Surprised I've seen nothing here on these. Did I miss it?

I'm not sure that they've been formally announced yet although their existence is just about as secret as the USAF's "remote operating location" known as Area 51.

:lol:

I like the Champ, but $1k is pricey.

+1

Especially so, given the fact that a used Deluxe Reverb or Princeton Reverb can be had for the same (or less).

Any way you slice it, the 5E1 is but a one-trick pony.

I wonder if there will be any differences between these amps and the previously offered versions, ie: pre-EC-Tremo

For $1K the Champ needs to have a tube rectifier!
