Personally I'd get a Dumble style pedal and leave the amp alone. Look into the Zen and Fuchs Plush pedal. Last I heard both are readily available with no wait list.

yep, bobs on it.

Short of a total rebuild, likely new PT, OT, tubes, and everything else...Wait, you need a new amp...It would be cheaper and easier that way.

Get a pedal, or find a new amp.
it really is a journey, and you just cant farm out the battle wounds

The Dumble sound isn't quite that simple. It's really an entire system from input to output. Adding a preamp isn't all that different than using a good pedal.
