Looks like only 20 made. I'm guessing no one will ever see one.

Why I think it sounds kinda muddy isn’t the amp. Dude picks between the bridge pickup and closer to the neck pickup on the vid. I’m sure if you rocked that right hand closer to the bridge ....,,.
Wouldn’t sound so blurry.

It has a sound, that I despise! It could be the guitar he's using.

It has all the tone I steer away from, especially loose bottom. Fender Excelsior clone.

Sounds like a tone you could get pretty much anywhere

Not impressed on first listen. My Zinky does what he is wanting, and better: liquid to crunch to clean on its gain channel just by using the volume on your guitar. It's a modified '59 Bassman channel, same as in Fender Tonemaster.

The sound of that video is really reminiscent of the first Foo Fighter's album tone.

While the tone does nothing for me I can see why Billy likes it. He is the leader of The Smashing Pumpkins. He has a lot of fuzz (fuzz pedals) in his tone. That's his tone. The amp sounds like it has a fuzz pedal circuit in it. I actually really like The Smashing Pumpkins but that guitar tone is not something I go after personally. I bet there are 19 other people out there though that do - and will buy this amp.

Oh man, the first two Smashing Pumpkins albums are epic! Gish and Siamese Dream are two of my all time favorites. The wall of sound on SD is huge! Two truly awesome albums.

Tone is in the hands and well Corgan has never had any hands. As such.... meh.

Sounds like a cool amp for 90's Grunge Rock for sure. It has a kind of built-in fuzz thing going on that seems cool.

Not sure I'd ever use one but it seems to have nailed the sound it feels like it's going for.
