Tell me about the Recording Amp from 2010

[Going Modal]

Can anybody tell me about the limited run (25 of them made?) "Recording Amp" released in 2010? Seems like it's along the same vein as the HX/DA but I can't tell for sure. Lots of switches on this guy--likely meaning that it's very versatile(?). Flame-front panels, custom-made knobs... makes me think these were regarded as pretty special. Any thoughts/comments?

Here's a quick demo of Paul himself talking through the controls

I see “The Precious” on the wall behind the amp.

I've always wanted one. HXDA, but with a different emphasis, and more control.

Good eye, sir! It's too bad Paul didn't reach up & grab it for a demo...

They do seem real close--the Recording Amp seems to have been out of "CAD" (custom amp design) and seems to have begotten the HX/DA, albeit with 1/2 the switches in each of the 3 locations (input, pre-tone-stack, power amp) as the RA. Also, the RA has Reverb, but no Presence knob. Compelling. But dang it, now I simply want an HX/DA 50W!

What's not to like? Keep your eyes peeled - hopefully you can find a nice one!
