The timing is funny, I actually expected my UFO2 to be packed on Friday, but maybe now early next week (I am #4 on the list as of typing this...and shipping from IL to MN is quick thanks to geography).
Yeah, I don't think you could ask for a better review: --Sounds amazing, like 'best ever' sound...you cannot get any better --Cheap to buy, comparing against much more expensive products --Great brand, company, story behind it all
Unless I missed it, I think he could have touched on the tubes (life, replacement, etc.) as this is likely going to be the first tube amp for the people watching. I think the angle could have easily been there are only 4 tubes, they are cheap and easy to get, they generally last a long time (well, wildcard on the rectifier, which might be a liability if the new-production ones burn out and you send people online to buy NOS ones...), and there is no biasing or tweaking required. In other words, a great starter tube amp!
The only caveat (not necessarily downside) which he covered well is the fact it has a limited output...but with a pair of Klipsch or other higher-sensitivity speakers, not an issue.
The waitlist is currently 492 deep as of typing this, and wonder if we push it well over 500 in the coming weeks as new orders are added?
