Dumble Overdrive Special #124 build video series

Post by pompeiisneaks »

I think you may have heard me mention I got a Bassman 100 to convert to a #124, here's the first video on the bassman itself:



Coming soon is the actual gut/rebuild series :D

The OT on these are fantastic! I've built 3 amp with them and they are great. "Girth" to the max.

I really appreciate you making these videos, raising the bar!

Good luck with the build.

I also recently acquired the same Bassman 100 as a donor. So, pulling up a chair. Great to see the effort to document. 👍

are you going with Classic or Syliner?

Enjoy your build. I never really got on with my #124. I tried classic, skyliner back and forth in the end I built it to #102 specs and was happy :D

Thanks all. I'm going for classic first, and then may move to skyliner as you've mentioned if I'm not into it. I am going for the classic SRV tone. Jelle indicated the #124 was where it's at.

Here's the next video, a bit obvious for most here, but... it's 'how it works' somewhat:

hi Phil,

Thanks for sharing these video, already subscribed to your channel. Where do I find the documents pertaining this Dumble #124?
That's the main reason I subscribed to the board, because maybe forums have become a bit outdated. It's a shame in some sense, but people nowadays prefer watching a video to reading text.

Thanks!

The thread for that is here: http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5719

You can look up info on tons of other dumble schematics etc in the dumble files section under the hot rods section which also houses the trainwreck stuff
