Is there consensus that the Kitty Hawk on Reverb is in fact an amp built by Dumble? Is this the earliest use of Tandy Wire & Cable coax?

Dumble built these amps for The Beach Boys and then their tech decided to cover the white tolex with the ugly black carpet. I guess he didn’t like the look of them after they had some wear. Dumble was not happy about that and it was the end of Dumble and The Beach Boys. RIP Brian Wilson.

Ryan, I confirmed(don’t ask me how) that the cap across the tremolo roach is .047 and across the 100k is .001. Which would also make the PI cap .047. Your amp sounds great.

Yeah I think that it is more or less that Ripper schematic that was posted earlier in this thread with a high voltage Musicman power supply. Now keep in mind, to Dumble, Larry Carlton and Robben Ford were THE guys, so there may be some tweeky stuff in there.

Hello Guy :D Good to be back with you guys here. Sounds more Marshall/Bluesmaster esque to me (Scooped mids) givin the amps settings. Maybe CW can opine?
