New PRS "Tempest" Dumble-Inspired Amps!

[Butch Snyder]

I asked this question earlier. Why aren't they on the PRS website?

 

[Mincer]

Maybe they wait until they are shipped to dealers?

I always thought PRS put early content on their website to entice us.

Maybe its vaporware that hasn't started production except for a few prototypes? Maybe they are waiting for NAMM in January?

Maybe...... Offering a product and mentioning the name "Dumble" is a pretty big deal.

its a sweetwater only amp so that might be the issue. theres an open box 50w amp available for $3870!

I never thought PRS would do anything like that.

cause they dont like money?

It is a popular thing to offer exclusives. Dealers pay a premium to be the only one. No company would turn that down.

Disgusting, just as that MAP business. Musical instrument dealing is broken.

No, I didn't think they would only do something where there is only one avenue to purchase. I thought they would sensationalize it and make it available everywhere.

Ok, I listened to the Sweetwater demo. To me, it sounds a lot like the DG amps, DG 30 and DGT 15.

This sort of thing happens in a lot of industries, where the retailer specifies to the maker what they want exclusively made.
