To goop or not to goop, that is the question!

[QUOTE="Caine, post: 131305, member: 213"] I am not a fan of the goop. What if something happened and Rob went out of business and I needed a repair to a module? Or what if I wanted to return a module to factory specs or even have someone else do some other unrelated mod, like adding a switch or something? I think it detracts from the long term value and versatility of the module. What I think is a bit ironic is the factory modules are knock-offs of someone elses work (Fender, Vox, Marshall, etc.) but yet, they don't come from Egnater or didn't come from Randall with goop on them. And while some of Robs mods are originals, some of those are in and of themselves knocks offs of Fenders, Marshalls, etc. I realize the trick is getting them to sound the way they do within the context of the module, but they are still intended to emulate someone else's design. I would assume that all amp makers would want to protect their ideas but yet, I have yet to see a Fender or Marshall come from the factory with goop inside them and I'm sure there are practical reasons why anyone would want to be able to see and have access to the components inside their own amp. The goop is a downer for me. If it was so important, then everyone would be doing it. If I were Frankenstien, I would surely say, "Goop, BAD!" [/QUOTE]
