Really? It looks relatively simple and accessible compared to that ENGL.

I'm just being petty. 13 Quick connectors, 14+/- mount screws, 2 ribbon cables, removing the Input jack and MIDI connector screws just to get the board angled enough to test capacitors and remove some parts "easily". Add another 22 quick connectors if you want to get the board off enough to replace one of those capacitors. I had every one of those quick connectors taped/labeled.

I hear ya. I has to remove the PCB from my KRK VXT8 studio monitors recently. I have a real hated towards these hard to service designs now.

I feel the same way about new amps as I do new cars. So much unnecessary shit, very difficult to service. Grinding down a 12mm socket to reach some stupid mount pisses me off as much as unplugging 36 connectors to change capacitors.

At least the amps don’t have fault lights that even if you fix the issue yourself, you have to take it to an authorised dealer to get the fault lights cleared (looking at you VW). I’m sure one of the amp manufacturers are working on it though.

It's my understanding that this new Larry model is simply to die for...

"Gut Shots"

It's said that the tone can only be described as being "Totally Organic".

Here we have a couple of Riveras.

K-Tre at the top & KII at the bottom. Very similar but with some obvious differences.
