“in a world where the existence of the tube amp is sort of, and, you know, showing up with a tube amp is becoming kind of problematic”
John Nathan Cordy, at 0:10 of “You're Dialling in Your AMP WRONG - Does Rob Chapman Have a Point About Tube Amps” on John Nathan Cordy’s channel.
Around it
- 0:00 So Chappers has been in this game for the longest time. I think one of the pioneers of this whole thing, and he put up a video the other day, which I caught a bit of, which was around tube amps, and
- 0:10 there were some important, I think, points made in that video that I wanted to try, because in a world where the existence of the tube amp is sort of, and, you know, showing up with a tube amp is
- 0:23 becoming kind of problematic, I think it makes sense to at least try to understand amps better, and I don't know if this is going to be a good idea, but I think it's going to be a good idea.
- 0:31 It's going to be a sort of thing where, you know, Rob Chapman would have tried sort of 10 times more amps than me, and probably I might have tried sort of 10 times more amp than the next sort of guy
- 0:43 coming up, and he was talking in this video about, like, the archetypes of amps, like a Vox and a Marshall and, like, a Fender-style circuit, and some of the differences between them.
