I posted this on another forum yesterday evening and they guessed the amp. The way I did the hint gave it away a little too easily so I'm gonna change that up a little here.
If you saw the answer on the other forum don't spoil it for others trying to guess.

Here we go...

This amp caught my eye a few years ago, but was put on the backburner since there were none for sale. It's one that people seem to forget about and doesn't come up for sale overly often. One popped up on GC's website about 3-4 months back. I was behaving myself and resisting the urge to buy. After sitting on it, the temptation became too much. Called the GC store and worked a decent enough price that I was willing to pay. Hopefully it'll be here by the end of next week and arrive safely.

What is the amp you may be asking. Not going to reveal it until it gets delivered or if someone figures it out. I'll give you some basic info, specs and a hint. Maybe you can guess what it is.
2 channels, 50 watt, 6L6 power tubes. Sort of considered a sleeper amp. Great reviews from those who played/bought one, but poor product launch and it didn't sell very well because of poor marketing. Only produced for 2 years from 2012 to 2013. Company isn't known for high gain amps but this one is in that realm. Came in both 1x12 combo & head form. I got the head. My understanding is a bunch of combos were made, but only a couple hundred heads. Both the head and combo had a somewhat unique tolex wrap.

Hint:

Fender Machete combo amp

**** doh! @greatmutah beat me to it. †**
 
Well now that the cat's out the bag...

Does anyone own or have played Fender Machete? I only have old youtube clips to go by and haven't heard in it person. Obviously those clips sounded good enough for me to buy one. Still interested in current opinions and what I can expect.
