What is the most complex tube amp ever made?

[MatrixClaw]

Road king was ment to be versatile but it only had one sound and a lot of switches.
I got rid of mine because it was just a recto and not really capable of anything else.
Weighed a ton and cost a ridiculous amount to replace the tubes.
Marshall JVM 410 should be in the list because that actually is versatile. 12 tones and all ones you would use.

Yeah I had both versions of the RK and it is no better than the, much cheaper, Roadster IMO. All the cab and tube switching stuff is cool, but most people aren't going to use the cab switcher and the tube switching has a very minimal affect on the tone. For half the price, you can buy the Roadster and get 95% of the way there.

The Zuta GBG120 is a good contender. It's damn good though!

The Zutas are interesting because they seem very much like "I'll build my own Bogner!" type amps. My understanding is the story was that the Zuta guy was working with Bogner to make a 25W Bogner Ecstacy or something. Somehow that didn't work out, so he kept working on it and released it as the LA25.

To me that Bogner thing can be heard on the LA25 and GBG120 where they seem to be a bit more on the darker side and have to turn up the highs just like Bogner. I like Bogners, but I haven't heard any clip where the Zuta stuff blows me away soundwise.

I really love the industrial design of the GBG120 but the 4599 € price tag is a non-starter for me. Especially for a complex amp that inexplicably doesn't come with MIDI support built in but needs an extra 249€ box for that.
