I have been complaining about rig weight and have been strongly considering Markbass - but I'll wait a bit longer and see how these pan out!

| | | | Price concerns me. It is low enough that corners may have been cut in r&d, components, andmanufacturing. I'm interested, but concerned. |

LOUD has been making strides to re-build public confidence and hopefully these amps will do just that.
I really dig the fact they are selling them as seperate cabs - bet they'll sound great with a tube head.

I'm thinking the PF350/115 might be the rig for me. In another thread, it was pointed out that maybe they'll make an all tube head for the new Portaflexes? That'd be the hotness right there.

I really did the fact they are selling them as seperate cabs - bet they'll sound great with a tube head. | I'm not talking about where it is made, but how well it is made. This price point wreaks of just slapping an existing preamp to an existing power module, putting it in an inexpensive box, and selling it.
This might be a great little amp; time will tell. I do like the looks of the cabinet though. |

So, while I was at work on Friday, I suspected they'd come down and took screenshots of the AMS page(s). I could post them here if people like (I know I know... duh  ), but I want to scan through TB policy first to see if it's against the rules.

I edited out some things, I didn't think we needed to see their current deals on mic cables and such.
