For your Dumble reading pleasure.........

Post by groovtubin »

roduct: Dumble Overdrive Special
Price Paid: N/A
Submitted 11/21/2003 at 12:42am by Kris Singh

Features : 10
There is the input, input volume, treble boots switch, Mid boost switch, choice or rock or jazz switch, treble, mid, bass, overdrive amount, overdrive volume level, presence, master, and there is a footswitch for chioce Clean, Clean+Boost, Overdrive and Overdrive+boost. The footswitch is not necessisary, there are switches in the back. Everything you need to make the greatest tones ever!!!

Sound Quality : 10
I own every amp. I have over 100 amps now. You name it, I have got it. Anything that was ever good, I have. The Dumble is the greatest Blues and Blues Rock Amp ever made. It sounds so in-your-face that it feels like the sound is in your head. It feels that close. I record guitars for many artist all over the country, and this is the greatest amp ever made. It does my favorite thing better then any other amp ever made. Trust me, I know.

Reliability : 10
I have about 10 amps Alexander Dumble has made me. They are the best e=amps ever built. The Army should hire Dumble to redesign "the tank." Tanks aren't this tough.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Alexander is a good friend of mine. I feel it is unfair for me to comment. He is the man!! He always helps me out.

Overall Rating : 10
I have (3) Dumble Overdrive Specials. My newest, I got tonight(11-20-2003) from Alexander. They are worth every cent. They are the stradavarious of amps. They are the 1959 Les Paul of amps. They will only go up in value. The price is not bad. They will only go up. The tone is worth cutting off a limb to buy. The greatest thing in the world. I would rather lose my pinky then these amps. They are important to me like children. I love them more then you could ever imagine. I would not cell them for anything!! I would be too afraid that I would never get those sounds again!! They are quite possibly the greatest musical instrument ever made.

Something's wrong if you need a Dumble to sound good. Great players always sound good. :)

So much in the fingers...

Oh i agree wholeheartedly.........but amp performance IS a serious thing...for those fingers to work as they should..you can do more with your fingers on an amp that`s on FIRE! lol! Built for Diaz in 2004 n 2005, we went to Nashville to see Phil Valesquez n the guitarist for Lonestar... n lettem try out the amps. We went to a show with a CD100 on a small bar stage, amp was set rather CLEAN..NO pedals...When Phil did the stellar sweet home alabama solo, it sounded like (2) tube screamers were ON! That`s fingers.....:) I find alot of similarities in my builds of these amps to my great old marshalls. A 74 SL ( my fav) was ONE FAST amp, i find the dumbles do that without blowing holes in windows but they will if you turnem up! lol!

respectfully, jim@Omegaamps

......but, according to the OP, these amps are so good that he doesn't even need his fingers!!!!

(Unless 'pinky' means something entirely different in his part of the world!)

Cheers,
