Dynamic Dumbley Duo

All dressed up for Christmas!

I have posted both of the chassis before IIRC, but I finally got off my butt and put the Dumbleator in its matching headbox today. It's of course the one on the bottom; if HAD can call his a Dumbleator, I can call mine a Root Loop (!).

The matching amp on top is a 1st generation 50W with a '64 Bassman OT.

Both cabs courtesy of Taylor Cox/Amplified Nation. Slate blue suede with genuine original brown Vox grille cloth. (The diamonds are bigger than the reissue cloth). Faceplates by Joe Vallina/Amplates.com.

Not a pro grade pic but I think you get the flavor.

Looks real nice David.

Now you need to get some blue suede shoes!

Thanx guys. It was a one-time thing, I got the idea and just had to follow through, but it's the most expensive 50W amp I'll ever build.

As to clips, I'll get some done maybe next week if I can. I have to get my pal Chris to help me out. The active loop makes a big difference allright!

Very nice David! Love the matching cabs.

Here's a soundclip. ES-336, first half clean, neck pickup; second half OD, both pickups, followed by bridge only. A little reverb and compression added from a UA mic pre/compressor. Amp gain and MV (Clean) both at 2:00PM, OD pots at about 11:30 AM , D-lator all at about 9:30 to 10:00AM.

Some more to come tomorrow. The loop indeed makes a significant improvement.

Sounds excellent. What did you use to record? Speakers?

David Root · Post by **David Root** » Tue Jan 07, 2014 3:47 am

It was done by my pal Chris Rolin. He is almost as good at recording as he is at playing!

SM57, two open backed 1x12s in parallel, one with an 8 ohm Classic 80, the other with an old 15 ohm G12-65 in an Avatar oval hole cab.

G12-65 was miked, but they were side by side in a corner so you get both.

The amp's OT is 4 ohms sec ('64 Bassman) so it's running into 5.3 ohms, not much difference.

Beautiful! I'd be thrilled with an amp getting tone like that. Nice playing.

With respect, 10thtx
