This amp has a fender style preamp (tube) with a class-D power amp. The correct way to do what musicman is trying to do.
I may be getting an evaluation unit for review.

Looks interesting
-
I would have liked to have heard a demo with a lot less Reverb. A good comparison with the Jazzamp TEN would be nice.

Please let us know if you do. I have been looking more information on this amp.

Open back?

Tubes are as much heating devices as they are diodes and amplification devices. The typical vacuum tube converts 50% of the energy applied to it into electronic "work." (i.e., diode switching or amplification, depending upon the design) The other 50% is emitted as heat into the "room."
Tube devices thus are open box designs.

FWIW, the McGowan clip above is not my cuppa, in terms of sound. I like his playing. I would, however, knob-twist to achieve a different tone. There is a heck of a big mid-bass hump going on in the clip. Reminds me of my old FDR with the bass on 7 and the treble on 7.
It'd be nice to hear some mids, IMO. I'd bet that the amp can do it.

It might be the speaker? What speaker are they using?

I think the amp (in prototype form) sounds better here:

So do we know anything about the actual circuitry? What tubes used? What blend of tubes and SS? Digital reverb?
-
Just a guess...Fender tube preamp/tone stack and a Henriksen solid-state power amp. I'm apt to be wrong.
-
Isn't this an option with the Mambo amps?

And yes, it's tube preamp. I have spoken to the engineer.
-
So this is a hybrid design melding the classic Fender tone with the weight and power advantages of Class D?
