Does Dumble sound so much better?

[groovtubin]

Hey Jim,

I love those clips.... Hard to hear the amp in them over the heinous clipping and lack of fidelity. I'd love to hear Dr Bill's Dumble with a close miced SM57, losing the horrid clipping distortion of the clip. Nothing like having a small camera mic's low bandwidth to remove all the high end. Not that the amp is harsh, but how would we know? There are no highs......

Let's get some well recorded, close miced samples in here to compare with..... Otherwise, it is apples to oranges.

Also, the sound of the room.... That camera mic is pretty far back.

But boy oh boy! I love those clips From what i hear, that amp gets rented at times for recording, and was out at Mr Had`s place for a tube update back to 6L6`s. He "had" ( pardon pun!) to get a FRIEND who KNOWS Dumble to get it done!!!!!!!!!! Again, mere mortals....Thats the sound I`m after, I`m a huge Eric J fan, I`ve cut my teeth on Super leads and tubescreamers, that amp really does it. Even better! LOL! You`d have to ask Jason@Steelbender of course to get more clips. The fundamental is pretty easy to pick out, the horridness doesn`t even faze me! LOL! the 335 short clip is one of my fav`s. as is Strat#7. To me, to get a strat into 4 stages, to sound like it`s playing thru a triple rectifier is AMAZING! LOL!

PS: At least the encoding rate was really high! LOL

The guy who bought my Diaz pedal owns BOTH a later HRM amp, and a bassman modded Dumble, his name is Dr Billy, listen to that amp@ Steelbender.com, so far, no amp on this site w/clip gets close to that sound, or they aren`t trying it one!

but isn't that a real ODS... I thought we were discussing a modded fender here?

where might one find Dogears' clips? i've searched the forum, but not found any. Would it be on his website?

Thanks,

Here are a couple. Keep in mind these are close miced with an SM57 and recorded on a home PC. No room tone at all.... The first two clips are the Eminence Red White and Blue speaker. More middy and less bright than the 3rd clip which is the Tonespotter. I will be making more clips this week. I made some changes to the SOD50 that I believe improved the tone a bit....

Dog, do you recommend the sm57? I wouldn't mind being able to record some clips, mainly to help with figuring out problems, rather than trying to explain them:)

Well it is ubiquitous!

However, I hate it..... I have an Audix I5 and the difference in highs is amazing! Favoring the Audix. Both mics have that thin small diaphragm bass response.... Maybe the new EV Raven is the ticket! I am waiting on a demo unit.... It has a large diaphragm.
