Kimock Dumble Spotting

Post by ER »

Saw Steve Kimock last night and he was playing a tan ODS dumble (no two rocks). Man that guy can play and that Lo Bue explorer is really something special.

I haven't seen him since his Zero days when he was working for boogie and playing a custom boogie set-up, well his set-up last night sounded amazing . He kept fiddling with what at first look I thought was an old echoplex sitting on top of his amps, but finally figured out was a (best guess) stereo "krinardulator".

So it was as far as I could tell, guitar into the tan dumble, pre-out into the stereo buffer loop device which had an old lexicon reverb I believe, with stereo loop outs going to the 100W(?) dumble power section powering a single 15" cab (JBL D-130?) and a two rock modified bandmaster with vibroverb OPT (~35W) feeding a 2x12 dumble-style cab (blues?, austin speaker works?)

He didn't have his dearmond amp slaved out for slide, instead using the same ODS pre for everything, sounded really nice and has me thinking twice about that 70's style build for slide once I heard it.

Has anyone done a built a dumbleatorII (stereo out)? I went to bed last night dreaming about an ODS combo with reverb and dumbleatorII with a matching oddysey combo.

He's headed up the west coast and definitley worth checking out. I was also blown away at what a great drummer his son was.

dont see why you need the stereo dlator - send from ODS goes to dlator - into mono in of verb - L verb out to dlator return - to ODS return. R verb out to the other (cleanish) amp's front end. Isnt this how Kimock does it?
