Saw Band of Horses play a small venue a couple weeks ago, one of the guys was using one and it sounded awesome! (who knows what kind of pedals and outboard gear he was using though).

I think the Greta is pretty damn cool.

Yeah.

Pics are here, you can see it knocking around in the background of several of the pictures.

Edit - looks like the keyboard player (who also plays guitar on a handful of songs) has one too.

Bumpin' an old thread, but got to try out one of these today. Pretty cool.

If I were in the market for a combo it would be in the running for sure.
