Emperor Amps Coming Soon

[Holy Schnikes]

Saw this over at the HCFX Doom Room.

Looks like Emperor are pretty close to releasing their amps. I've tried an earlier version of the 17W, which sounded fantastic. The JTM Bassman thing sounds cool as fuck!

Having successfully cashed in on a wave of interest in old gear heralded by a handful of borderline-incestuous niche genres, we've now researched the supply and demand for old tube amps as determined by everyone who thinks doom is all in the gear and decided to make clones of the most fashionable shit in the scene. We shall be marketing these overpriced boxes of mojo tone to the same suckers who drive the used prices of the originals through the fucking roof.

Thank you for making me smile. ThoughIwouldlikethatVerellenfellowsampsfortheirfancywoodenenclosures.

Also, the Sunn Model-T is a fine amplifier. I enjoy it's loveliness.The original 70's one? $600 or some pleasant, reasonable shit before they became Dumble for Neurosis/Earth wannabe's. That displeased me.

[Holy Schnikes]

Funny shit D.o.S.!

I'm interested though, at least until prices are announced. More the merrier, imo.

[Fuzzy Picklez]

Neat.
I would love an Emperor cab, but the heads look promising too!

Bashing boutique amp builders on a boutique fuzz Pedal forum? Because they target a niche? Okay...... Isn't just about every fuzz Pedal a clone of one from 30 years ago and going for 5 times the original price?

You're new here huh? I'd have to say these builders aren't really boutique in the normal sense...and most the builders are original. I do agree with you that most builders are cloning old stuff that is marked up, however, not so much here. I also think you may be taking thing personal on account of your rig.

[Holy Schnikes]

Regardless of true design originality, why complain about an abundance of options to explore? Original or tweaked variations, who fucking cares if shit sounds good, is priced fair, and readily available?

Sexy looks never hurt either, something the ILF builders know all too well...

[Ancient Astronaught]

Nah I understand completely just trying to point something out. He's completely right about them driving the prices sky high I know so many people that picked up original model T's before eBay and cloners for 300 bucks. He's also right in the fact that doom heads are obsessed with certain gear I'm one of them but every genre has their gear heads.

[Ancient Astronaught]

I do agree that the builders on here are original also. That's why I came here to talk about pedals.

All about the timing. I had an early 80's LP Custom in Silverburst and I only paid $700 used. Then along came Tool...
