Re: Vintage Guitar Magazine Dumble article

I find it funny how EVERY article on Dumble seems to re-state the following misconceptions: 1. Meticulous wire dress 2. Custom transformers 3. Epoxy protection Sonically Dumble's lead dress and his knowledge of wire and component interaction was impressive. I suppose one could argue that an amp migh...

Re: This has always confused me.........

Hi,

Sorry for the lack of attention, holidays!

Tyhe issue I'm having involves my understanding of the OD relay DPDT wiring. Is there a JUMPER or some other connection?

Which is right??::

This has always confused me.........

Hi gang! It's been a long time since I started a thread. I've been busy with other projects and getting two of my three kids out of the house, good and bad, but it gives me a bit more time. So I'm dusting off two builds that I stalled out on quite a while ago.............................the DPDT wir...

Re: Garage Band Ripper

As I am pondering a return to amp making, more like a return to the projects I've stalled about on and it's interesting to see how HAD made this amp. It brings up more questions than anything: 1. Why bother using an Orange Chassis, when you replace pretty much everything? Are Oranges steel vs. alumi...

Re: The Legend has passed

About 15 years ago I was a novice builder, I had made a AX84 thing. I had always been fascinated by the Dumble lore since SRV had come onto the world's view. I'm a Chiropractor by trade and I was working with a celebrity patient who once he heard that I was interested in the amps, loaned me one of h...

Forgive me for my limited amp designing skills and subsequent stupid questions but since I got a Bassman 70 OT and PT I may sa well try a Dumbleland adventure. But.......................

Re: SSS002 build log

Nice work of the caps.

A word of advise, triple check for shorts BEFORE mounting the switch and AFTER mounting. On my second SSS build I had tiniest short in there, took hours to find it.

Ceritone has a mixed reputation on the page. Some guys don't like him some of us don't really care. He uses cheap...
