All the retailers have dropped the price to $199.99 (I paid $399.99!)

I certainly have received my money's worth from this amp over the 20 months I've had it. The question is: What's the replacement going to be? We'll have to be wary of fizzy power supplies (Mustang III-V anyone?) If I were to guess, there'll be 40-50 watts of SS power, a 12" speaker, an improved looper, and more control knobs, fewer push buttons and menus, and a larger display. If we're lucky--a speaker out, and better I/O--no more soldering direct to the circuit board. Those would be meaningful improvements addressing design shortcomings of the current model. This upcoming model will show whether Fender is listening to their customers needs and wants, or just going for every cent of profit they can extract. Given their precarious financial situation, they would be wise to treat their customers well and rebuild trust. If they cheap out, it'll be hard to maintain their customers. They have a great name in the business, but so did GM in the late '60s, early '70s. We know how that one ended up...

I saw retailers online blowing them out for $150. And I thought I scored a deal when I got mine for $275. :roll:
