Have I missed a thread about TPS going to Rift?

Rather good video of the forum’s very own Chris @RiftAmps showing Danhere and Mickhere (great little dig there) from TPS how to build their own valve amps. Some very interesting info for the amp novice, like me. I really enjoyed the workshop section and the amps sound great.

Yes I loved watching that, I want to do that next year for my 50th birthday if they haven’t sold out. Perhaps I need to book now and stick a deposit down.

Very much enjoyed it. I learned some new stuff in the video and it was good to see a TPS that didn’t involve a pedal board oddly enough.

I thought it was ace and Chris was a really engaging teacher.

Do it - I was humming and hawing and then all the courses this year were sold out

Tbh, I’m once again thinking about selling my Lonestar head and zilla cab to buy a tweed PR18 with reverb and tremolo. Maybe I should just do it...

But what about your user name!, not easy to change, so will be the gear equivalent of having a tattoo of your ex-girlfriend

Loved it. I built a 5e3 in January and really enjoyed it. Doing it alongside someone who knows their stuff would be a great option for anyone considering it. 

Am now considering a next build, somehting blackfacey, most likely.

Haha true but my username may be changed shortly to fall in line with my business name.

Thanks all, had a great day with TPS and they both did a great job. Video response has been brilliant and all course dates are now sold out

A very enjoyable watch. Really nice guitar sounds in the backing music too.

I haven't been bothered to check - is that Dan singing?  Very nice indeed.

I took the plunge and having a Custom Rift built, you know it makes sense,

No credits at the end of the vid unfortunately. Shazam didn't recognise it so maybe something done with Chris' amps? Nice whatever.

I think it's the TPS band.

There are some videos of them recording songs and they both sing.

I’m very very much on the fence mate. Tbh, every time I think about selling I get a naff feeling about it. Without leading you on, feel free to message me and we can see where we’re at with it. Just don’t be cross if I decide not to sell

Thanks for the heads up. Just watched those vids. Excellent stuff. Certainly sounds like that on this soundtrack.

Thankfully, they cut out most of the changers that I dropped
