The output tubes are 6BK5s. Obscure, yes, but great and forgotten. Phase inversion is done with 6GU7s. Various types are used throughout the preamp stages: 6AU6, 6BJ6, 6CB6, 6BN6, 5BQ7, 6AK5, and others. No 12AX7s, of ANY brand. How many tubes? TWENTY-THREE tubes in total. Including eight 6BK5 outputs. It might be the most complex tube guitar amp available today....

Changing and sourcing for replacement tubes is gonna be a major major nightmare. The price of 23 tubes can buy you a decent guitar.

Vast ranges of tone are available from the G-1000. We cannot even begin to explain its flexibility. The G-1000 is NOT intended for middle-aged “tone questers”, who believe that they will be able to play like Eric Clapton by simply spending a lot of $$$ on equipment. We HATE those people. The G-1000 is intended for the intrepid experimenter, not the pathetic imitator. Tone questers are invited to DIE.

.....G-1000 is made on a custom basis only and should be available in late 2008. Expected retail price is US $ 5000.

I actually laughed my ass off at this one. Doesn't he know the majority of people who can actually AFFORD his US$5000 amp are the.....middle-aged tone questers he invited to die!!?

omfg is that amp for real?

that would look so dope with a matching F***ing F***er 4x12 cab.

It's for real, I think.

They previously made a pedal which some of you may have heard of called the MetaSonix Buttprobe - basically made lots of weird unusable noise (though I never heard one, but probably even less usable than most of the sounds you can get from a Fuzz Factory) and that was $500. They sold all of them that they made. Somebody somewhere wants this amp (hint: it isn't me - I just posted it for you guys to have a laugh).

Anyway... Nice amp
