GaN guitar amps?


With the success of GaN amps from the likes of @atmasphere and others, I was wondering if that technology could possibly infiltrate and possibly supplant guitar players’ beloved tube amps?  Seems like a no brainer given reliability and weight savings in a pro-audio environment.  Am I missing something here?

@designsfx You bring up a good point. Not sure if a GaN amp could be programmed to mimic the desirable distortion of an overdriven tube amp. But, might not be impossible either. Most guitar players I’ve played with are incessantly fiddling with their pedals to get the sound they’re looking for on a particular song, so GaN amps would need to have similar flexibility to even have a possibility of succeeding in that market. We’ll see I guess.
