Good point, Per. Just because I'll never be able to afford it doesn't mean it's a gyp. (LOL). When I think of a price in the teens, I tend to think of a hot amp (e.g., Vox AC-50), but IF my proverbial ship ever comes in, I will buy both :-) Seriously, even though this box is way over my head, its flexibility and well-conceived design fascinate me, and I may eventually have to snag one. Someday. After I buy my 1966 Maserati Quattroporte.
