The "Dumble tone" IMO is one of the many prejudices in regard to what Alexander does: providing a creative player with the freedom to chose the kind of "tone" this player thinks to be the one best suited for his performance of a certain piece of music.
The Dumble amps I know IMO are rather versatile instruments and IMO this is just what is demonstrated by all the posts in this thread.
As an example: For this performance with Coolio Charly Bonat used exactly the same 1st generation ODS as for "Blues vom Anfang", but dialed in to provide him with some different flavour:

So people who might be interested in Dumble amps because they are looking for a Robben Ford or Larry Carlton or David Lindley etc. sound in a can, will perhaps be disappointed, that after for the first time plugging their guitar cable into the input of a Dumble amp perhaps it won't be Steve Lukather etc. what they perceive. For myself this was a very humbling experience around thirty years back, but a very educational one, too.
Concerning "Dumble tone without a Dumble": Yes, obviously no Dumble amp on the stage, so probably a Zen indeed.
Cheers and a great weekend for all here!
