However it does sort of agree with the idea that high end guitar gear is veblen goods

Just wonderful to see.
That sort of thinking may have gone down well in the old Communist Russia of the past but I will always disagree with it.
However over in the other thread people are genuinely saying they would pay 10k for a guitar, a lump of wood and metal, and whatever their provenance I really find it hard to believe that they don't fit the definition of veblen goods.
People can spend their money on what they want, whether it fits an economic pattern or not is fairly irrelevant to them I suspect.
Like all economic concepts it's just a way of explaining how a certain graph looks, it's nothing to get upset about.
Personally I don't find whatever people spend their money on to be in any way offensive, even if it is "£10k for a guitar, a lump of wood and metal".
I mention this because the amp just boomeranged back to me. It would have been impolite to refuse at the price.
Running a BOSS FRV-1 reverb pedal in the loop adds to the Fender clean channel illusion a little bit. Some means of removing the subtractive EQ from the circuit altogether - à la Fender Champ - might be interesting.
That figures.
