Of course.

My statement was hyperbole and stated as an opinion.

The thought isn't drawn from that one video but rather from every single video posted of the amp so far. I know I replied to you, as you posted the video, but I was expressing my feeling in general.

I am a Recto lover and would love for this to bring the best of the old models to an off the shelf model.

I am disappointed in what I am hearing in the videos so much that I don't even have a desire to try one.

The price alone kills my curiosity. You can get an actual F and have it serviced for the cost of the RI.

In the last six months I’ve found two F’s for two of my friends, one here for $2600, and while visiting my buddy in Long Beach another for $1800. Both KILLERS 🤘🏻

Are those the ones listed on reverb for $7K? 🤣

...J/K, any tips for a successful hunt?

Might have got it from someone in the industry for less than he's selling it for

If Boogies are still a C mark, the dealer cost of one is probably around $2450. Common for dealer employees to get gear at cost plus 10%. So the sale price of 2899 would cover that and a little more, if that had been the original deal. Or maybe the seller doesn’t want to burn a bridge with a source with a return. Seems like they got the amp to do a capture/profile and now don’t need it anymore.

If it still hasn’t been snagged yet, that says a lot about the street demand for this amp.

Yeah GC STILL has them in stock. I have a feeling they got the amp right, and got the retail price wrong.

I've said multiple times if they priced these at ($2,799 whihc was the final Multiwatt price) or even $2,499 (since we're getting less features) that they would sell a ton. I can see the IIC+ rationalization for that price point even though I still think that is high. But for the Dual Rectifier even with that aesthetic and slight tonal shift from the 3 channel models, it's still a crazy price point.

I feel the same way. If it was a 1000 lower they would sell tons of these. I would love to have a new version of my old beat up rev-g. Especially with a better loop, but i cant justify the price when i can source a MW dual for less than half of that. I gave $1200 for mine like a year ago or less, and even your old tremoverb, i paid like 16-1700 i think. Honestly shoulda hung on to that one lol.

That Tverb was a great one! I have a line on a Tverb head as well as a minty combo a friend has, probably could get them close to a grand. Also know a guy selling a brand new Triple MW for $1600. As much as I want a RI, damn, I'll wait for the used market. That said, I'm hearing really good things from guys that have them!
 
The used market will lose its shit for a short while. People thinking they can cash in big on the price of this reissue. I did see some older 3 channels on GC for under 1500 (but quite a few a fair bit more) but I’m sure on Reverb people will try and get a lot more than that.
