I have been away from the harmonica scene for a while but just noticed the new harpgear 15watt 2x8" amp with built in reverb, etc.

Anyone tried one yet? Any feedback??

From the HarpGear website 10-28-13-Recently, we announced a new 15W amplifier coming soon. It is a 15W 2x8" amplifier with reverb. It is loosely based on a fender blackface princeton reverb amplifier. While I was in Clarksdale MS last month I had Deak Harp take it for a test spin. It will debut in carbon fiber tolex with a black faceplate and silver writing. The grillcloth will be a silver variant. I will be offering them for $1150 for the initial 10. After that they will go to $1250. I will be accepting preorders that will ship within 6 weeks of today. After the first batch of 10 are gone there will be a small delay while we wait for a restock on cabinets. They are tonally different then the Double Trouble and the circuit is entirely different. The tone of the new 15W amplifier is more distorted with a warmer bassier tone. It is much more Chicago blues if you will while the DT is a bit cleaner with a more rockin blues / Jason Ricci tone. Give the video a listen and see what you think. Here is the link to the video footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ5SDUjp3Fg

Very nice looking and sounding amp. I'm a fan of 8" speakers.
