I feel like he never will make a headshell version

Same. I wish he would but the way he talked about it in the NAMM interviews made it seem like he thinks it would be too expensive. Plus he seemed really excited about all the extra digital crap he’s shoving in the amp that basically nobody seems to want.

But hey who knows, maybe after this thing only sells like 8 units total when it finally releases in 2034, he might reconsider a head version after that.

I think when it sells 8 models, he is bitter about it and never makes it still

We all have kind of glossed over this. But I really doesn't make sense to me.

It obviously wasnt easy to create this digital monstrosity, as it is not done, and I would assume he had to hire outside help to create it. If he sold a shitload of the units, the production price would be very cheap and would start to make the R&D negligible.

But when it sells...idk, i would guess 15 units, will he cover the costs? The price isn't cheap enough for it to attract anyone new vs modelers. The diehard fryette fans are probably 80% cool on this, as they all wanted heads...

It just makes me wonder who this is for, and that is why my estimate is 30 units sell, and 15 are returned to sweetwater or where ever.

TBH, none of it makes sense. I wonder if he’s really just looking for investors to make it a reality?

The thing is, no one would have been that mad if he made it a rack unit if he kept it analog. He said he is moving into the future. But he is moving into ten years ago

That's the thing that makes this really head-scratchy

I'm sure this thing will sound amazing in 2 years when they are finally delivered, for 4000$, until they all die and can't be fixed in 2035

It probably was envisioned 10 years ago indeed, but he was too busy building Power Stations in the meantime lol.
