Basically haha. It was modelled off an original block letter 5150 (stated by Misha in an interview).
Still looks awesome though.

So after all the forum dramas and Misha insisting it's made in the US, turns out it's made in China after all lol.

I wonder how this compares to the Laney Ironheart series... I know of a really good deal on an IRT-30 combo ;)

I'm really looking for something like this but with less parts / options and I'm really hoping to pay something around the $5k mark for it. Need it to be hand-wired by someone in the US and sold with a thick layer of marketing so I feel reassured about all things 'authentic'.

Mostly it should just observe the: 'more you pay / less you get' rule.

I remember the conversation from the amp forum at harmony central some years ago.
a guy said he could make a marshall clone cheaper than some company making them at the time.
he was hounded and trolled for days bro.
he then started making them, the company is still going. memory's a bit thin but the amps he makes are still available and sort after.
one of those amps Molly was talking about above.
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

The old block letter is a beast with some basic mods and a decent cab, cover both of those in the factory and this should be awesome.

Wish I still had my old block letter....
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
