Wouldn’t be the first time that Dumble veered off documented historical precedent

Ofc. But since Dumbleland was also AC Coupled(Which SSS007 is based of) I think he would not go for a completely different design from the one he already had developed. Again I have no idea and I probably would prefer SVT section because I believe it would be even more distortionless

SRV wanted something that would never break up , and HAD built everything for the individual, and there isn’t a single amp identical to the next. We also haven’t seen another 4x bassman circuit in one chassis like the amp he built for Jerry Miller (BTW RIP, he just passed last week) . One offs exist.
