. Bless you for writing such kind words.
They are not failures. Every single one I’ve heard sounds phenomenal. The problem with boutique amps is only the price which is not your fault at all, they are expensive to build and the time definitely warrants the price tag.
I’ll wait for your amp to be on the streets again!!!
Reverb.com is a great place to look!
Unfortunately, you didn't choose my question, I would have liked to get the answer... Maybe on another Sunday Show.
We have TONS of questions to get through so it may still happen!
Having played a few of your amps and pedals, I would looove to see some of your amp tones recreated in pedal form! Though it would undoubtedly be a challenge, I believe you could very well rise to it.
I've thought very seriously about this over the years.
maybe a victory copper preamp type thing😁
“WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO BUILD AMPS FOR NOW?!”
that is the best joke that was never told. :(
你看 布莱恩 这个不是结局。👍
Prequels > sequels
Even with Jar Jar?
Hello there
@@monchikun9935 Well Helllllloooooo!
Sr. the amps you made is greats amps.
I just buy s/hand amp Atlantic 4. So I play good 2 hr in guitar shop if you for more then hour , must be good . I flip switch try out I like it's got opinion at front and back it's small and watts control good 50 30 15 12 watts . I fine good tone I fine sound in my head so used too it did it . Well I got but got pay off . I had lot of amp orange fender Trayor vox then dv mark they digital one mini amp . I want pug in play amp has good tone range your amp it I fine more when I play more down road . My other amp on Pedalboard one quilter block 200 real cool amp is little jazz in the preamp analog or tube pedal in front. It adds magic with fx on top it that amp feel amp . Then my main set-up it two bluamp Mercury 1 all analog only reveb sum control are digita .l path signals from guitar it preamp, then power amp d class with mico tube add magic is analog you might already look in to that ? . I love amp but that my dreams gig small Pedalboard set up with gig rig g2 fx and over drive wet/dry rig . Then now your amp it birthday Presentfor me goid old fashion tube Transformer amp with opinion . Just need wait pay off .
Now you're in pedal now I check them out too . Like your story change and shift away from amps you will back to with new ideas.
At the main time, it pedal
Think if line 6 kemper other
You could make amp pedal like bluamp 1 but different add micro tube ( make eazy to Replace) vox use untube try make analog hybrid in Floor unit in stereo wet dry / wet
Opinion on that your knowledge sounds. Those's amp you made and design roll up in in this ideal
Must have d classified amp at end tube in it . Try bluamp 1 then you know what I say victory does same only in preamp front end don't Specs of it tell you . Vox untube
In to that first that might add feel touch with analog Circuit board?
Just idea. Why you think set your path to be better I just Throwing
Idea to you . I was very Impressed with your amp
I have a question... how mad are you that Cessna announced the end of the King Air C90 line? I'm sad about.
You are absolutely correct, you only fail when you quit.
Man I know. Such a great airplane. That being said I suspect the new single engine turboprops are crushing the entry level twin turboprop market.
The Newcastle 30 is the best amp I have ever played, and I will never sell it. I highly recommend picking it up used.
I typically see them on Reverb.com if anyone is looking for one
