Have to dash off to work, but here's a quick sampler of the 100 watt Bluesmaster (over a backing track).
Clean, OD, OD w/mid-boost, OD w/PAB, OD cranked to 11:00. Some of the changes are pretty subtle because of settings. Also switched from neck to bridge, etc.
AS83->amp->(reverb and delay through Dumblelator)->ported cab w/Delta Blues->SM57.

Re: 100 watt BM sampler
Normster! Great sounding clip and playing. Your chops, to my ear, seem to have taken a major leap lately. Very nice indeed.
Re: 100 watt BM sampler
Nice Norm!
You have a very smooth style that bridges genres.
I wish I had access to the amps and cabs you do, that would be pure heaven!

Re: 100 watt BM sampler
Thanks for the listen, guys!
Sorry to post and run this morning. To answer a few PMs and posts...
Volume was moderate. A little louder than bedroom level but nowhere near gig level. Settings were:
Volume - 1:30
Treble - 2:00
Mid - 12:00
Bass - 12:00
Drive - 9:00 (cranked to 11:00 at about 2:15 into the song)
OD Master - 9:00
Clean Master - 10:00
Dumblelator settings were 12:00 for send and return, bright switches off. Arion delay and digiverb in the loop. (Horrible pedals, BTW.)
Cab is from Loren (adlibmusic) based on a Dumble ported design but with slightly altered dimensions. Speaker is a Delta Pro, which works well with bluesmaster circuits but gets a little boxy with HRM.
Forgot to mention, there was a Sennheiser e609 draped over the front of the amp in addition to an SM57 about 8" back. Unfortunately, the mics are out of phase so I have to pan them left and right 50% to keep them from cancelling. (Scott noticed it and called me to see if I had a phasing problem. Sheesh, talk about dogears!
)
As for the schematic, it's VERY close to the schematic posted by mdroberts. Minor tweaks and substitutions include a 35kB mid pot and 500kA bass pot. (Pots are PEC.) I wouldn't recommend the 500kA for most builds, it just worked out OK using the Mercury 100watt Twin OPT. Nothing against Mercury, but I think their iron is a little too hi-fi for Dumble use.
I think that's about it. Thanks again for listening and commenting. I really just wanted to demonstrate how broad the tonal pallette is for Dumble style amps. It still blows me away when I hear someone say that these amps are one-trick ponys!
