Oh, a $350 amp?[1] then?
Linking a store page just to illustrate that price tags are pointless when you talk about musical instruments, and also to give people who don't know an impression of what these $$$ go for.
You still need a sound system to get the sound out of a plug-in, and PA systems certainly aren't free. The cost of a comparable PA system + free plug in will easily exceed the cost of this amp.
This is why talking about $$$ while comparing a plug in vs. speaker hardware is kind of silly.
>I think it sounds good for a hobby project though!
And it's great that we have this project! The project is great, the documentation is lacking, the title is not good at all.

- keyth72 6y agoOk ok, used it's $350, but mine's the Tweed version. MSRP at $600. But yes all good points and further proves that more money does not mean better sound.
- fuzzfactor 6y agoEither way it can cost $600 just to replace the tubes with hand picked vintage NOS, which usually does mean better sound and response.
