Hi Juergen,

actually the book sais: "at least" one and not only one....

enjoyed the information, thanks.

AFAIK Alexander Dumble built a total of around between 50 and 60 specimens of the 2nd and 3rd generation ODS amps with the "funky OD entrance", the "pre-classic" tone stack and without a ratio control etc. and with series numbers between around #001X and #007X. AFAIK most of these are 50W. Hi Max, ...

Hi Everyone,

a friend just sent me these pics.

Dumble 044, with the typical - Applied Acoustics - cabinet.

I've been told it sold for 22.000,-EURO's... aroound $29.000,-

Enjoy

Hi all, looking at several older posts, where prices came up, I thought I'd ask you all: So what's it worth? or what do you think it's worth? Perhaps we could seperate the various types over the years, amp head, combo, suede etc.. Or are some silverface models more worth as they are much fewer? Or a...

Hi guys,

thanks for all your answers.

I'm not looking for the silver knobs...
But the CHICKEN HEAD KNOBS, like on the
1st generation amps. And they are different to the
ones on the late models or from the 4th generation on...
They're pretty similar to VOX knobs..

Anybody know where I can buy them?

Hi all,

does anybody know where I can buy 1st and 2nd generation Dumble
chickenhead knobs?

Hello Max, the amp that was delivered in Oct. 1981 has slide switches. Later it had a presence knob installed on the back panel, and the (old) accent slide switch was changed to a type of boost... First I thought you wanted schematics, as you sent me these Links: - is it a 2nd generation ODS like th...

Hi Marcos, AFAIK Jack Smith and Alexander Dumble have been personal friends for a long time since their youth, but never "partners" in a business sense. They both had their own and different businesses. But because their shops have been in the same building in Santa Cruz for a while they of course ...

Hi John, thanks for the info. As you know one of these musicians, could you perhaps ask him some questions about his amp and report his answers: - does he remember when in '79 he ordered this amp and when in 80/81 he got it then? - is it a 2nd generation ODS like this one here http://ampgarage.com/...

Hi ampcrack, to avoid or clarify a possible misunderstanding: I assumed until now that you talked about amps that have been individually ordered by musicians in the US, have been individually built for these musicians by Alexander Dumble and then have been individually picked up by these musicians ...

Hi Max, yes I understand you and thanks for your long and interesting point of view. By the way I was talking about 4 (four different amps, not 3.) Basically I just thought I'd mention this, nothing else behind it. I spoke to one of the guys yesterday. His is in the 050's.. He told me that his amp w...

Thanks for the reply..
Do you by chance know what generation these 02X or 05X amps are and could share it with us?

Hi Tony,

sorry, but I don't have any schematics of them.

Best,

John
