Has the G5222 amp been discontinued ?
Went to try to get one and no shop in Canada seems to have any in stock.
And the US shops are saying it is not available.

Was most annoyed when I went to buy a Champ 600 only to find it was discontinued and replaced by a POS.
Then discovered the Gretsch (a Fender company) was offering basically the same amp in different clothing.

:P The local shop was able to finally obtain one for me after a few weeks of waiting, just picked it up this evening!

Q/C paper glued inside the amp case say Fender as does the warranty card.

So am happy, at least till the mod fever sets in.

The MGR price looks good until you notice the shipping fee :

Interesting that the June issue of Guitar Player that just came out has a review of this amp.

And it appears on the Gretsch web site:
