SamuelJ86 said:Maybe Mesa is going to end up like Gibson guitars. Amps have kinda hit a wall in terms of groundbreaking innovation. Amps have just leveled out here the past 20 years and now vintage amps seem just as relevant as the modern ones. Gibson pumps out these historic reissues trying to capture the magic of the old guitars. Like mesa did with the V. Gibson also copies specific guitars, like Jimmy Page, Slash, Bonamassa and so on. Now mesa is copying specific amps, JP. And everybody has thought to themselves "Is Hetfields amp next?" And it doesn't have to be a specific artist, Gibson just finds beautiful Les Paul's and reissues them. They dig up some cute story and tell about the guitars journey and then try to make a few hundred clones. Wouldn't it be something if that's the road mesa takes. Finding specific Mark amplifiers and recreating them. Marketing them with that specific amps "journey" and tone. I'm just daydreaming out loud here but since amps and guitars are so similar, in that they have individuality, each one can be so different from the next. Id like to live in the universe where that happens.
This has aged very well. Just saying
