Effect of the D'Ulator on the tone of the D amp?

Post by Mark »

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I were to play my Dumble clone and then plug a D'ulator into the effects loop without any effects in the external loop (of the Dulator) what changes to tone would I expect to hear?

Thanks for your assistance.
Yours Sincerely

It will darken the tone slightly (unless you use the bright switches) and smooth the highs (less harshness) and add some compression. If you've ever played a Mesa Boogie you can duplicate the compression induced sustain caused by an additional gain stage. A worthwhile addition to any D style amp.
