I have one. Cool device.... but somehow it fried itself and stopped working. I had to send it in for repair for over $100. I think it was under warranty but that was the shipping and handling. I only had it back for about a month or two before it fried itself again somehow. I'd like to get it working again... but try to figure it out myself.

I liked the idea of a post-amp effects loop, as well as the 2 different volume choices by footswitch. I find VVR works pretty much just as well for me for volume control... and it seems not to fry itself nearly as easily while also preserving the life of my tubes.

I was also looking at a used one since my Weber is getting a little tired, but they seem pretty scarce. I've been considering a homebrew load box/re-amp device since the consensus around the Fryette Power Station seems very positive, and the Bad Cat also had extremely positive reviews. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's seen the prices and thought it'd be possible to make something similar for much less -- especially not on here.
