Anyone know what time Ampeg was set to reveal at NAMM? West coast time, but should be soon, me thinks.

It would be a monstrous letdown if that's the only addition to the Heritage lineup this year.

Looks like it's a Micro CL: Ampeg: Classic Series - MICRO-CL Stack

List is $3359, posted sale price is $2399, street should be less than that. My dealer quoted me $1999. When I ordered an 8Pro two years ago list was $2519, posted price was $1699, and I locked one in at $1499. Of course, mine never arrived either.

Estimated street price is $2399, same as the HSVT-CL. Of course, you should be able to get either head for significantly less than that with typical negotiation. The 8Pro's last posted street price was $1799, and of course they never even reached market. Steep increase that will likely...

The 8Pro has an MSRP equal to the Heritage SVT-CL ... $3359. That means an increase in the street price for the 8Pro in the $500 ballpark. Ouch. BOB, where are you and have you seen the news regarding your beloved 8Pro...

... given it's apparently been next to impossible to track down a new VR or CL even from overseas since last year.

I think they've been positioning some of the high-end gear in that manner, given it's apparently been next to impossible to track down a new VT or CL even from overseas since last year. But, given the limited production numbers I don't think the overseas versions are going to completely...

I clearly see the point of the strategically worded "Designed and Assembled in the USA" catchphrase. I personally am willing to give these products a legit shot to impress me. My SVT-VR from Vietnam is an awesome head, and much prefer it over the USA SVT-CL and USA 6Pro that I owned prior...

I've already locked in an order for an Heritage SVT-CL, they're supposed to arrive late March to early April.

I just received the NAMM Preview email from Ampeg, and the 7PRO AND 8PRO are listed as new products.

Ampeg has a ton of fired up fans here awaiting the pics etc.

excellent post. I'm fired up looking forward to seeing and hearing the new gear. I'm certain we've all been waiting a very long time for Ampeg to bring new (or "new") gear to the marketplace.
