Now, I will say the Jet City that I had that was modded by Verellen was very nice on the inside. The construction in the chassis was very sturdy/sound/etc but it seems like the one I had was an older version before Jet City switched over to the plastic switches and whatever. Curious if there is any difference on the inside as far as the circuit board goes.
Anyways, I'm curious how much Hovercraft does on the inside of the amps to justify the price. Is it a few caps and resistors being swapped out, or is it replacing the circuit boards entirely and wiring in new ones, just using the hardware and iron as a platform. I could justify the price if it was the latter moreso than the first

Everyone was on-point, buzzing around actually working... Maybe it's just from growing up with/working for/dealing with so many ultra-relaxed Portlanders, but catching a glimpse of this kind of setup was refreshing. And Nial seemed like a zero-bullshit dude (and was perfectly accommodating when I had to bring back the footswitch), I'd be really surprised if they were intentionally misleading people in the way you guys are sort of implying they might be...
In my case, I was looking for a beefier, higher-gain amp that looked slick and the Falcon does that nicely. (I don't know what these amps promise that they don't also deliver.) My main regret now is just that it was before this new black-on-metal sweetness was an option:
