why?

[Greeny]

$1,900! I'd want a built in coffee machine for that kind of money!

Interesting concept though... having your amp, computer, and DAW all in one (pretty) box.

I think it's a bad idea. Computers become obsolete every five years or so. Who wants to throw away their guitar amp every five years and buy a new one? Resale value will be very low once the computer becomes obsolete.

A good, conventional guitar amp will last a lifetime and its value will often increase over time. My HIWATT which I bought 40 years ago is still a great amp and is now worth 2 or 3 times what I paid for it. What will the OPC be worth in 40 years when its computer is useless? I'd rather keep my amp and computer separate.

Ridiculous isn't it. Here we have Orange the iconic amp makers building a computer amp. Please Orange, stick to what you know best please. Like you say 64 it will be worthless very soon.

They're kidding, right?

I agree 64, it's like buying a all in one stereo system. if one part goes out, it all goes in. not worth it!

[Gnasty]

Uuuugh!! Nothing beats a tube amp! NOTHING!
