Re: Robben Ford's new amp and speaker

It sounds like a tweed Bandmaster in a head + cabinet configuration.

Re: Bit of current Eric Clapton/Dumble inside info

Martin beat me to it. Clapton loves the 5E7. Imagine that circuit with Tweedle Dee tweaks...

Re: B15 build

I'm no expert on Jamerson, but I believe he was known to favor the earlier circuit with the tonestack after first stage. The later preamp is brighter with more growl. I think the reissues have both preamps in them.

Re: #189 50W Bluesmaster(Ripper?) Photos

Both Larry's amp and #189 appear to have two stage OD unless something is different under the goop.

Re: #189 50W Bluesmaster(Ripper?) Photos

On further observation, both bass and mid pots appear connected to the trimpot. Curious...

Re: Rock/Jazz switch 2nd gen layout

IIRC the .0022 cap is shorted out in rock mode but the .022 cap remains and is a significant part of these early tonestacks.

Re: Interesting ODS & Sundown Comparison...HRM sounds?

minor note- according to the factory(?) schematic there appears to be a missing 1 Meg resistor between the coupling cap and gain pot in ic-racer's schem.

Re: 102 as Lowplate Classic

If I may add to this discussion, we know that #94, #123 and Ben Harper's Classic all have LNFB.

Nice clips BTW.

Re: "Fiddy" 50-watt build log

Just a thought: Is the Treble pot Linear or Audio taper?

Re: 100W ODSR ON THE BAY

The question arises: what is a rare dead Dumble amp worth? That seems like one expensive paper weight...
