Tag rules!

Post by heisthl »

Let's make a deal - I think Tap's clips are valuable because they are a great benchmark or yardstick to compare against even if you are not trying to duplicate his tone, The sustain, tonality vs. pick pressure, low end fizz etc. are all helpful areas to use for comparison, even if your build sounds better than his amp. SO if Tag post just said something like:
"Happy Newyear everyone, The Dumble has No LNFB on V1, and
6ps series caps on the output tube grids. Here is a brand new clip of the Dumble, and it sounds sweet as anything.

VERY STRAINY! Very Happy"

Would that be OK and not get everyone up in arms?

As long as it's only capable of 95% of the world's most exquisite tone, then we have room to work, no?

I am not going to get into a discussion about what is acceptable and what isn't. The fact is that Tag knows what he is doing and he does it on purpose and then plays the innocent like he doesn't understand. He has been warned twice now. There will not be a third warning.

Its not a question of sharing. If you don't want to share I understand that. It's the " I have something you don't and I'm not gonna share it" that is unacceptable!

If you don't want to share...FINE but don't wave it in our faces and tell us we can't have it.

And now he will not, (see his earlier post in this or the other thread) and I do not balme him one bit.
I think he puts a schematic on every amp he makes...
