Something Dumble wasn't able to control. A notion not consistent with his legend. There is ample evidence that the 'it' factor varied with his amps.
Robben Ford mentioned the same about an #102 'clone' dumble build for him, which according to HAD, it was as close as he could get, but to Robben never sounded the same. In this instance he didn't compare amps side by side, just went with his documentation. It was an interesting interview, wish I had it at hand, will try to find it on YouTube when I have some time
This one? https://youtu.be/LO-QZNeIBYU
When the are talking about comparisons it seems like they are referencing mostly the speaker cabinets …no?

Robben echoes the same old “ had built them almost exactly the same ; as close as possible”
