Actually the description is quite generic, designed to sell to those who do not really know Dumble style amps...like "Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, David Lindley tone" etc...
"A repro of the Robben Ford Dumble Overdrive Special"
"mounted in the chassis of a seventies Fender amp"
"with an added AB763 Blackface channel, all of them footswitchable"
"mid boost switch, treble boost switch, PAB, rock/jazz switch"
He explains that the amp is quite complcated ', like a Mesa Boogie, and that the user need to get used to the controls to exploit all the sounds available.
The Fender channel is classic Blackface, with an added master volume though. He then says that among teh current crop of Dumble inspired amps, the closest you could compare it to is the the Fuchs TDS.
The specs :
50W - 1x12" (either Tonkerlite or Eminence Legend)
2 6L6 (NOS Svetlanas - hard to find he says)
External bias control points
Reverb (tube reverb it seems)
Orange drop capacitors
Hammond output transformer
Mains transformer : from the UK, high quality
4 and 8 ohms speaker outs
Price : 1000€ with the Tonkerlite - 950€ with the Eminence Legend
Thats' basically it. I'd be curious to try it out though. Next time I'm in Paris...

Multi channel amps are nothing new.
But Mr. Dumble was the guy that made them sound good.
Most everybody agrees that the early blackface Fender amps have some of the best clean tones ever developed.
But what Dumble did was marry that to a very good and unique overdrive tone.
Some of the boutique builders that followed Dumble came up with amps with a clean channel and two overdrive channels.
All depends what a guitarist wants or wants to pay for.
