Which is even worse. If you want to have your head on top of a cab you need THREE cabs
I had the (mis)fortune of seeing one of these in the flesh as the guitar store in my hometown is a favorite of Steve Miller and has sold pieces from his collection/touring rig to them in the past.

I do not like the Steve Miller Band.

But it looks like Steve Miller didn't like the amp either, and if the enemy of your enemy is your friend, then you have to decide whether you hate the amp or Steve Miller more, and join forces with the other.

Completely out of reach but I guess I’m glad somebody is still making them, though I wonder who is even buying. I do really love working on a mixer though. .
I’ll be curious to see how they’re priced, if they’re comparable to the mid sized API desks they could definitely find a market as I think API actually sells a decent number of those.

The only new console that I find interesting at all is the Harrison 32C Classic reissue made by SSl. Perfect for a Analog/DAW hybrid environment, acts as your IO, I think it has Motorized fader control but I'm finding competing info on that. It is a cool console and for under !00 grand for the 32 CH. A lot, but not the end of the world.

In addition to the above scientific document, I suggest we all spend some time studying the Timeless and Practical Art of Wood Joinery in the Japanese Style before we continue to field objections based on things like self-doubt or structural integrity.

Go on. Take the money and run.
