I just visited the Glockenklang website, and it appears they no longer offer most of the amp heads that they did. The only one mentioned was the "Steamhammer". Is the company in trouble? Just curious. I would love to try one of their amps, but have never had the chance. Thanks much.

Glockenklang changes?

All the heads now show up in the discontinued section, as well as all non-Steamhammer combos. Cabinets remain in production.
A few possible scenarios:
1. They can no longer source parts to build their legacy amps.
2. They have designed and are launching a new line of amps.
3. They are in trouble and are cutting back drastically on product offerings.
I don't see any clues as to which one is correct.

I'm not really shocked that the Steamhammer is the one current amp.
- It has a different power amp module, (ICE,) than the earlier class D amps, and Glockenklang stated that it was directly replacing the Blue Soul. It seemed like it was a matter of time before phasing out the two other earlier amps.
- Everything prior to the Blue Soul is/was rackmount related.

Those make sense to me. I hope I can get to play one of their amps someday. However, no one around my area uses/sells Glocks. Thanks much.
