With all the recent discussion on Dumble and Dumble-inspired mods, I recorded some videos of my Twin with the "Cool Mod" on the Normal Channel. More to come later.

Humbucker Demo, SG with a 57 Classic Plus bridge bucker. On the Rock setting, channel volume at 9, PPIMV on about 4. Fender Reverb Unit going into the front end.

Sounds very cool. Responds well to varying attack, but sounds really f##king loud.

Thanks Bob, ya it's fairly loud in the house, but I'm actually turned down below my typical stage volume (between 11:30 and 1 o'clock on the master depending on the club). Luckily I've got a very tolerant girlfriend who let me play it loud enough to get some decent tone on the videos.

One of the things I love about d style amps is the ability to play at low volumes. I play so quiet at gigs I often have sound men telling me to turn UP because the drums bleed into my guitar mike.

I hear you though, there's nothing like a cranked 100 watter.

Actually, it's more out of necessity on stage. Wherever I've got it set before we start, I'm almost always too quiet in the mix when we get into the swing of things. We generally don't mike the amps or drums, so we're always trying to project to the back of the room with the amps. Needless to say, we're pretty loud on stage.

The amp sounds pretty good below 3 on the master, but is definitely better with a little more behind it.
