Any website for full info and specs?

What did they use to power it? Was it some type of built-in power amp?

[WirSindRocker]

@BoogieEngineer i guess they used a PA that was fed with the signal of the Microphone of TomWendt, the SM57 in the Iso-Box and the Line-Signal of the Profiling Amp.

Interesting. I have tried to program something similar in the past and didn't get anywhere.

I've thought of this but, wow...it's amazing, how tube amps are almost antiquated...almost.

@tneri8

You'd think that, but all of these "amplifers", modelers etc. are recreating existing tube amps.

Only once there is a digital amp that has its own tone they will replace tube amps.

Because if they don't, tube amplifiers will always be the place for experimentation and actual progress.

Also, don't underestimate the value of the simplicity of a tube head, too many people need that. (as in, too many people don't want all the finicky digital stuff for it to really take off)

Anybody heard the cost of this thing?

@fenderoid1111

At the end of the video he says it will retail for $1600 US dollars. Available in May.

@fenderoid1111 1,600 $ a awesome idea, but before i spend that much i have to try it out on a number of amps.
