j dallar	Ampeg Super Echo Twin Hi-   Can anyone give me any much needed info on an   Ampeg Super Echo Twin? I have come across one   for sale for less than $400 and feel like I   should jump on it- any recommendations?   There's exceptionally little information on   this amp on the web- not that i could find   anyway.   Thanks very much.   J.

John Martin	If its the blue checked covered model it is very cool. I don't think they made too many. I have serviced hundreds of 60's Ampegs and have seen only one of the Echo Twins. Plan on doing some service. It will probably need at least power tubes and filter caps even if the owner says it "works". Well worth the cost in my opinion!         jm

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self. Note: The Ampage Archive is an Amazon Associate site. A small commission is paid to the site owner on any qualified purchase made after clicking an associate link such as the one above.
