Tonefactor makes Kent Pearson "cry" over his TSL review!LOL at this exchange between Tonefactor and Kent "I need a moderater"
Pearson.
The funny things is KP doesn't even use the crappy TSL he swore by
anymore!
Some people know tone, others....don't!

Geez.... this whole thing has really hurt your feelings hasn't it. I'm
so sorry... I never meant to make you cry. You really love your amp
as if was your wife, don't you. I'll never bad mouth her again... I
am very sorry.

All reviews are opinions.

And I give it out freely everyday.

Opinions really can't be proven now... can they.

How can I become qualified?

I have enough experience to tell if an amp is going to cut it in a
band setting or not before I even drag it out to a gig.

The Guitar Center in Portland has an enclosed listening room. I
cranked the hell out of the amp, it didn't make any difference... it
sucked.

Amps with a million bells and whistles don't mean jack to me if they
don't have great tone.

I don't bash all modern Marshalls. I love the 25th and 30th
Anniversary models.

Cutting through does not equate to good tone. This is where the TSL
is seriously lacking.
