BIG $ JOYO!

From what I heard so far, sounds like a transistor radio...

I think its a neat concept with the power tube adaptability but i checked out other videos to hear it more and compared to other amps.....and it doesn't sound that great lol its not terrible but for a $1000+ head, you can do a whole lot better for a whole lot less. Some of the little lunchbox Joyo amps arent bad but they also don't cost this much either. Maybe some updates to it might remedy this, dunno

So this thing can swap out to literally ANY power tube??

Pretty much any amp can be changed to any power tube.
This thing has blue tooth activated switches inside. (controlled by a smart phone etc.) apparently the bias can be remotely switched for different tubes, which is nothing ground breaking either.
As you probably know
until the power tube is pushed into overdrive, many tubes sound the same at low loudness. Which means that swapping power tubes is not a huge advantage until the amp is pushed to the max output.

Sound wise: I hear a rather anemic fizzy type of distortion...
I have to ask:
"Where's the Beef ?"

Very true! I guess its easier for someone to roll thru tubes at will without some adjustments being made, but like you said, if you're dealing with bluetooth components being in control of your power tubes, that just sounds like a recipe for disaster down the road. Id be afraid of it misreading its own program and calling for a smaller tube wattage than a larger tube ( i.e you install KT88s and it calls for 6v6). Seems like that would do some internal damage if that occured by sending more amperage thru if theres not a failsafe in there

An amp that can re-configure the analog signal paths:
You are describing a Fender Cyber Twin, or a Fender Cyber Deluxe. Except the Fender system stores the settings.
