Not seen that before. Ha ha !
Amp sounds pretty good to me.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
But is that not just a symptom of the modern 'video blog' culture rather than Rob Chapman personally? Long before I'd ever heard of YouTube (I'm a relative newcomer to internet access) I noticed that people behaved differently when filming with a video camera - overstepping personal boundaries without a second thought. Nowadays we seem to have a popular culture that aspires to 24/7 open public video access to everything we do as if that'll make our lives meaningful and worthwhile. I don't buy into that.
I had an experience recently where I was being filmed playing some music with a couple of mates for one of them's YouTube channel. I was absolutely fine so long as we were playing music but, as soon as we had finished and my mate was trying to engage me in conversation, all I could think of was that I was still being filmed and turn the bloody cameras off!
If Rob Chapman tried to film me I'd politely but firmly tell him to turn his camera off - he can film himself as much as he likes, though.
Compared to his 'Andersons' persona I thought that was well restrained for Chappers.
I like him, when returning to guitar a year or so ago I found his demos helpful and their horsing about entertaining.
Muck like 'Top Gear' it is wearing a bit thin for me.
I like the amp though, (not so keen on the big 'V styling, but then it is designed to be played not looked at.)
However i don't think i'd ever feel the need for a signature amp or guitar, as that seems a bit egotistical in my opinion. I can just about understand the 'icons/legends' who have them, but they've had plenty of time to build up their egos.

Now tap up Victory for a Viz sig amp and The Silverbaxx has a nice ring to it.
the trapdoor and guard are good ideas.
