Yeah, the $1500 price point is a real tough obstacle. The Empeg had NO competition to speak of, so the price was worth it (says the owner of two Empegs.) This thing has some features that make it nicer than the competition, but those features come at an unbelievable cost.

Didn't we just go through this with the Empeg? I thought the idea was to make more consumer-friendly products and stay away from the fringe features which jack up the price but only appeal to the high-end crowd... This thing will NOT sell in large quantities at $1500, of that I am certain.
