Randall Smith personal videos - good info about history and such

[mace]

Hi,

I just came across this. Seems Mr. Smith has put up a series of videos where he talks about different Mesa/Boogie topics. The videos were posted recently but not sure when the were recorded, probably recently. Anyway, something to watch when some spare time presents itself.

These have been fantastic videos. I could listen to these every day. I hope he continues them. Even the none Boogie stories are fascinating.

He does mention he got fired

Great videos and they've really made me sour over the Gibson-era Boogie.

I love the videos he’s posting- seems like a great guy

Fluff also posted a video this week where he states that Gibson/Mesa ended their relationship with him when he posted on Facebook that Randall was fired when it happened. Pretty crappy imo, he loved DRs and seems to have so much knowledge on them.

Watching Randall’s videos and his passion for his amps, engineering and innovation is so fascinating and at the same time kinda depressing knowing that the Mesa era has officially ended and the Gibson era has begun.

Yeah.. I wonder what Gibson gains by their actions? Nothing, actually.

It is interesting that Fluff was in that Sweetwater video on the IIc+ reissue (with Gibson's Dinesh dialing in the amp). Consider the timeline.. video published about a month ago and Gibson ended their relationship with Fluff more than four months ago. Odd. If the video was filmed well in advance, then why keep Fluff's segment?

Fluff said those videos were filmed 6 months ago. Fluff will also have a DR RI video for Sweetwater that was filmed 6 months ago.


Mesa stuff starts at 2:50
