This looks to be a new combo from Raezer's Edge. It states the preamp is a refined Polytone MiniBrute preamp.
Here's a vid I found. Interested in hearing how it is with a more jazz/archtop tone.

Confirmed. I’ve been playing it for about 6 months. Not worlds away from the Luna, but indeed more polytone. Traditional 3 band EQ, dark/bright switch, and the RE reverb. Plenty loud as well.
As you can see, it comes as a head too.

That looks like a really nice amp.

Cool! [They need to add this to their website!]

I’m really interested in this!

As an RE artist, I was lucky to get asked to record some demos for the new combo. It's a beaut!

Nice! And nice Pat Martino too!

Also, how does the “sidechain” reverb differ from the reverb in the Luna, if at all? One thing I dislike about the reverb in the Luna as well as the Henriksens is the chorusing effect at higher levels.

That's the biggest complaint I hear about the D V Mark Little Jazz and Jazz 12, too. I've had and used both for a few years each. The reverb is OK at the very low levels at which most jazz players use it. But it's pretty much useless above that.........until you get to the top tenth of the range, where it should be labeled "MIke Stern". It's really no longer reverb when set at or near maximum. It's an entirely different effect, and it's pretty good if you want that spacey sound. I used it like that a few times just for that specific effect. But I agree completely that this kind of digital reverb is no substitute for a tank. And it truly deserves to be called weird.

Surprisingly, the reverb in the D V Mark Raw Dawg 250 is also much better in this regard.

Agreed. I think they all use basically the same Belton brick module.
Interestingly, Quilter uses a different module and it’s a lot better IMHO.

Like many jazz guitarists, I only use enough reverb to just sort of fatten the note a little bit. I did turn the reverb all the way up on my DV Mark Raw Dawg 250 and found that it appears to add a fair amount of delay once it gets near the end of the rotation. Calling it the "Mike Stern" setting is not wrong! It was a little weird with my ES-175, a little better with my humbucker Telecaster.

Interesting! I know that certain compression is a part of Polytone sound, but does it come in these videos from amp or from Youtube conversion?
The link in the op didn’t work, this worked just a while ago:

Edit: Oh Skjazz shared it already, sorry!
