Re: Choke Selection Question-Dumble Reverb
Although not a choke question, another interesting thing about this device is the little Triad transformer used as the reverb driver. It is a S-13X which has a primary of 25k and a secondary of 3.2 ohms driven by a 5751 tube. So a mismatch with the 8 ohm input of the reverb pan. Not sure if he was t...

Re: Tweedle Dee LNFB
OK, so I am envious of being able to do all those calculations but did you, at some point, simply disconnect the LNFB and listen to the amp turned up? Do you hear a difference with it in and out of the circuit? If you don't hear a difference, then all the calculating may show why but if you do hear ...

Are potentiometer casings referenced to ground?

Re: Choke Selection Question
Martin, the primary is 60 ohms and the secondary is 235.3 ohms. I wanted a transformer that would fit the existing cut out and I needed enough filament wind for 3 preamp tubes, so the 40 mA was as much as we could get for secondaries. Bill at Heyboer said he also beefed up the primary a bit. For a 6...

Re: Choke Selection Question
Thanks guys. I can say that the device is a three tube stand alone reverb that Dumble did in the early eighties. It uses two 12ax7s and one 5751 as the reverb driver tube. The cut out for the power transformer is the venerable Triad R-2C, so 15mA DC. The hole spacing for the choke is 1 3/4", pretty ...

Re: Dumbleator Filtering
Thank you sir. Yeah I have built a few Dumbleators with the 47uf caps with good results. Not sure why I started to wonder about that other than seeing Brandons original post where he stated that they were 100uf. However, that post was almost 20 years ago.

Choke Selection Question-Dumble Reverb
Hello, I have a device that I am restoring and it was missing the power transformer and the choke. I sorted out the power transformer but I could use some help on selecting a choke. I have this in the Dumble section because it is a Dumble device but unfortunately I cannot share much more than that r...

Dumbleator Filtering
Hello, I am going way back on this question. The main filtering everyone including myself seems to be using are the two 47uf in series per the schematic in the file section. However, I found a real early Brandon post where he stated that the first two caps were 100uf. So I am wondering, did we decid...

Re: New Astron caps?!?
If you want to spend a bunch of money and probably get a good sounding Astron style cap.

Re: Current production Fender ‘65 Deluxe Reverb help
So here is what is going on with this amplifier. Fender has made changes to the circuit that apparently the service department wasn't even aware of. One of the rectifier filament leads (yellow) goes to the tube socket the other (blue) goes to the circuit board. Between the rectifier filament lead an...

Re: 2nd gen chassis and pcb design?
Yes, Overdrive Special is trademarked. As is Dumbleator and Overdrive Reverb. The trademarks are held by the Dumble estate.
