Speaking of Ampeg, I played through this adorable thing the other night.  Thunderbird for perspective.

I was close to buying one of those about 12 years ago. Good sound and cool look. I ended up buying a 1x15 Acoustic combo.

It's good to see that new products are coming. I am aware people think Yamaha have been to laidback after aquiring Ampeg, but from a service perspective it was a huge leap from day one. I wanted to stop servicing Ampeg because of poor support years back, all that changed after the takeover. Noone stands behind their products like Yamaha, be it a warranty repair or a vintage product. They have helped when I have repaired 50 year old organs or even minidisc decks! So I believe they have put in a lot of work after the takeover, and customers can enjoy both old and new products. What's not to like🙂

That's really good to hear.  In my experience, everything Yamaha makes is good.  Glad to hear the company is as good as their products.
