That is so ludicrously silly that I kind of want one.
specs are pretty good, considering the price… looks nice too. +1

Want!
Wait, it's a computer?
Ok, seriously wth?

What I would like to see is an amp with 2 inputs, 1 x 1/4 and 1 x XLR and a USB socket to connect to a PC/Laptop. The nearest I can find is the Mustang series which have a USB but only 1 or 2 x 1/4 inputs. Come on you amp producers. There is not only me interested in the setup.
