Yamaha BBT500H Replacement

[Quadzilla]

Anybody have any news on the rumored BBT500H replacement? I know that the rumor has been around for a while now and I simply love the 500 and my only real complaint is power (which is not that bad if you know how to use the 4 volume controls). I'm really hoping that the rumor is true and a replacement is coming out as I find myself using my BBT500H more and more lately. Just about every online dealer is blowing out the current ones for $399. I assume that Yamaha is just waiting for the stocks to be depleated before releasing the replacement (again, assuming the runors are true). Any news or updates would be great! Thanks!

I'm hoping for something similar with more watts (double would be killer) that will be blown out when it's discontinued a year from now

I just picked up a used one for $290 shipped. It rocks! I don't really care about a replacement as I just plug into my Peavey DPC1400x when I need more power. I have been a longtime Ampeg player and this is the closest I have come to giving up my Ampeg Pre. I use the Yammie and a 210 for the small portable rig and when I need more I use it as a pre amp and run it thru the Peavey and 1 or 2 Ampeg SVT410HLF cabs.

WOW!

Ahem, I got a Stewart World 1.2 for more juice if needed!
