Interesting. Non-overdrive and high powered. Dumbleland precursor? The two big shifts in topology in a Dumbleland add on circuit blocks (filters/recovery and post-PI drivers) and just up the output complement.

Very, very interesting.

I had a conversation with HAD once and he had said that he was doing the modified Princeton way before Randall Smith. In comparison to Smith's early modified Princetons I wonder if it's the chicken or the egg.

Red Rhodes was performing that mod back in the 70s.

This amp is similar to that of a Dumble ''Small Special''.

"Small Special" is a new one to me. Searched here and found some examples. For the sake of clarifying terminology, is "Small Special" an official model or is it just a small version of a "Special"? I'm speculating that a Special is an overdrive-less ODS?

Is there any way to confirm the pot values, or is it just a guess based on a 2nd gen ods?

Thanks!
