I'm curious what have happened with the Classic 450, simplified, thus more desirable version of well praised TC Electronic head?

Are there any issues with them which I'm not aware of, or they are discontinued only because people prefer shiny, blinking things?

Exactly... just recently I had a chance to play one of those and it sounded huge as none of the other class-d or even transistor amps.

Too bad it's only available in version that blinks more than a darts machine. New or used, not a single one available...

Is it different from the RH 450 besides toneprint on the RH and digital outs on the classic?

RH heads do not have TonePrints, the BH do. The RH and the Classic are pretty much the same with the exception of the Classic lacking the tuner and semi parametric EQ as well as the memories.

Edit: In other words the Classic is a stripped down RH450.

It blinks too much! I don't care for the tuner and presets. The rest of it is awesome, but I hate those pinball shinning lights.

Something about a built in tuner that screams cheap toy to me. Maybe it was that silly Crate guitar amp that some guy I knew had years ago, with built in effects and tuner?..(this was before expensive modeling amps were a thing) That thing was horrible..the look, the sounds..(maybe I heard it with my eyes 1st)..though it was cheap as heck.. ..eek.
