Does anyone have the schematics for this amp, or gut shots? Or any info about the ciricuit at all?

Re: 65 Amps Marquee
It kind of reminds me of the DC30, with a different name for the "tone" control.
I'd love to see the schematics for this one. People I know that have tried it, says it's better than the DC30..

I don't have schems for it, but if you search 18Watt.com for posts by dboul, you'll find descriptions of the circuit as he was designing and tweaking its little brother, the London.
IIRC it is made up like this:
1. 18 Watt power section and PI with no changes. I'm guessing he just added 2 more EL84s in parallel like the 36W they developed over there
2. EF86 channel is taken almost straight from the DC30 with a few minor tweaks and an added tone control
3. Unknown TMB channel. I think I remember it being plate driven but have no idea what the values are
4. Standard issue cut control with a 250K-L and .0047uF
5. MM "custom" iron

Re: 65 Amps Marquee
Peter Stroud played through one for me a few years back. I don't know which model, I just remember that it was a combo amp. He played through it with a very nice tele. GAWD that amp sounded SWEET! So rich, and sweet, and so deep it sounded 3D. Then he told me the cost. 
Just over $3k IIRC. He told me that he started the company after trying to build amps off of 18watt.com. His partner, at the time, was located I think in Brooklyn.
Anyway, I know it's in no way an answer to your question, but I digress...
