Musiciansfriend is saying Alchemist should start being available on the 23rd, FYI... ;)
Yeah I have seen that myself, however they bumped up the price $300 from what they said it would be priced at when the idea surfaced, so I am sticking with my HRD and stomps. I get great tone as is, it ain't broke so I ain't fixing it.
I may get the Blackheart Handsome Devil a little 15 watt Valve Jr Style head for jams, but I think it is not necessary as my HRD does everything I need at this time.
My guess is that is an increase in Chinese Labor and shipping that is causing the price increase.

Whatever the reason it was a deal killer for me. Now if I was gigging, that would be another story, but these days music is just a part time hobby for me, so I don't need anything more than my Valve Jr head truthfully, but the HRD is much richer sounding even at low volumes. No need to feed their greed.
