There’s lots of issues around the 2000 onward guitars. The PEG forum covers a lot of them but you need to go to the non-legendary years to dig it out. Gordon’s a nice guy though. Just a shame he went off piste....
"The most efficient amplifier in the world is the Wave Modulator or Class 'D' (not Digital but the fourth development i.e. Class A, B, C and D). This requires two amplifiers working together, one amplifies the upper half of the wave and the other the lower half."
Class D is certainly efficient but that is NOT how it works at all, in fact that's more or less a description of Class B! Class D is a switching amplifier.
Then...
"It was invented in the 1940's in England to amplify tube or valve radar waves but couldn't handle the speed of audio frequencies - until now!"
Utter bollocks. The audio spectrum is 20Hz to 20KHz, but radar frequencies are in the MHz range - ie a thousand to a million times higher.
And...
"This incredibly efficient Class A/D guitar amplifier has no negative feedback, just like a Class A valve amp."
Firstly there is no such thing as Class A/D - there are no combination classes other than Class AB - and secondly negative feedback has nothing to do with the operating class, you can have any class with or without NFB. Some guitar amps don't have negative feedback, including the Vox AC30 and Fender Tweed Deluxe, but these are actually Class AB amps.
Even allowing for the marketing department just being allowed to make up any sort of florid technobabble they wanted, that doesn't speak very highly of the company actually having a clue what they were doing.

I think Dan is based around Merseyside with an amp workshop - I sometimes see him at various guitar shows with a stand and working with Gordon/Patrick Eggle Guitars
Not saying he is the only one involved with PEG on the amps, but believe there is some tie in at the moment
