I was searching picks with good grip and saw this guy on YT!
His channel is a bit frustrating as you can't add comments and some clips don't have a reveal. His amps are interesting.

He obviously used to have comments turned on since he says "Let me know in the comments" but he's turned them off. I can't say that I blame him. Some of the comments you get on YouTube can be really vile. I just delete them when they happen but it can be really discouraging to do your best and then face some really disgusting responses.

I called 4 or 5 of them and not a single one of them would take my amp, siting poor manufacturer support from korg, inability to get parts, etc.
I finally found a company who would repair it but it was going to cost about $400 whereas , I could buy a used one for $500. So it sits in the back of my closet.
This has happened to me with tube amps too.
I won't buy a boutique amp after this and some recent experiences with boutique tube amps with issues that couldn't be diagnosed.

Fortunately, I love the quilter amps but I personally will only buy non-boutique amps or amps that are priced at a throwaway point.Last edited by jzucker; 02-29-2024 at 12:39 PM.
