That is stunning. How much would something like that cost?

Also why are the celestion's so great?
    lots of activirty in the 15 w range lately , some nice kit but expensive.
      From the sound of the review, it sounds like a really hany, versatile amp. Wouldn't turn it down. Also allows you to take the tube screamer off your pedal board or use it as a second tube screamer for alternating you overdrive levels - like, mild grit vs. full on blues howl.

      Nice to hear Ibanez is producing an innovative tube amp. And it's got nice rounded corners so you can't gouge your eyes out on them.

      One crit is that white may look cool in the shop - but not so cool after a couple of years' gigs.

      Also, I'd wait to hear a second and third opinion before deciding it'd be the perfect 15W (assuming it's not available to play).
        Makes sense that they made something like this. The TubeScreamer is extremely popular.
        Hopefully it's reliable.

          Celestion is an above average make but the biggie for me is that is a 12". It sounds BIGGER.

            It is subjective of course, but many of the great amps have celestions in them. Both celestions (usually in vox/marshall) and Jensens (usually in Fenders) are fantastic speakers.

            If the amp has a scooped sound (cut mids) you will find a speaker with a scooped frequency response will sound dark and unimpressive due to the superposition of the responses. So a speaker with a flatter response, or even a mid boost might sound better.
            That is just one example, there are many factors such as sensitivity, resonance etc etc...
            It all depends on what you want your amp to sound like.

            So see celestion as the tried and tested design. However, they have made some pretty kak speakers too...

              Yeah it does sound versatile.. Its a very interesting product imo, I dont want one... Cause I already have an AC15 and a TS808 so its pointless... but I like this... Its small, looks good, great idea...
              Nice to see some innovation and something new... Or new to me at least ?

              found a video review

                TSA 30 combo now been released as well as a TSA5 watt combo.

                Pricing in the USA is good .... being 600 and 250 repsectively so it should land here at decent pricing too. Not seen either here so not sure of pricing though
