Ray Butts Echosonic #27

[Echosonic27]

Hello everyone! I have one of Ray Butts's EchoSonic amps, #27. It has never been modified and works well. After a bit of internet research, it may have been possible that Ray had kept a card file with details on each amp he made. Does anyone have any information on the year of this amp, who bought it, date of purchase, etc? I was told that this may have been Ricky Nelson's amp but that is as of yet unconfirmed. This amp has some issues - is there a schematic and/or parts list available for reference? I can be reached at echosonic27 at gmail dot com. I would very much appreciate any info and advice anyone may have to share. Thank you!

Hi Norm, and thanks for your links. I have heard that Deke Dickerson has one of these and may be able to help - have you his email address?

Sadly, Mr. Randy Butts passed away during Summer of 2010, and the phone number on the echosonicamp.com page has been disconnected.

I'm embarrassed... (posting the wrong link)!

I had several, and just clicked on the wrong one...

Here's one for the ECHOSONIC AMPLIFIER SCHEMATIC...
