    I mean seriously, that's like saying the reason people aren't buying your super high-quality track-day racing car (for a very fair price) are because it doesn't have aircon or electric windows or isn't in metallic pearl...

    My point is that a single channel combo amp without an effects loop or even a built-in reverb is very much a one-trick pony and this statement applies to many of the so-called 'boutique' amps on the market. Sure, the tone may be great but in a band situation you need versatility and  all you can do with this combo is to adjust the treble, mid and bass response but the basic tone will remain the same no matter what you do. For example, if you set it up for a nice rock lead tone then that is what you will get. However, if your band wants to play a nice ballad immediately after the rock number then it will sound pretty naff playing nice arpeggio chords with a rock lead tone. I guess the lack of a buyer so far probably reflects the fact that most players want a versatile multi-channel amp or combo with reverb as a minimum to give the basic tone some depth and space.
    What a load of cobblers
