what does ampy mcampface mean? I don't understand the joke

 

[Ed Seith]

In 2016, the UK held a contest to name one of it's research vessels. One of the suggestions that came in was "Boaty McBoatface," as a joke, and people voted for the joke name so overwhelmingly that it won. The nation demurred at the idea of calling its new research flagship Boaty McBoatface, instead calling the ship the RRS David Attenborough. They did, however, name one of the submersibles on the Attenborough "Boaty McBoatface" to honor the Will of the People.

I seriously doubt Syn will name his new flagship amp the Ampy McAmpface, but perhaps as an homage, he WILL use the name for one of the pedals he designs to go along with it, since pedals often have silly names anyway, or perhaps a limited run of Ampy McAmpface compressor pedals or something before the real name kicks in.

Captain Ed strikes again. I had no Idea

This is exactly the story my mom reminded me of when I told her about Ampy McAmpface. We had a good laugh about it all over again.

Well! I learned something new today! I thought it was completely made up! It makes the amp joke name a bit more... educational I guess??? Who would have thought!
