ECG Steels Brent Hinds design? (Drugs are bad)

[codetocontra]

Still P&W just a different shimmer verb.

He's bananas man. I'm pretty sure he eats gopher meat when he can get it.

Let us not pretend that eating gopher meat is not a delicacy in wikipedia

People eat all kinds of shit.

Got a friend who makes a wild game stew and it seems as if nothing is off limits. Gopher doesn’t seem all the weird.

[BetterOffShred]

Fair enough.

He's bananas. (Insert personal example indicating moderate to extreme levels of lunacy)

I heard Ben Verellen's laptop that contained his amp schematics was stolen a few days ago in San Francisco. I wonder if EGC had anything to do with it?

Viciously searching "Verellen Amplifier Schematics XXXX Leaked Noodz 2K17".

what? like he doesn't have a prototype of all his amps at home, pfft he's got to have at least it backed it all up at home on an external drive.

and if it was stolen in sf. it was probably sold on a sidewalk by a bum in front of city hall earlier today. to someone who will probably pawn it. the pawn owners will wipe it. and that's the end of it.

And Mandee once told me that I didn't know how to have fun. Jesus dude.

What's the story behind those amps? Are those also gooped or something like that?

[Ugly Nora]

If you're asking me, I don't know much about them, but maybe someone else will chime in.

No, you can find gutshots of some of their stuff if you search around.

quality amps.

i think maybe you're thinking of that one dude from the pnw that goops up peavey and jet city amps with screws and some resistors and shit.

[Olin]

Lol Hovercraft. I had one before it was uncovered how shitty his practices are. There was a little threat inside the amp warning whoever owned the amp not to post gutshots, and stickers over all the Jet City stuff. Also some really shoddy tolexing, he didn't even strip the old faceplate, just slapped some new stuff on there. Thing actually sounded okay and the mods he did to it were fine, wouldn't have minded any of that stuff if he was just open about it and didn't try to lie to everyone/threaten them.

[BetterOffShred]

The amp game is worse than the pedal game in my opinion. At least most dudes are like "yeah man this is a silicon fuzz face I added some shit to" amp dudes take like a basic jcm800 and change the slope resistor and add a cathode follower stage and say it's amazing. Or that one idiot that was building SLo100 clones with other people's boards and calling them his own design. It's gross.

I'd never buy a boutique amp for that exact reason. The "upgrades" or whatever the fuck they are offering are not worth the extra thousand bucks they will charge. Give me a Mesa or Gallien Krueger any day over the top of the line boutique amp company. Never going there.

I think there are definitely some worthwhile companies out there. I think those types of amps are often inspired by a few pairings. “Vox meets Marshall with Bax tone stack.” The general consensus is stuff like Science and Verellen seem of upstanding quality.
