Yeah I repaired one of those, it's just a stock BandMaster with a couple of attenuation pots in the jack 2 holes. Also has one cap change and an internal fuzz box on a board mounted on the side.










All my designs are original (mostly because I claimed to have repaired them and know the difference between a Twin and an ODS is one cap and have decrypted that a FET used as an input preamp must be a fuzz box circuit so with that in mind,no matter what I build it looks original to me). :o :o :o

LOL, Henry, :lol: Damn you sneaky little, you figured it all out..... What shall us non original idea making amp builders do now? :lol:

On the real though Henry, if there's anyone that should be considered an Modern innovative amp builder it should be you. You seem to be able to pack a chassis to the brim with features and still get an amp that's quiet, super fat sounding, and very, very expressive to the individual.

Hi,

I tried the link and received the following message with a graphic

"This video is unavailable
This video is private.
:? Sorry about that."

Well at least it didn't give the stupid youtube.com "the video is not allowed to be shown in your country" quip.

Best Regards

Steve

Can't quite tell from the video is the guitar is plugges straight into the amp? Although Andy is just loosely noodling here, it sounds like that amp's tone is about as amazing I have seen posted on the Internet. Smoking!

I'm with you Mark.
Very diverse players all getting great sounds out of this thing.
Kind of ultimate Fender amp tone, 6G6 Bassmans or Supers
on steroids.
Color me--curious.

Nice clips Mac Daddy, thanks. Love the ones with Red Volkaert, looks like he really enjoyed the amp.
The Rock Phonix and the Ultra Phonix amps were always my favorite ones from Dumble.
