If it's lightweight and has a built in B3K, I might take one as soon as they're available. My only concern is the power being too much for my use but we'll see!

There is no too much power:
input gain, master volume and blend have tone+volume very adjustable.
I NEED SPECS

Oh that is sweet looking.
New best head for metal, lol
Can't have too much power! If it's in the same price bracket as GK MB heads they're going to be selling like hot cakes.

I'm sooo not a pedal guy: does the darkglass stuff actually have tubes in it?
My thoughts exactly. If DG can keep this in the $1/1Watt price range, this will be right on par with many of the other heads in this market.
I may consider selling a backup amp and move my main amp to this one.

The GK MB heads, and Mesa D800: same ball park.
Nice ball park.

Sure, it might not be the biggest market... But could you imagine Doug running it like the MBs?
a DG700, DG500 and a DG200 similar to an MB800/500/200?
Holy sh!t I'd totally buy a DG200 to shove in a gig bag as a backup amp and for practice. It would be like a bigger B7K. Then again a B7K is in the $400 range, so running a pedal with a power section might be tough to do for cheaper. Still an awesome concept for guys like me that consider Darkglass to be the majority of where their tone comes from.
Chef, over on the FX side of the TB universe, Dark Glass is the shizzle my dizzle of drive pedals. Doug gets premium prices for premium pedals. This amp offering is likely rocking the FX forum by now.
Edit: actually there's no thread about this in FX... yet.

I'd skip the 500 and make a 300w instead of a 200w version. That's plenty of options. I'd still imagine it's quite a challenge to jump from pedals straight into the amplifier business, so I'm going to wait and see what others have to say about it, but if the quality is anything like the pedals then it's going to be a serious bit of kit.
This is mouthwatering !! Like if Apple had designed a bass amp.
Can't wait to see the specs on this.
And funny thing, there's a mistake on the prototype from the picture. Lo-Mid frequencies read 500hz - 1khz - 500hz. You can never have to many 500hz options lol

Except unlike Apple I'm sure it won't only be compatible with their own brand cables, become useless when the next version comes out, cost twice what a similar amp costs and be made in China by workers who commit mass suicide
Just before I saw this I had been looking at amps online to try and find one that I really liked. I finally settled and then found this. So now I'm unsettled again.
Nah the dirt is CMOS based. I've used a B7k for a few years. Honestly the dirt is unremarkable, it doesn't emulate an SVT or anything like that. The real power of the B3k/B7k is in the EQ frequencies. They're a little unorthodox but work REALLY well in a mix.
