Well, there would be the small matter of a local irish guitarist getting one and going to on to sell millions of records with a ground breaking rock group with a curious name and a mental drummer.
Followed by another local voodoo chilke getting one and going on to change guitar playing forever while selling millions of records with his little group.
Then these guys influence a whole raft of other guitarists looking to emulate or exceed their tone which, in turn, causes a drunken eddie with a cool sounding sur-name to tap his way into the history books, a chain smoking alco with a top hat to write some of the greatest rock riffs of all time and a king to invent a genre based on this 800 type sound.
Then this to cause millions of people to buy these amplifiers over a sustained period of around 50 years and then the tone to become the very definition of rock guitar and yard stick by which all other amps are measured .
If all that was to happen and I still had an early prototype then I'd sell it on eBay for €350k.

I dare someone to go on thegearpage or plexipalace and ask would it be possible to add and FX Loop to that amp and maybe an additional gain stage otherwise you wouldn't be interested and will get a dumble instead.
Those guys take life way too seriously.

Nah, I'd get it modded for extra gain and a master volume. :pac:

I'll never post on TGP as a matter of principle.
