Yep, to my very sorrow (as a T2HH-owner myself)...I wonder how Randall will deal with it. The set up a signature amp with the T2HH but there were very few month for them to sell it. 
Still a great amp!

Wow...sounds good, but Gus sounded like Zakk when he played that small bit... I won't give him too much shit for it since he sounds better and cleaner than Zakk right now anyway. 
It'll be sad to see the T2HH go. It was the only production amp that actually did go to 11.

Wow, didn't know that now I can't even play pentatonic licks??
I guess I should work on a new amp that will go to "infinity"

How about infinity and beyond?
That's right Gus, once Blackstar gives you the green-light for your signature amp, you should have some kind of knob that is a digital pot that can turn in either direction without a stopping point and have it do something like a contour control for an extra preamp gain stage or something..or just have all the knobs do that but program in a certain threshold so that the value of each setting can only go up or down a certain amount, thus creating the illusion of going "to infinity"!
If this does become a reality, I will request a small cut of royalties from Blackstar for coming up with the idea.
For the record, I'm just busting your balls a little bit, dude. I admire your playing style much more than I do Zakk's. Stick with it and be yourself; please try not to become a Zakk clone. You're already playing singlecut guitars with active pickups in them as it is.

Anyone who plays the Guitar for Ozzy is going to play what Ozzy wants to. just imagine Ozzy's music with Kerry King on Guitar: Ozzy would have to show who's the boss, or we'll have to listen to a Ozzy Thrash Metal CD.
and btw, Teh only true Spinal Tap volume goes up to 11, and not to Infinity!

That's not entirely true though, I mean listen to Black Rain, there's a LOT of Zakk influence in that...
Highly unlikely. I remember reading interviews with Ozzy several years ago where he mentioned that the first thing he told Zakk when he was hired was to just be himself. Now unless something completely changed between 1987 and 2009, I would imagine he would have extended that same gesture to Gus.
I wish him the best. I hope he tears all kinds of ass in the future. I raise my e-beer to you, Gus!
I really do hope this is true for Gus too, so that he can be himself and not lose his identity either.........I'm sure Ozzy wouldn't have changed guitarist if he really wanted the next one to sound like Zakk, what would be the point. That was one of the reported reasons Ozzy let Zakk go too as he thought that his albums were sounding like BLS, so the next guitarist had to be different!
Plus, Gus is a clean living young man haha (well I suppose as any young man can be!!) and I think Zakk's drinking was getting out of hand, which is well documented.......and Ozzy is now clean himself! Good!! I once went to see Ozzy, waited in the club until 11pm and the bugger didn't turn up!!! He was pissed up in his hotel room!!
