Some serious amp in there 8) I have to say, I like more of the Redplate sounds I've heard than Dumble sounds these days. I'll start collecting money for the MDD :!:

I am impressed with what Henry is doing and started paying attention to him after Shad gave him some props. Like Shad, I think Henry was smart about taking some time with his site and getting some well recorded clips with some strong players which illustrates his various models well.

I have my Fill of Solid D (Bludo, TR E Pro, Fuchs ODS) amps so I went for the Blackloop as that sounded insane for the single coils which I sometimes have a hard time finding.

Tag and his misadventures is a guilty pleasure for me and likely others to follow his circular like swirl over amp after amp only to get right back to square one with those mundane and seemingly identical Poli clips.

Tag has chops for sure and I would not call him mediocre particularly on his clean stuff. His OD playing needs some restraint but that comes from years of rocking Ulrich Roth, Michael Schenker and other Riff rock that has so imbued his musical signature.

OK then.

later y'all

I have a hard time believing all those guys actually have a redplate amp.

Henry is a one guy shop, he couldn't put out that many amps. I have been on the build list for a while, unless these clowns got ahead of me somehow.

Unless your name is Eric Clapton 8) I follow a strict first come first serve build order list for all models except the Magic Dust and the same FIFO list policy for the separate group of Magic Dust customers.
It's true I only do 1 amp a week (more like 1/2 an amp lately :oops: ) Since March I now have a full time guy (Mikey) doing nothing but Magic Dusts, he does 3 or 4 a week - I have you down for a BlackVerb combo and my part time guy (Keith) that I've been training for the last month is going full time starting in 4 days. He will be doing everything except the 'Dust - so your wait time just got shorter. 8)

Wow see how anticipation warps the mind Henry. :)

Sorry Henry, it was just all that talk about RedplateAmps that got the juices flowing.

Henry,

Why did you choose to put some of the coupling caps under the board? Just cleaner and/or easier to wire that way?

Thanks!

It's a secret ala TR - are you sure it's just caps under there? :lol: Besides it is easier, cleaner and allows more component density when board room is at a premium.
