Mr. Neve, who practically invented the old school sound, goes old school.  But most of us can only dream.  $4000.  If it is as good - in an old way - as the "modern" sounding Portico II channel, it will rule.

AT, you're killing me here...   
I need to be a rock-star or politician (more money)! 
 
The Portico-II Channel has been amazing... and I have serious G.A.S. for a 2nd.
Almost got it... but decided to get a new guitar.
May reverse that decision...  LOL
 
If this new channel is better than the Portico-II, it will be mind blowing.
 

I am almost hoping I don't get one in, Jim.  Almost.
