Starting to look more and more like a mesa boogie...
and more and more like an amp made in China.
You can see that there's more solid state parts involved than tube. Op amps and transistors...

No you cannot build that onto a turret board.

seems they are all going that route --- this is advertised as a class A TUBE AMP (but loads of circuit boards here) Fender Bassbreaker 007


TBF its not advertised as a HANDWIRED POINTTO POINT TUBE AMP --- so I guess there is nothing WRONG with the circuit boards......

Even the little vox ac4 has one

"ALL TUBE 4 WATT COMBO"

Thats why they sound so good....

Here are some pics I found...

I was just looking again at all these pics you posted. Looks like in the first pic, the amp has been heavily modified with orange drop caps and those two massive Nichicon filter caps. Don't know what else has been modified in there. I doubt all that made any difference unless values of caps and resistors were altered.

I agree. I saw that. the first photo is definitely not stock....

That's not his amp but the caps could make quite a difference in the sound....frequently Marshall has used under rated caps which we change to over rated caps.
