Its a great circuit, nice cleans and monster gain. Recommend checking out the stray cat layout from ceriatone for info also

Re: 3rd Power Sink amp
The Dragon amp is literally control names away from being my Enola amplifier. The only thing I don't use is a power scaling scheme, a selectable presence cap selector, or calling a mixer pair of resistors a "module".

Any sort of sound clip would also be nice if possible.

Re: Bastardized 1962 Blonde Bandmaster
Interested in hearing how this sounds.
Agree with Sluckey and Reeltarded
Whoever did that work was not a hack
V3/4 both look like OD... funky OD entrance on V3

Re: Guitar Gallery Thread! Post 'em up!
First build try, swamp ash body stained turquoise with copper in the grain(hard to see in pics).
Stays in tune well, plays good, comfortable with body contours.
Body is resonate and SD Le Brea pickups sound good.
Matching PR build.
