Guys, One of the things I've found with guys that use my TightMetal pedal, is that the baritone, 7 or 8 string players ALWAYS turn the Tight control down lower than the 6 string guys do. That's not to say that 7/8 players like flubby attack, since my pedal never gets as floppy as some others out there...but just that they tend to prefer to use a deeper setting. The point is not to reduce lowend, but to widen the bandwidth a bit...just like how a bass guitar amp has more low frequency range than a guitar rig.
On the Focus control, the 7 and 8 change the lowend in the front end of the amp, but it's done in several places after where a pedal in front could even 'get to', so as not to add a flubby attack, but to extend the range in a way that still sounds smooth and has about the same harmonic content on the B string that the Normal has on the 6 string's E string.
I'm sure that more demos will follow (hopefully with regular humbuckers), and I think when you try it in person you'll find the tone to be cool. thanks James amptweaker.com
But did they? If it's as versatile as it says it is at least? plus it has plenty of features; noise gate, focus knob, MIDI, 3 channels, voicing switches, boosts... FX loop, DI out. and it's a signature amp :/
They may have just priced themselves right into the, daddy I have no idea about amps but i like this shitty band so buy me this pos and I need road cases too market.

More features than a Roadking? That thing has a bazillion knobs and switches. You can pick different tubes for different channels for fuck's sake.
Plus a Roadking will hold it's value more. I'm thinking this amp line won't last very long at that price. Although they might sell pretty well when they all get clearanced out.
Tele / Strat / LP / Sheraton Into -> Pedals (too many) Into Plexi clone / '68 Bassman / JCA 100 / '65 Ampeg M-15 Into 2x12 with Green Beret / Reaper 55hz OR 4x12 with G12T75s
Good deals with: Ovid9, paul88lx, Y0UNGBL00D, boonestunes, Laura from Valvequeen.
They will come with an import line soon and have their own wing at guitar center right between the line 6 and Mesa stuff. And all the dudes that rock line 6 amps with their schecter guitars will be saving like crazy to move up to schecter cuz it's soooo much mer brrooootzal and be looking down their noses at the noobs still playing line 6. There is no way they are going to try and sell these for 2600 for an extended period of time. That said I thought it sounded great.
