Just wondered if anyway possible to put a line out, output jack on my drri And at what stage of the amp? I know this is a copy of a 65 deluxe reverb of 1965, & they didn't have line outs then.....

Yes, almost anything is possible. Typically, a line out would go between the last preamp stage and the PI. Of course you will need to drill a hole in the chassis for the jack, and hack up the circuit board a little. Having it done would probably be very costly.

Hi TC: not sure what you will be using the 'line out' for, but I've used one of these successfully and they will be a heap cheaper than a permanent mod to your DRRI.

It takes a feed from your speaker line so all that juicy power-amp stage gets captured too!

If the amp is an older edition (pre 1996) the rear panel will have a "ground" switch, as per the original blackface amps. This switch is a dummy -- it's not wired to anything. You can remove this switch and use the existing hole in the chassis to install a line-out jack. It's large enough to accommodate a ¼-inch phone jack or an RCA phono jack.

Weber makes a line attenuators that have a line out connection. The attenuator goes between the amp output and speaker input. A headphone tap (an option) can be added. Here's an example:
