			I was wondering if anybody's seen these large Airbrakes before. The seller's
looking for $1K and there were no gut shots so it's anyone's guess what's
inside.

			I had one exactly like that unit. I documented the circuit before I sold it. I think the pics of the inside are still on my old computer...I'll have a look and post them if I still have them

			Why would anyone pay that much?  You can build one for about $50 in parts.  I'm sure the schematic is around here someplace.

			I guess that's it!!  After building several TW amps, I don't think there was any "magic" to Ken's products. Just (?) a very skilled designer using good quality parts and a great ear for guitar sounds!

It's only magic to the uninitiated.
