Which translates to "We're going to lose the guitar amp stuff and concentrate on Bluetooth speakers, etc.". Guitar amps are a (very) small part of the biz at this point.

Wonder what Jim Marshall would have thought?  I met him once and he was a strong character.  I asked him for two signed photos and he said I was only entitled to one! They weren't even for me! ( I never used his bass stuff though but the guitar amps were, and still are, legendary as we know).  The origin of "turn it up to 11".

All the good ones have been built already anyway.  ;D Plenty of great stuff on the used market, but now prices will be rising.

But that is quite a deal if you get one of the versions where the controls go to 11. I mean you are paying to 10 and get one more for free.

That's pretty much the direction Gibson has gone. It's a "lifestyle brand".  ::)
