I'm curious.

Hopefully they are nicely priced and done right. Would be awesome.

hope they are true to the original circuits and point to point. AND cheap.

This:

point to point.

would make this:

AND cheap.

impossible, unfortunately.

If they're going to have handwireds they're probably going to be a little much. Just look at Handwired Vox and Handwired Orange compared to the PCB versions.

Is that big news? What about these guys and their ilk? I've played one of the big 3x10" Combo amps and it sounded awesome. It was also extremely expensive though.

i know.....
hence the
would be cool for smaller combos though to do it right, then the price wouldn't be obscene. of course they do have the vintage status going for them so they'll probably sell like hot cakes regardless of what the circuits are.

Truth. That or people will just continue to seek out the original ones if they are priced about the same. Or the price of the originals will go up and then these won't sell. Interested to see some deets on these reissues

Mmm I'd rather get a Magic Z1 (again), or buy a Valclone: http://www.valclone.com/HOME.html

Zinky has been the brand owner for years. Nice stuff from what I hear but not vintage accurate or anything. New owner is a company related to Pigtronix, and the 2014 amps must be theirs.

Thanks for the input. Like I said, I actually liked the sound of the new model I've played once, but if I recall correctly it was priced around 3000€. Thats about what I can spend on gear after two or three years of saving. I would REALLY have to want it. Hopefully the new ones sound just as awesome but don't cost that much.

Nice but they'll probably sell for over $2k like the Magnatone reissues :|

I played one of these today the thunderbolt.
It was fantastic just a really nice amp I like the lack of controls on the amp, the tone stack was real simple but amazingly versatile.
Definitely not like a blues only thing, took fuzz really well which was not something I was expecting.
Thinking of getting the Thunderbolt + I like the idea of selectable wattage.
