Yes it's coming. I haven't really announced anything publicly...
I am still working on it, but almost done. I will be building them soon. Essentially, I'm just getting the face plates, logo and new grill finalized.
The chassis, PCB's and head shell are all new and completely re-designed. It will have a clean channel, which is very cool. I won't divulge all the details about that one yet. But it's very useful and versatile. It's got some features no one else does.
The high gain circuit is based on the previous version but is revoiced to have more harmonic content and even more aggressive. It's a great sounding circuit and the next step in the evolution of the model. I like tight and focused amps, but I've learned to loosen this one up a bit for a greasier feel, with that richness in the gain, while still keeping the punch and attack. Implementing things I've learned over the years from modding and building. I can't even begin to explain how many hours I've put into dialing in the circuit. Sometimes to the point of pure frustration due to OCD, and reaching for that last 2% that you know is in there somewhere.
I was playing the prototype last night, after making a few fine-tuning tweaks. I gave it a little volume and it was an absolute blast to play. Super punchy with great feel and dynamics. I think guys are really going to like it.
As soon as the face plates and logo are ready I'll post photos. It's going to be really good looking amp.

Able to mod the old versions to a V3?

Should be able to. I haven’t tried it on a v2 yet.

Are these coming out soon!? Can’t wait to hear the new version

Yep. I have a whole rack of them built. I’m adding face plates and putting them in head shells now. Waiting for a friend to edit photos and then I’ll post them. Should be a demo or two as well.
I’ll add a pic of the foot switch as a teaser…

I’m not 100% sure any will be left yet. But shoot me a PM and I can add you to my standby list.

Thanks man. A long time coming. Had to start from scratch with this one and re-design everything. The goal was for everything to be higher end and improved.

Wow. Looks like a spaceship ! Congratulations on the amp Jeremy
Looks like an insane amount of work. I'm looking at the front panel trying to understand how it builds on top of V2.
The V3 went with 2 types of diodes ? I still see the Compressed/Raw blend knob which is awesome.

V3 has pretty much all the features of v2, but I removed the boost switch and replaced it with Hellfire +. This adds more gain to the lead channel instead of cutting gain to the GZ-OD channel. It’s fixed at the higher setting. It just wasn’t necessary to cut the gain. You can lower it enough with the other switches and gain controls.
And on this amp I don’t need to cut the gain tremendously to get a clean tone because it has a clean channel now.
The 6 way rotary switch for diodes was removed and it’s now a 3 way switch. It was overkill having 6 options. 3 is really plenty.

All sound choices - can't wait for my number to come up.
We really need some vids of this monster in action.

I always preferred the second position on the rotary myself.
