I don't think they're out yet. I'd like to know if it will drive a 4 ohm cab, anyone know?

It has an 8 ohm 1/4" jack for speaker output. Keep in mind it only puts out 2W via a 12AT7 used as a power tube. Sort of like the Nano amp. I can see it becoming a popular collectors item if the price is low enough.

Power Tube
.....12AT7
Preamp Tube(s)
.....1 x 12AX7 preamp
Line Out
.....1 (1/4" on rear for feeding another amp)
Inputs
.....1 (1/4")
Aux Input
.....1/8"
Controls
......Volume
......Tone
Speakers
.....1 x 4" 8 ohms
Speaker Output
.....1 (8 ohm)
Gizmos
.....VU meter with clean to overload indicator

Closed back.

I hope that panel on top is some kind of vent, otherwise it could double as an egg fryer or cheese sandwich toaster.

With a chrome drawer handle & hi-cap battery, it would make a modern art deco version of the old Pignose.

(Fender is pushing the sanity lope on this one.)

I haven't seen the inside yet, but considering the "cab" is the chassis. I imagine a pcb mounted tube sockets, possibly even with the the ot pcb mounted.

it would be real simple to make Garolite board and give it the hand-wired treatment. I bet MM is already winding iron for them.
