Members The Realm Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Have you bought a computer lately, it's mostly parts from china. Amp circuit boards aren't really that complicated.No but producing one with quality where there isn't arching and the traces don't fall off or cold solder joints or or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members treedroppings Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 I don't see why they can't do wire wrapping faster and cheaper? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thefyn Posted February 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 FFFFFFFFFFFUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I owe taxes. My tax return = 2500 cash back , adds wife, we now owe them... Wife + taxes = fail I heard back from Goldea stating I need to wire funds to them and get a shipping company to pick up the amp. So I just emailed them back asking for the account details.

Members JerEvil Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 I saw someone say it's an Engl clone, but where on the site does it say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thefyn Posted February 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Looks like shipping is gonna kill this one dead. Unless someone wants to take on getting a pallet of these sent to the USA, then distributed between 20 or so people who all chip in on shipping. Who are some known dealers on here that we could approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheRymanChu Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 I can probably get it shipped to miami a little cheaper than the southwest coast of fl, so if u want to come pick it up or have me mail it to you, I'm willing, I'm still in on this, I lovez me the savage tone. We need to offer this to other forums so we can get a big order of them together, I can find an importer, if you're willing to give me a couple of weeks to make calls, I don't know too much about importing by sea, but I can learn quick. I have a couple of friends who own music stores who I'll try to interest, I would advise everyone else to do the same. Sorry about the excess comma usage, that's how I think.

Members driverhasabomb Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'd guess shipping would be close to $100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tubesteakfortone Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Shipping via UPS or Fed Ex on a box like this amp would be in will be 300 to 400 dollars! The only way to make this affordable is a bunch of them all shipped at one time on a pallet on the slow boat from China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Say Ocean Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'd guess shipping would be close to $100? Shipping an amp from AK to the lower 48 is >$100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Realm Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 It's arcing and you think they don't engineer around that in computer boards? That would make sense wouldn't it? So I suggest you that you didn't really understand my post and you would find it more fruitful if you simply asked a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thefyn Posted January 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 BUMP: NAMM 2011: The ole FYN basically nagged them to sell me their REX 3200 floor model. I took it on the plane as hand baggage. I did some clips with it. I'll upload later. They are a little foggy in retrospect. What really surprised me was I was creaming over the gain. It turns out, the cleans are even better. So yeah. NCAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elric Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 Shipping via UPS or Fed Ex on a box like this amp would be in will be 300 to 400 dollars! The only way to make this affordable is a bunch of them all shipped at one time on a pallet on the slow boat from China. And then if you ship them all at the same time , someone will have to ship them individually from the arrival point to all the buyers across the US, so you're still f*cked. You'll still end up paying $500-$600 for an amp with no resale value that you'll have to rebuild in a year or two if it doesn't melt all over your cab first. Personally, I'd rather get a used 5150 or some other decent from the get-go amp from a real company than participate in some kind of group clusterf*ck "penny wise pound foolish" exercise.

Can you send me any contact info you have for them via PM? Also, you say it sounds a little "foggy". Are you talking about the amp or the clip?Both. I demoed it with single coils at NAMM. Playing it via an LP with humbuckers made me realize how bassy this amp is.If you crank it, and put the bass on 3.5, treb and mids on 6.5 it sounds great.My other el84 15 watter is icepick in comparison.It's a very thick gain, and I think i should redo the clip with EMG81 to brighten it up. I was so impressed with the clean, I tried a distortion pedal through it. :love:I can't wait to try my ADA MP1 through this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
