New Peavey all tube modeling amp?

[WhoFan]

Peavey has a new amp coming out that has some sort of way to change amp model sounds out of an all tube head...... anyone seen or played one of these amps yet? There is a small write up on it in the new Guitar World mag

Similar idea to the Mesa Road King i think, only a bit less complicated. It just seems overkill to me, the Roadking doesnt sound as good as other Mesa'a IMO, because it is too complicated, sure if you have hours to spend on it, it can produce some good stuff, but most of us just wanna rock.

Excellent point. I'm very skeptical of the appeal of any equipment that takes more than a couple knob twists to get going.

However, I do very much enjoy spending hours goofing with modeling devices

Gimme a few pedals and a synth I can make noises with twists of knobs for ever (ouch), but thats a bit different to fiddling with a million knobs just to get a basic clean/crunch sound out of a mesa.
