New member and a Larry amp demo

[Guitarbilly]

Welcome aboard Brandon!

Welcome!!!! The clip sounds great!! Setting aside all the controversy that usually surrounds Larry amps, the fact is he builds a hell of an amp. Especially when you put it in a mix.

I feel like this whole statement is the norm rather than the exception when it comes to the small amp builder ecosystem in general. Like... there's been more amp builders who have totally shit the bed with the public than those who haven't at this point.

The Venn diagram of "can build a great amp" and "can intelligently navigate company PR and customer issues" has a razor thin sliver of crossover.

Yeah you have a point. I wouldn't say there are more bad than good ones but they've been far too many bad stories with amp builders.

I think one fairly easy distinction with small builders is that the ones with big egos who act all Billy bigballs on the internet nearly always end up being problematic. The dudes who keep their heads down and just crack on with it tend not to write cheques they can't cash.
