I struggle to imagine why you would ever need more than two channels, an overdrive and a volume control.

Admittedly I have a three (well, sort of, a clean/crunch channel and a dirty channel) channel amp, but I think that's overdoing it.

I guess the people who own a six channel amp would be wondering why anyone would need an overdrive pedal ;) I think the amp looks cool, and will probably appeal to the Diezel crowd, but I'd never buy it. But then again, I'll probably never buy any tube amp again

I'm just firmly on the digital bandwagon. I totally understand people gassing for amps, loving tubes, but I prefer the versatility, reliability, and tweakability of digital stuff. It also lets me keep my rig a lot more streamlined (ie, no massive pedalboard), and accomodates my ever-shifting tonal tastes better than anything short of a Diezel would.

Too many channels, too many knobs. It can't be good.

It looks crazy but i think that it could be good for a working musician. I mean some pro have like two or three different amps or compromise with some digital stuff for versatility. So if it can really make different sounds that are good and usable it could kinda make sense.

However I agree with plexi ken to a certain extent, I do like a little more. Shared eq and a gain knob.

That is just ridiculous. Give me a 50w/100w Single Channel Marshall and a boost pedal anyday of the week!

Wow, you can even roast a piece of ham where other amps would have a transformer.

I don't even want to think how long they spent in R&D tweaking that amp and doing the layout.

Yes I think it requires levels of dedication that border on insanity.
