The amp was built in 2006..May be ALL you need to load up the preamp and cop that xtra gain..IN MY OPINION, THIS IS the AMP.... I sold a personal combo amp w/that circuit and have regretted ever since. Another one wil be in work soon! lol!

Hi Jim,
why not?
I know a lot of guitar amps that have very different circuits than original Dumble amps that IMO really sound great and that I like a lot. So what you report is no big surprise in my opinion, at least not for me. Just listen to all the great music that has no Dumble or even no amp at all on the guitar track:

IMHO, one of the best guitar tones ever recorded was Eric Clapton on the studio version of "Spoonful" from Fresh Cream; both the neck and bridge pickups sound out of this world on that one, and there is even fedback for good measure. I have often wondered if people like Eric Johnson and Robben Ford didn't have that tone in mind (along with the "Beano" record) when they set out to find their voice. And then we talk about Dumble tones? Those Marshall tones, along with Ritchie Blackmore's (through the tape preamp), have never been surpassed in my book.

The best tone for marshall imho is sweet lucy on blackmores later releases, just sick! I`ve own really really great marshalls, and the best thing @ a dumble circuit is getting that crunch at a manageble volume, with the music i play itsa must, and i`m forever greatful!

so if you build a RF 100w from the layout on this forum, you aren't building the correct amp?

not sure if "RF DUNBLE" means "OJAI"..... but even if it does shouldn't building the RF amp from tony's layout be the same as the Ojai? two rock TS1 is another clone of the same amp... supposedly.
