Hi there
first: excuse my poor english, I am a German.

One of my amps is a 100% Dumble clone, built in the early 80ties by Wolfram Roy (former KITTY HAWK German amps, founder).
It is a high- quality, custom-built point-to-point amp, strictly based on the circuit of a 70ties "Silverface" Dumble ODS. It sounded just a m a z i n g , when I bought it in 2005. - Since some tech had changed the pots and switches and obviously did some other work which I can´t judge, ´´cause I am just a musician. Compared to its previous tone, today it sounds "weak", "poor" and seems to have lost its characteristic tone and "punch" - the typical characteristics we all know that describe an excellent amp. It seems to me that it´s all still in there, but refuses to come out of the thing.

My Intention is, to let repair this amp -in case if I´ll be able to find an excellent technican- and then to retire it and never use it on stage again.

First Question: Do you know a technican, who would be able to help me? Is there any person you can recommend in Europe or must I ship it to US (I know Alexander D. could help me, but I`m afraid he wouldn`t .

Second Question: Is there any TWO ROCK Dealer in Germany? Seems like this could be an option for me.

Third question: From your point of view :What makes the difference between a 100W FUCHS Overdrive Supreme and a 100W TWO ROCK Custom - in both technical and musical respects.

thanks for reply

Hi Telefreak1,

I have the exact same amp. It belonged to Gregor Hilden before it came to me. There is an amp tech in Germany, Bernd Gillrath, who has worked -on my amp and it sounds great. I will give you his email, bernd@gillrathb.de . He does excellent work and lives in Willich.
Bis Spater,

Troy
