Chip koch amps...
Anyone own one of these? I checked one out briefly at a music store yesterday - sounded very good.  
 
I'd be curious to see a schematic.....

not overpriced when compared to,say,Boogies-not even to mention boutique hype.

Hi Chip  
 
They're made and designed about 10 miles away from here .  
Dolf Koch has been working on amps for years and he does stand behind his products . Afaik he doesn't give away schematics ( and that's understandable ) .  
Don't forget about the shipping-costs from the Netherlands to the USA regarding the price .  
 
I personally did like the 1st version of the TwinTone but they did make some changes to the circuit and did use a Jensen i.o. a Celestion speaker in the later versions .  
 
Let your ears decide !

Thanks for the response.....  
 
$1325 for the TwinTone combo - doesn't seem that out of line to me. Quality looked very good.  
 
Did sound quite good, too. I'll be going back to check it our further.

I just purchased a Twintone combo (1x12). It wasn't cheap but I also own a Fuchs ODS head and a Two Rock Topaz.  
As much as I love these 2 amps, the Koch was less money, is quicker to dial in tones , sounds just as good and being a small combo, goes anywhere easily.  
For my $$ it was worth the price.
