MarkBass Frustration...

I heard he went for metal flake brown.

Egyptian Smoke would be nice!

Holy Halibut Batman. A modern tube amp. Can somebody tell me about this?

300W at 4 or 2 ohms, 175W at 8 ohms... 10 tubes (ECC83, ECC99, KT88), analog power supply... 48 lbs.

But the thing that really makes this amp unique is the microprocessor. It rebiases the tubes every time you turn on the amp (extending the life of the tubes and keeping the sound of the amp consistent), checks that the voltage and impedance are acceptable, warns you if and when a tube has failed or if something's unplugged, gives you a read-out with the bias current of each tube, and the power and driver tube voltages. The microprocessor also controls the fan speed depending on the temperature of the amp. And during normal use you get a VU meter on the LCD screen.
There's a port at the back that is used for servicing and connects directly to a computer for complete diagnosis. It's very high-tech, but the sound is pure tube!

.... just when I thought I had all the bass amps I'd ever need.

Sweet. Can you get some overdrive out of it?
This just might sound amazing through my NV 215
