I really do genuinely admire the guy ..... but this is now embarrassing / cringey for both Y/T Influencers and TB to keep hype'ing

Yeah, I’m officially over it. I now have zero interest in this non-existent product.

This product is a little late to the party. He will get a handful of sales from yt influencers maybe as i cant see him giving out free ones.

“Modeling is just not fun. It doesn’t give you any sort of feeling. You gotta shake the pant legs and feel that air”: Dave Friedman, who’s built amps for Jerry Cantrell, Steve Stevens, and Chris Shiflett, is not ready to hop off the tube train

The amp guru looks back on a career of modding Marshalls, building rigs for Eddie Van Halen, and developing his most simple product ever – and looks forward to the future of NAMM and boutique tech

Dave builds and sells amps for a living. You’ll likely never get anything positive out of him regarding modeling.

This is taking so long that Studio Rat Paul has visibly aged since one of the earlier NAMM videos with Blug

Without having to watch Thomas Blug’s 10 hour livestream videos, any updates on this?

Coles notes , He will be back at Guitar summit in Germany at the end of September at which time he hopes to be able to give and update on release date

I have no skin in the whole game, but I agree: I wouldn't expect the butcher to teach and recommend me on veggie products (There surely are some, that do, but I'd bet they are a minority).

Oh, TB... Why couldn't you just update/"maintain" the Amp1 line. I mean, you do and those sell, but I hope all the time and money that went into the AmpX will pay out.

Likely end of September at Guitar Summit.

My guess is "We are still working on it" with an estimated release in 2026.

I ended up buying the Amp 1 Iridium Edition today for a fair price used.

“In September we might be able to predict a release date”

Sounds promising
