I talked to Mark Stephenson today and he told me that he will no longer make the V8 version of the Stage Hog (a one-watt vacuum-tube amplifier that will drive a speaker, or more typically, drive a larger amp. Rhymes with Herzog.).
It's no secret here, that I consider the Stage Hog to be the finest distortion device available.
Mark said the last run of ten units went quickly at $1000 each. Hang onto your V8's players!
The new Stage Hog will have fewer options and will be simpler to manufacture. (The V8 was a sixteen-hour build.) The goal is to make an affordable unit.
This is unofficial news from a customer conversation.
Personally, I would be happy with the new one, whatever it is. This guy can do no wrong in my book.
