A head with a touch screen and expensive service plans that plays a clip during all of your shows that says "Played on my iAmp"?

Overpriced and overhyped?

Hey if it has tone...

I liked the playing on the video clip.

Wish they'd quit teasing and show us what the @&#$ it is.

(I'm guessing touch-screen amp head? Who knows - 30 years from now that might be all there is. )

A programmable amp that allows you to gig solo - no guitars, drums, keys, etc. Like bass karaoke!

Doesn't anyone remember the mysterious product that was going to change the entire world according to every media outlet for about eight months running?

It was the Segway.

Mysterious hype is always a bad sign.

my guess is its a small, digital device that can download apps along the lines of effects, tuners, frequency analyzers, w/e, and that connects in the signal chain like a regular effect pedal would
