Thanks for sharing these pics! I can't help wanting to see more of the tape
loop's integration and more typical amp shots. Such as the control panel,
speaker baffle, Tolex or whatever Ray dressed them in. What speaker did
he use with your amp?

I'm a long time fan of Deke Dickerson, Dave & Deke were made known to me by a local Rockabilly DJ who sadly passed on I believe. Deke has put up
some of the best examples of the genre on YouTube. He obviously has immersed him self in what he loves. I'd bet his instrument collection is a
jaw dropping slice of "Whoa!".

You must have a killer bunch of gear too. Let's see your collection if you don't mind me elbowing in here.

Are you the same guy as TelecasterTech?

Yes. He is. So when he starts out with: "Hello everyone! I am new to this forum" It is a lie. As some of you have deduced he is TelecasterTech, and is also cut and pasting his whole "Unibomber-style manifesto" all over the net for the purpose of personally attacking Tim Masters, (who I personnally know), Dave Kyle, and Katha Butts-House.

If not for unscrupulous reasons...why not use his real account? Why make a new one, and pretend to be someone else? He's allready been banned from several forums for that same reason. I tried to report this activity to a moderator, but there is no real way to get ahold of one on here except by chance, and the one I got ahold of seemed to ignore it.

He has a cool amp and it's cool that he is excited about it, and wants to share...but why all the "non-profit, non-commercial" crap unless for another attempt at a "slam" at those at the center of Echosonic history and future....a future that he has managed to "slash and burn" his way out of?

You guys that don't understand the "cloak and dagger BS"...try emailing Apple and ask for all their build info on the new Iphone....or the first Iphone for that matter....maybe call KFC and ask about those 11 herbs and spices...or see if you can score the Coca-Cola recipe. It's not about keeping secrets for the sake of it....Tim Masters makes these amps, and allthough TelecaterTech/Echosonic27/Frank Roy gives some way off info on pricing and some "secret interview" you have to pass that has never existed....Tim does want to keep his (and it is his...legally and with the blessing of the Butts family) proprietary info to himself.

Can some lab figure out what goes into some "original recipe" fried yard bird? Yeah.

Can they build a chain of "Mississippi Fried Chicken" resturants with their "11 herbs and spices" chicken? Not without a lawsuit.

Tim, Katha, and Dave never came on here to tell anyone that they didn't want all the info on the Echosonics out there....it's already out there, and has been out there for some time or else Tim and Laurence wouldn't have been able to build their clones several years ago. So to say "you are on the wrong forum" if you don't want that info out there is misplaced....They aren't on here!!!

I know nobody knows me...and the conspiracy theorists will think I am one of the people being attacked in this thread, but I am just a guy that doesn't know anything about the inner workings of amps, but has witnessed this "online break-down" and ranting, rambling, emails first hand.

Now....let me take my Blackberry apart and see if I can build one......

These guys need to take their internet drama elsewhere. The photos of the amp insides were kinda cool but upon further inspection the entire thing is built with ancient carbon comps, those crap dogbone resistors and the style of plastic caps that literally crumble after years and years of drying out. The Good-All caps crumble just like the Hunts caps IME and I wouldn't even turn on an amp with those inside.

Can we get a schematic to decipher that semi-rats nest inside the amp?
