The AlNiCo speaker seems like a nice ( expensive ) addition, tube rectifier and the design is retro. But with a street price of $800, there must be some catch, i have this feeling that somehow there must be something wrong. Or maybe Ampeg is just very kind with the pricing on these amps. It's got good reviews on HC.

Soundwise, the amp is at least as good as or better than each of the amps you mentioned. Plus there's no printed circuit board and it's a very simple circuit. They're not $299 because they suck. They're selling them cheaply because they really didn't advertise them, so they didn't sell (I bought one though because I like Ampeg amps), and they need to move them. I use a reverb pedal with mine, because keep in mind that if you like reverb it doesn't have it.
