I love those things....I saw them at NAMM and hear that they sound incredible.

Alisha, sorry for the side question but are you related to Director Jeff Tremaine?

Just asking

Wow! I am afraid to ask the MSRP.
On a side note, I was standing on stage on Saturday night with my 330 and my Tonelab and my bass player started asking for the over/under on how long before I get a Vox amp. This may significantly reduce that number.

C'mon, Alisha, 'fess up. I see an amazing family resemblance!

I'm left a bit cold seeing these small piggybacks. Until I look at the weight of the components; then I suppose it makes sense to break it into two parts. But as a combo, this would probably only weigh about 50 pounds. I'm waiting to hear one--they certainly have the tech chops.

Nope, not related

Our last name was originally 'Turetski' but a couple generations ago there was a big family blow-up and the ten brothers and sisters each took different last names. Tremaine was on the side of a bread truck.

Turetski...I thought you looked a bit Polish.

Yup

Dad's side...

AC15 Heritage Head & Cab has a 12-inch VOX/Celestion Alnico Blue speaker... and thats a GOOD thing.

Weight Head 14.3 kgs / 31.52 lbs
Weight Cabinet 14.4 kgs / 31.74 lbs

63 lbs is not light for a 15W amp, although carrying it in 2 peices helps.

Sells in UK for £424.99 which is about $857 in real money, but I dont see it for sale in the USA yet.

I've seen $999 for the head & $649 for the cabinet (US dollars).
The combo is $1399. POTR has'em on their main page.
I want to test drive one.

Alisha, a friend told me his fathers story: Standing in line for work after emigrating from Poland, he noticed all the non-English guys were being sent away. His brother was asked his name, gave it and was sent home. The foreman asked him and in a heavy Polish accent he replied "Thorpe" and got a job.
