Coolest thing is that it uses only 2% the power of comparable tubes. But it's confusing: There is already a model of tube called 6P1 (1). Anyway, who is this for? Engineers/instrument designers? Korg to use internally? (1) htt

Yes what ryanSrich said. Try adding some example projects that have worked, some pictures and some campaigns. The site almost looks like an internal VPN search that I shouldn't be accessing, but you should be making it irresistible.
