No idea what the price would be. I'd hit up Ben and ask him. These are all customizable so the price will vary.
The mid boost is killer. If you ever order a Verellen ask for it. So much tone!!

IMO, the tube cage and badge as shown in your pics *NEED* to be part of the production run! Same with the color of the cab!
Just saw this on Facebook - they are taking orders now. 6 week lead time. Price is $2700 USD. 100 Watts via 4 Tung 6550 and 4 JJ ECC83. Too rich for my blood, but maybe someone on here will be lucky enough to have some cash burning a hole in his/her amp budget pocket!
The story: I'm downsizing my rigs and figured if I was selling the meatsmoke head and 810 and 215 I would get something amazing. I liked the idea of a combo but don't like the idea of a boring normal design. I've always liked the look of flip tops but the tone was never my cup of tea. So, I approached Ben about building a fliptop. Turns out he's been toying with the idea of a combo and latched onto the idea. So we have out the specs I wanted in the head and I left the cabinet design entirely in their hands, although the color was my choice. The neo speaker is because I loved my nEarful cab I built and we wanted something light and efficient.
In the end it's amazing, it's convenient to move and feels rock solid in either configuration.

That is beautiful. I love my Meatsmoke preamp paired with a Mesa Buster 15 combo, but it doesn't look nearly as sexy as this.
Thanks for the heads-up.
I could, but it would leave a gaping hole in my checkbook.
I have some beautiful rigs, but that....
Hoo boy.
100 watts from a quad of 6550's? For some reason I'm thinking that a quad of 6550's would provide more like around 170 watts. Now if it was a quad of 6L6's, then around 100 watts would be what I would expect. Is there something going on here that I am not understanding? (which happens alot!

Just saw an upate post on the Demeter FlipTop version, different specs, priced about the same.
Even tho the $$ are high, it is GREAT to see hand-crafted versions of the Fliptop, other than the Ampeg version of course.

Makes sense, based on his price for other amps and cabs. I thought it'd be close to $3k, though probably a little under that mark.
