I saw these gut shots and was wondering if anyone else had.

Re: Tophat ods 100
IMO... Perhaps a Dumble inspired circuit but certainly wouldn't call that amp an ODS Clone..Stretch it however you wish!!

Top Hat amps are cool. Some of Brian's early stuff looks a bit untidy, but the newer models are very neat. It wouldn't surprise me if he built this as a request from a customer. I've only heard two Top Hats, an Ambassador and an early Emplexador...both sounded great to me.

Not the only one. I had one pass through about 10 years ago. Fantastic turret board construction, low-plate non-HRM 100 watts. Sounded wonderful. Raw and organic OD and a balanced clean.

Re: Tophat ods 100
Soo, what is the verdict, is this a 70's non hrm pre-skyline inspired amp, or something different?
