That's mostly when the products are American, this is a Swedish/Finnish amplifier, so it should more likely be the other way around.
Great to hear some more news on the amp, Danny boy!
I heard someone earlier mention the channel being quite similar to the first channel of the MP-101. What would you say about that? Not at all true?
Could someone confirm the rumors of the price - $2k seems ridiculously low to me? If it were to be somewhere along 2000€, that is more realistic, and still a very good price.


well, this amp is gonna be a whole different "deal" than the other MP amps. i am sure more will be revealed soon. but i am assured that they are really trying to hit the pricepoint of $2000 USD with the combo, and are gonna do it in a really interesting way......i guess more will be revealed at Summer NAMM 8)

JUST TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111 :(

I've just tried the new Combo and I was blown away!
I tried it for 10 minutes and I realized that I need to get one...
This prototype came with a Celestion G-12h witch is not my favorite speaker because it's
sounds too mellow(and too much mid) and it sounded much better with a Eminence Red Fang when I compared.
I hope that they will change speaker when it's in production.
The Sound reminds me of a GA-40 and tweed Dlx Fender with a touch of my CS-40 :-)
It also got an useful EQ: Bass, Mid, Treble and Cut.
It's not a hi-gain amp but it can do everything from Jazz, Blues, Rock...

Looking forward to see it in production!

Tried it today myself, and I agree totally about the "speaker issue".
Either a Red Fang or having a closed back with the Celestion G-12H. (Red Fangs prefer closed backs as well by the way)
The amp sounds really good and delivers a more powerful clean tone than I remember. Really great headroom for a 2x6V6 power section!

Regarding the overdriven tones, there seems to be endless variations tweaking the knobs 8)

With the right speaker/cab I´m pretty confident that this will be yet another big hit from the Mad Professor team.
