Question:
So I got an interesting phone call yesterday. Last week, I took a Sunset 15 watt head over to the Amp Shop in Sherman Oaks, CA, and they loved it. They ordered three of them to start out and are now a dealer. So that’s pretty cool, I thought. They insisted that I leave the demo head with them while I’m building theirs. No problem. So they let a guy take it out of the store to try it on a recording session and they called me yesterday to let me know that he refuses to bring it back. He wants to buy it. I said I’d build him a new one, as that one is getting pretty banged up, but they insist he want THAT exact amp. Turns out, it’s Steve Morse, and the project he’s working on is the new Deep Purple album, which is being recorded now, here in L.A. I’m a little happy… Gary Gerhart www.GerhartAmps.com
Response:
Hello Gary, What a wonderful call to receive! May all the reviews be like this – well deserved for one of our own AGA regulars. I agree with Steve; an amp might have a particular feel and tone that he doesn’t want to lose – even though there might be an identical amp, it may sound and feel just a tad different. I’d more than be willing to put up with scuffs, abrasions, rips in tolex, etc, if the amp was structurally sound, and had "that tone." Thanks for sharing your god vibes with us, Gary. More of the same for you. Walk in Beauty, Peace. Scott

Are you going to let him push you around like that just because he’s a star? Pretty damn cool Gary. Maybe your amp’ll get mentioned in interviews, or even album credits. Maybe you could cut a deal with him where he mentions the amp in album credits, and he can have it for free. Pete — Return to your homes. And never dance to this evil beat again. –Samurai Jack

Very cool news Gary!!! Hmmm… now, how to wrangle that into an endorsement deal….. Or at least an "honorable mention".

I doubt Morse is considering a Buzzaforte
Response:
Gary, Congrats. First for the amp and for getting an endorsement from one of the classiest people in the biz. I met Morse once at a guitar clinic in SC and he is a genuinely warm human being and a regular guy. I hope the association turns into something lifelong for you. Good luck. Dana

Hello, I’ve seen your posts dissing Doug R, and I’m wondering what foundation of facts and logic you’re coming from? You’re probably aware that others who have posted on this NG, who have heard Doug’s work, have praised him. I have not had the pleasure of playing through one of Doug’s amps, or an amp he’s worked on – have you? Are you judging Doug and his work by the sound bites you get through your computer from his website? I don’t know about you, but the limited experience I’ve had with tone and sound through my computer tells me, personally, that the source tone and sound is a lot different than what I’m hearing through the computer. What is your personal acrimony based on? I am human and not immune to feelings of anger and frustration, and not feeling like I’m in control, etc. When I can rise to the moment and be conscious, I remember what Buddha said about anger – that it’s like someone reaching into a blazing fire to grab a red-hot coal with their bare hand, with the intention of throwing it at someone. Anyone can be angry – it takes a bigger man to forgive and move on. I would guess that most of us on the AGA are happy for the success that Doug and Gary and others are having – their success ultimately affects us as players, not to mention the good vibes of seeing your friends succeed and being happy for them. What’s the basis for your anger and frustration? If you ever need another friend, I’d be happy to be one. I’ve read many of your posts, and you seem to have a lot of experience with a variety of amps, but while not trying to judge you, I’ve seen this angry edge come through many times. What’s going on – are you OK? Feel free to doubt my intentions, but there is always the possibility of change, growth and personal evolvement. Let me know if you’d like another friend. Hands palm-to-palm and pouring a cup of tea for peace. Walk in Beauty, Peace. Scott – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >– > Shit. > How much will the price increase be?

Thanks for your dissertation on my "I doubt Morse is considering a Buzzaforte" reply. The guy is a scumbag….IMO….If I need an amp that sounds like Led Zep played thru a comb and waxpaper….I’ll check them out.

Yep. I think I settled on the idea of an AC30TB preamp with a switchable clean boost in front of the preamp pushing a pair of EL84s. I’m awaiting a quote from Mercury Magnetics on a custom output transformer for it. I’ll keep you posted… Gary Gerhart www.GerhartAmps.com

Yes. I forgot to mention that. A built-in attenuator will definitely be part of the kit. Gary Gerhart www.GerhartAmps.com
