Unusual Mesh PTP Amp Layout ID?

I've been trying for ages to locate pics and info on this point to point layout. Basically a friend described seeing it somewhere, his description was that all components were set in a wire mesh that stretched across the chassis of the amp, and soldered point to point, and he can't recall where he saw the image. So I don't have much more to go on, but it sounded really interesting, does anyone recognise this vague description? It wasn't a guitar amp. It sounds a bit like an unusual gainclone layout.
