Any news on the new PT amp yet??

Title says it all... any word yet?

I read somewhere (I forget which site, sorry) that the new PT-100 wasn't ready, they're still working on it.

Word at NAMM was that its a ways out yet. Id say probably Summer at the earliest.

Any info on this? I thought I spotted a Suhr-branded PT-100 in some of the NAMM photos.

You did...but it was a single channel version. I think it was just a prototype for potential "looks" of a new head.

We had a good extensive meeting this week, John is working up a layout, etc. and I'll report in as things move along- one thing's for sure, it's gonna be KILLER.

Details?

I don't want to give up much, as it'll be more fun to just say "here it is!" when it's done, it's just going to be really well thought out, with features that will really make gigging pros lives easier.... and of course epic tone! It's going to look badass too.

Pete, please tell me there wont be too many tone tweaks / improvements... I just ordered a PT-100!

Im not too concerned about midi since I have a CFX4 that will do all of my switching. I just hope I dont miss out on big tone improvements!

I was literally on the phone with credit card in hand ready to order a PT100 when I thought, hmm, maybe I should just wait a bit.

Question is, are we talking 2 months? Or 9 months?

i was going to wait like you but when i heard they were still braimstorming a control layout I didnt get the idea it was close. Id be shocked if the new version materialized for Summer NAMM. Im betting probably more like NAMM 2011.

Tonally we are talking about a couple things- but these are things that could be done to existing heads quite easily, I'm basically very happy with the tones the amp produces now, and so is everyone else it seems, so why mess with a good thing, ya know? So any tone tweaks will be small.... I really think the amp is already one of the, if not THE best, channel switcher for doing the Fender/Marshall thing in one box.

Ok, thanks for the info guys. I'm gonna go ahead and order one on Monday. When the new one is released and better than the original, it'll give me another excuse to upgrade!!
