Re: Throw away your solder iron....CyberTwin Now that Mr Fliegler is convinced that conventional tube amps are truly obsolete, I'm sure he will be making some space by selling off all that old tube junk in his collection. Hey Ritchie you can send some of those old piece of crap amps my way and I'll take care of them for you. ROBOTS!!! I can't stand it it's hilarious. What's next? The soul of Jimi Hendrix impregnated into a chip as an upgrade? I guess you might have to wait a bit for that one as the legal battle between Fender and the Hendrix family will probably hold this up for a long time. Anybody who wants to play through R2D2 and pay a grand or so for the privilege is welcome to it, but a couple good pieces of iron and a few hot tubes are all I need thanks.     JM

Dave James	"...a couple good pieces of iron and a few hot tubes are all I need..."         I love it!!!         I've been thinking about making custom T-shirts with catchy, tube related themes. May I add your words to the collection?         Later,         DJ

JM	By all means go right ahead. I've always been partial to the line "Digital finishes what the transistor started" but I'm not sure who to give credit to on it.     JM

JM	How about this on a T-shirt:         Digital finished what the transistor started.

R2D2 Where are you?         Anybody who wants to play through R2D2 and pay a grand or so for the privilege is welcome to it         I wonder if the grand includes the holographic projection of Princess Leia.... hmmmmm.                 Anybody remember Buck Rogers TV show...         "Beep Beep Beep, Stick this soldering iron up your a$$, Buck!"                 I wonder how long it will take Marshall and Mesa to follow this trend? On a side note, I guess I saw this coming from Fender about a year ago. I used to work in AZ for a huge defense contractor and     got to talking to a sales rep for some digital parts they were trying to push on me. Anyway, some how we started talking about guitars amps and they mentioned a "super duper" secret lab that Fender had in Phoenix. They had supposedly sold some parts to them and were helping them trouble shoot some issues they were having... I asked what the heck do they need that for and then the Digitech/Jonhson and POD stuff came to mind....Oh No!...         I'm making up the stuff about the secret lab, the sales rep only implied it was secret because of "You would hardly know that it was a business if you didn't see the half dollar sized Fender logo on the entrance door." Of course all sales people are kin to the devil and will tell you anything you would like to hear to sell their parts, But everybody's gotta make a living....oh well,,,it all makes sense now.

A few months ago, I asked Jim Marshall if they would produce a low-wattage all-valve amp. He said Spring 2001 they would have a 10-watt all-valve Marshall amp that would "sound like a Marshall" and "produce the Marshall sound". I took this as a hint that they would not be trying to model other companies' sounds in this or other Marshall amps. It sounded like a philosophy, that Marshall is staying with the strict-branding philosophy, not straying from their image.
