After hearing that the Schmidt only sold 187 times and there might be another low-wattage amp coming, I hope I can say this safely:
The concept of the Schmidt was flawed. No matter how good the tone is, most people interested in a small, low-wattage, bluesy, old-school, Class-A amp will not want a lot of controls and features on their amp. Having three gain/volumes and two bass/mid/treb controls is too much for them. Give them a gain and a tone control, two inputs and don't try to make this practical with channel switching and effect loops. Keep it impractical. They'll love it and say how much better the tone is without having to go through all those controls.. If you make it PTP, they'll go crazy!
I just want to give some input on this maybe upcoming amp and I'm curious what the rest here has to say
