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 had several, and just clicked on the wrong one...
Here's one for the ECHOSONIC AMPLIFIER SCHEMATIC...
