Keith Urban's Dumbles?

[fenderbender4]

Does anyone know what type of circuit(s) Keith Urban's dumbles are?

Not sure but I am going to see him on Saturday Night in Camden.

Interesting. Thanks, Mark!

While Urban has restocked his guitar collection quite considerably, he purchased only a handful of amps—a Dumble Overdrive Special and a Trainwreck—to replace those damaged in the flood. He says that his friend John Mayer facilitated that decision.

“When I played the Crossroads Festival with John, who owns 14 or so Dumbles, I asked how he justified spending so much money on an amp,” Urban says. “He asked, ‘How much is your most expensive guitar?’ I told him. He said, ‘Why wouldn’t you spend a similar amount of money on the amp you’re going to plug all of your expensive guitars into?’ When he put it that way, I realized he was right. I decided that instead of replacing all of my amps, I’d get just a few good ones. I talked him into selling me one of his Dumbles, and I started looking for a Trainwreck, which Brad Paisley is always going on about. I found out about one called Nancy and bought it straight away. You can hear it all over the new album.”

It seems hard to believe any celebrity of that status would even care if a amp cost 50k.I imagine there equipment is a tax write off.But then it could also mean he is still a well grounded human being.I know if I made that kind of money I would buy tons of gear.Keith bUrban has always seemed to be a nice person. Im sure buying a real trainwreck or Dumble they would go up in value while you own one.Anyway thanks,Have fun,Mikey

John hit it on the head with this one!!
Guitar amp is every bit and in some cases more important in achieving your personal sound goals!!..Guitars get more attention because of the physical contact and the fact that you wear it so it becomes a kind of status symbol, Over the past few years the Paradigm has kind of shifted more (still has a ways to go) in the direction of the amp and hopefully continue in that direction!!
