I found the videos on this amp interesting. A 77 year old amp that was modified to add a more powerful channel at about the same time it was made and has the name W L Dickerson on it.

That is cool, particularly Pt. 2. He finally gets to plugging in and playing. He is a pretty knowledgeable guy.
I used to own a really nice EH-150 amp and guitar.

Mike if you look at his youtube channel he repairs and build's his own version's of the 50's 60's amps. He has one where he play's the same thing on same guitar through 12 different amps to compare there sound.
Erv in the feedback on youtube someone suggested Dickerson as in Dickerson guitars that became Magnatone. But other than the knob(which could have been changed) the wire etc looks like it was all done at the same time.
Maybe W L Dickerson worked for Gibson and built this for his own use. |
