The knob count looks right I wonder how it sounds?

There are certainly similar elements in a Twin topology and various Dumbles designs. Have a look at the 'Dumble Files' section of the forum for layouts and schematics and you'll see how they compare and differ from a Twin.
I read somewhere that HAD only changed one cap in a Twin and called it an ODS. :roll:
Hah, Bully Z would be proud... :wink:

This is my first post here and so I figured I'd share. I found on Alessandro Amps Facebook page today that he recently built what he described as

"A Twin Reverb/Dumble inspired head I did for John Mayer with a 2x12 cabinet loaded with my custom Neo 12" speakers."

Nice looking amp indeed

Is the Dumble circuit similar to that of the Twin Reverbs? I am of starting to do some research as I am interested in building a Dumble type of amp (Ideally the SSS) in future.
The Allesandro looks pretty enough.

I can't tell by the picture, did they use the Vox Trademark grill cloth?

Best Regards,

Steve

Fender put these knobs on the Starcaster during the 70's

I love the look of the silver amps and the silver knobs, don't get me started on the font on the silver amps!

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but does anyone know what's going on underneath the hood? Don't mean to start a flame, but have heard that it is extremely similar to a lone twin reverb circuit.

I think they go for $4K now.

I meant something like "simply a twin reverb (showman) circuit". A few component changes.
