AFAICT the amp is based on the HT-40 chassis and so should be as reliable as those and I read no reports of problems?
Of course it uses 6L6s and we ALL know about modern valves! The good news is Blackstar have always designed their amps so that valve death does not result in collateral damage.

You are welcome Cbilly. I have said this before but, you never know..THEY might be looking in?
I am convinced that a "lower cost" version of the ArtiSAN amplifiers, at least the A15 for starters would sell? PCB based but GOOD PCB where the output valves especially are in metal cased holders.
Scrap the Fe*&^%! EZ81 and use a 'zero failure' bridge rect (maybe with a switchable 'sag' R?) MUCH simpler and cheaper power traff. All valve main path but IC based FX loop.
Maybe a choice of speaker?
MOST importantly! Ship the prototype up to Bonny Sctlnd so that ICBM can critique the voicing and get it right!
