Hi guys,
there have been some discussions here about this statement of mojotom.
My point of view:
Some precision in communicating sometimes helps to avoid misunderstandings.
Tom precisely said, that this was a statement from some of the Kravitz crew and not meant as a "hard fact" from the kind of "RFs amp has a Twin OT". Tom reported this as being the personal impression of some of the Kravitz crew - not more , not less.
So:
If some here (Scott, Brandon e.g. ) found RFs amp "easy to play" that does only say, that Brandons and Scotts personal tastes are obviously different then the personal tastes of those ones out of the Kravitz crew who found this amp "not easy to play".
BTW:
This is one thing I often met in regard to Dumble amps. Dumble himself once said in an interview, that SRV had a hard time with a n y ODS . So SRVs taste was obviously very differnet then the taste of most members here, who obviously have lots of fun with their ODS style amps.
I met a lot of ODS amps that have been fine for me and some of them even have been as custom made to perfectly suit my taste. But I also met some, that obviously had been built to suit other styles and tastes of players with a different approach and different musical intentions.
Some guitarist I know, don't like most Dumble ODS (but love Trainwrecks e.g.) because they feel, that most ODS are better suited for players with a softer touch. This is a kind of comment I often heard in regard of Dumble ODS style amps.
Now it is my strong believe, that personal taste is no topic best suited for any discussions at all. Some people like strats, others prefer Les Paul, some Fender amps, some Marshall amps, some Dumble amps, som Jim Kellys, period.
So, if the Kravitz crew had different feelings then Brandon or Scott in regard of the playability of RFs amp, this IMHO does proof nothing at all in regard of the validity or invalidity of what Tom reports. It only makes clear, that obviously personal tastes can be very different, what isn't something that new, or is it?
Cheers
Max
