			That looks like a clone to me too!  It looks like a Ceriatone chassis with those 8 mounts and faceplates.

			Ok, thanks guys, I'm glad it's not just me ! 
 
This amp is being discussed as the real deal. I hope the owner wasn't sold this as genuine. 
 
Cheers, 
Rob.

			Well maybe Ceriatone and Dumble have merged and now called Dumbletone. 
 
Or maybe this is a new Dumble built in 2013.

			It does look like a Ceriatone chassis.  But the build is different than Ceriatone.

			Ceriatone materials. 
I have seen much better clones that actually have duped buyers.  
   
But this one should be pretty obvious.

			I would say that "clone" is a little too strong a word for an average Dumble style build in probably a Ceriatone chassis. I find it interesting that the trademark link that Jelle posted has an address and phone # for the reclusive Mr. Dumble.

Exactly, whether you are building an amp or wiring IED's, everyone has a signature. Immediately if you have studied the build details of his work, you will see in this amp several things that he normally never does.
