EEEEEEEEEK Good prices!  :o

If that isn't an intentional Screamer-contender then I don't know what is... price points are so similar.

The Cali and Plexi and just the individual amp names of the amps in the Alchemist series.

I can't say I've ever been a fan of Bogners and this one is no exception (based only on the vids, mind). The major low point for me is the built-in effects. I guess this stems from being totally sold on the "less is more" approach to amps, e.g. one channel, no effects etc.

Personally, I think it would've been better to ditch the effects and lower the price a bit. These are always points that let amps down - reverb, delay - as everyone likes different variations on those effects.

Aside from all this, its kind of hard to get excited about a product that differs very little to other, similar-priced amps on the market.
