We designed the board ourselves. and is Pretty quiet. I am working on clips of the amp and will post them when I get a chance. Also I want to thank everyone here for there help while I came up with my version of a Dumble OD special amp :lol: You guys should try 6550's in these amps WOW!!!!
I`ve seen a board similar in a VVT amp that went to tonequest in a ealier post here...., do you work for them, seeing the VVT CAB and all?? The relays are set-up just like that VVT Earthquake...

I started the company with my partner back in 2004.
I think the Tonequest amp was pre PCB amp 100 watter with Mercury Mags transformers we were still playing around with the design at that point. If I remember right that amp did have a little MOJO goin on. But was basicially a HRM with something real close to the Bluesmaster tone stack I never cared for the Skyliner stack our tone stacks were wired more like a Fender but did use the same PAB. The Rick Derringer model uses this board but is a 4 6V6 amp and uses the skyliner stack without the switching (like the Dlite) just preamp boost and OD. Oh and the OD entrance is slightly differant than Scotts since it uses 6V's. But the same topology.
