This is the first I have heard of this practice. Seems unfair to me that some people are using dope on their speakers to gain an unfair advantage on us guys that are playing clean. I now wonder how many times I have spent my hard earned money to see one of my favorites live, only to have been ripped off by the prodigious use of speaker dope. My feeling is that if you don't have what it takes to play like Buddy Guy, then you shouldn't resort to doping your amplifier and cheating all of us. Studies have also shown that speaker doping will lead to more radical forms of doping such as the now infamous practice of cable doping and stomp box doping.

I think we should all send letters to our representatives demanding a full congressional hearing on the rampant speaker doping going on. Either laws are being broken, or laws should be created to stop this practice. Most of us work our butts off in search of tone and ability. The speaker dopers out there are taking shortcuts that cheat all of us and in the end themselves too.

Just in case.... 8) 8) 8)
