Could be. But I thought he also had dynaco 470 trannies too. Dinah's OT is not a Matchless type at all...

Bruno UG 30

Post by 2tone »

The original UG 30 bruno had a vox style input channel, no tone controls(except the presence control for both channels). The second channel had reverb, and was more of a fender type schematic. I used to tell ken I thought the first channel was the "poor man's Rocket" as it sounded closer to a Rocket than the second channel. I favored the first channel myself. The UG 45 ( also called Bulldog 45) was an Express circuit, correct voltages etc, but different trannies and had an Express type sound, but not a close clone. Had a bigger, broader bottom than an Express but less upper harmonic stuff. Ken did tell people about those amps..

Reality Check was a nickname for his Rocket........he used it as reference a standard for tone. I remember hearing a couple of great sounding amp...then he would play his Rocket.....Reality Check! The Rocket was a tone machine.

No songwriter 30. No trem-rocket. I just can't see paying that amount for a circuit that I could get here on the forums by very talented builders for less than half of the $$$ that the new TWs are going for.
