He gives a website address that isn't set up yet???!!!!!

[Rimy]

sounds interesting.
well, see what they can do?

Hahahaha.
NON Glass plus NON Vacuum equals NON tube.
Why he keeps calling them tubes is beyond me.
Just what I always wanted to do -- convert my Dumble to a solid state amp!

[Structo]

Solid state tubes......

Where's the fun in that?

Yeah he has a domain name but no site?

That isn't very smart marketing to have a product at NAMM but no website to sell the product....

[butwhatif]

I think he got an offer he couldn't refuse

[Blind Lemon]

......solid state devices in a lipstick tube, cool.......but..but..wait....wait why don't we just build them on the board. That's right......... then we couldn't charge a guzillion dollars a "tube". That's marketing.....right?


Sorry couldn't help myself.

I "like" the idea of repeatability.....you order 1000, they will ALL be exactly the same. What do you do if you don't like that sound?

[CaseyJones]

Love the name, "Watt Grinder".

It seems to me every crappy built-in distortion tone "grinds", sounds horrible and everyone gets tired of it real quick. Then they go through around a grand worth of pedals to make their crappy amp sound like our amps and I don't mean just my amps, I mean Wrecks and Dumbles and all sorts of other luvverly sounding amps. If ours didn't sound luvverly then how come people will pay wads o' money for them?

Oh yeah, the economy sucks and they need enough dough left over fer a beer and a baggie. So let's all step up for a tube full o' silicon.
