That being said, this has got to be the ugliest piece of gear I've seen in a very long time. Kyle, if you're reading this, I apologize for the diss. I also apologize directly if this particular amp belongs to anyone here. :facepalm

Does anyone else have something they think fits in the ugly category?
 
They just shared a picture of an all white one that looks slick imo. This color scheme does no favors lol

Sparkle guitars for me. The Ernie Ball line has a few models that have the sparkle finish. Some need to collect them all but I think they are hideous
 
I get Batman vibes from it. I don’t hate it.

I probably wouldn’t choose it amongst other, more subdued options, but I’m sure uglier amps exist.
 
It's a lot of look, but weird is good IMHO. Totally needs a matching cab, though. As long as they're going for *a look*, maybe a trapezoidal shape like the old Rickenbacker Transonics.
 
It’s the CAT flavor of the vibe.. like the amp
is installed in the cockpit cabin of a gargantuan
land excavator.

Life is art..live yours in bioluminescent technicolor

What I’ve been screamin’ from the rooftops is
these amp maker dudes need to get their initials
or last name off the amplifier.
This ain’t a Lariat or King Ranch package
-it’s my damn amp I paid you for
- your name goes on the backside,
Unless YOU write my songs.
It’s also tacky.. “a stinky cologne” flavor of the vibe

Unfortunately, the Leo Fender wonderkinds in this world don’t make amplifiers we keep long and lose herds of hard earned money & time with resale,
-for what?

-likely due to they can’t play anything worth a shit themselves.
-and now I’m paying them to design what I play & stab through..nope.

The new breed of bad ass builder’s can play like a Mother’f*cker, not a designer looking at it & getting YT subs & likes.. with that shilling “certainty” creating SHIT guitar & amplifier tone.

-these new breed of sonic Jedi’s take that gift and apply to capacitor’s instead of notes, etc.

If y’all have to,
-man at least make it rad and don’t FUCH it up
with your name in giant capital letters on MY amp☠️
 
The real bad-ass’ery will be the infamous
One adjuster control on the front side of the amp.
One control for everything YOU & your finger filth
can muster up in that moment the signal comes through.
Them transformers..they’re like your nutz,
that’s why channel switcher’s.meh..vanilla strain..
-you’re stretching the balls outta’ the amplifier out man-you want your nuts pulled apart for mediocre
results..OUCH!

No worries my innovative heads,
-I’m not talking Stockton Rush type
maverick beligerance here, btw
 
Apart from the color, I actually quite like the design.

I wanted to like it because I was really close to buying one (instead got the used Ares). It's not that it's a bad looking design, I just didn't want anymore sheet metal chassis amps. I've had so many over the years I've gotten to the point I don't like that aesthetic anymore.
