So I e-mailed about the amp. The response came back in broken English. It seems it is a modeling amp to some degree as it has an amp simulator. It does have a preamp built in with 2 12ax7's. The guy was quoting most of the prices under $1000. I just don't know if that's Brazilian money or US money. I tried calling to Brazil to speak with him but as he can't speak English well and the closest I got to Portuguese is Spanish you can imagine the disaster that was. The amps are made in a small factory by hand in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I think they might be worth a shot. If anyone wants a copy of the E-mail just hit me up.
