You are an evil evil man!!!
If you buy it, I'll gladly accept it as an x-mas gift.

Thank you in advance!!:)
 
Have been fascinated by who ripped off who's circuits lately. Been looking at the mesa/dumble early stuff then mesa rippin soldano & everybody ripping off the Fender bassman...just glad they all did what they did.
 
If I didn't build what I play built a copy of Dumble #183 was given photos and voltage charts my friend Jon at Two Rock
got me a power transformer and used a 1968 output transformer from a 1968 Marshall Super Lead changed the filter supply
1966 Marshall JTM45/100 spec it's was to loud for club use so next I built a 50 watt version with transformers out of a 1968 Marshall
Super Lead 50 and changed the values of the V1 preamp less aggressive but sustains like no other set all my controls at 12 o'clock
volume 5 master volume 3
I would buy this amp way cheaper than it cost me to build in just parts

67 is the Dumble based on any particular circuit when he made the first ones?

Dumble amps are not a copy of any other amp

I have a very good tech friend. What could be done to my UL 78 pro Reverb? Its got such clean power & the MV actually works pretty good. Not trying for super gain or grind. Any mods that could make the amp do things. I do not use the trem at all & very little reverb.

Wondering if we could totally mod one of the channels. My Super 6 had a radical non reverb channel modded heavily, almost like modded bassman gain.

Good tone and playing however the Dumbles are like Unicorns priced like Klons. You are lucky to have one but average Joe's just look the other way. Lol
It's a good sound but to me not worth much more than a Marshall.
