Alright.. who is gonna reverse engineer one? That's a lot of PCB!

Channeling Magnatone?

does it have two OTs or one OT with dual primaries and secondaries?

I believe two separate OTs. If you click the link you'll see 20+ more pics including the tube/transformer chart

No schematic available yet?

Not to my knowledge... but an official FMIC warranty technician might have access to the schematics.. or at least that's how some schematics of new-er amps have been made available in the past.. This amp is super cool! Lots of neat features. I'd definitely want or build one in the future

I have one and it's incredible. I would definitely like a schematic, though, as I want to convert it to hand wired in the next year or two.

Nice!! I only heard great things about that amp. You might have to champion the reverse engineering for us

Watched a video or two a while back when it was first released, some cool ideas put into the design. I might even have seen the tube chart/layout sticker, but didn't pay much attention at the time.

Looking now, after the two power amp sections are subtracted (power tubes & PI), that leaves 5 preamp/effects tubes (10 triodes). It would be interesting to see how those are divvied up & if anything was tweaked or modified from the circuits we are familiar with.

The typical Fender reverb circuit uses 1-1/2 (3 triodes), 6G-era harmonic trem uses 2-1/2 (5 triodes), which leaves just one tube for gain stages.
