probably a bad thing...when gibson bought out trace elliott the amp maker,the quality is said to have gone down the tubes.....no pun intended.... tc have a fairly solid rep in the effects world...wait 'till the gibson accountants get involved.... i read an interview with one of the owners of matamp(the original makers of orange amps in the 60's) a small company in england that make amps to high standards and basically he told gibson to stick their offer where the sun don't shine 'cause it would of meant a drop in the legendary quality.....
I saw this a day or so ago & feel its not very good news indeed. Of course us being on the outside looking in have no clue about the state of TC. I'd venture to agree that their quality would suffer but boy I sure hope not. TC makes some excellent gear. I've got few units myself with another 2 or 3 in the future, the G-System being one of them.
Gibson have seen the future, and the future has a digital interface. They needed to get involved with a company which has high-end digital technology experience. The MAGIC interface Gibson developed for that HX Les Paul was only half-finished; it didn't have the ability to get the digital content any further than the break-out box. Merging with TC should enable them to fix that problem and open up a whole new world of fun....Imagine a proper Les Paul, but with an extra digital output, allied to TC's effects know-how. That's an attractive package.
