This is the board installed in the amplifier. This one works great.[IMG:640:480]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v670/ ... CF5990.jpg[/img]

I don't think I have posted any clips of this amplifier with the ported 1x12 EVM12-S cabinet I got. I think this amp really sounds great with single coil guitars.

Hi ic-racer!
So what is your feedback on this build after five years? Has the tone changed a bit? Are you still happy with the amp? Thanks!

Awesome sounding amp!

I have thought of reasons it might sound better now:

1) I have a good ported cabinet
2) I know which guitars work best with the circuit (single coils).
3) I'm a better player than 5 years ago
4) Various voodoo changes in the amp from running it many hours?

IC-Racer,

That 2014 is a really nice clip! Beautiful tone and great playing!
Thanks for sharing it.

I listened to it several times and then compared it with one of your Manzamp clips.

Out of curiousity, do you have a preference of which amp is your favorite between this one and your Manzamp? I like both of them, yet the Manzamp sounds a little smoother and more transparent to my ears.

with respect, 10thtx

Thanks a lot for your feedback ic-racer! I'm still hesitating between what Dumble model to replicate so that was helpful!

Recent clip recorded with the amplifier from this thread. Still sounds good to me.
