Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
Reportedly, he bought the amp at Gruhn guitars in Nashville just the other day. It'll be interesting to see what type it is and how he uses it...

Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
Very interesting... How did you get the story about the purchase?
Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
Saw him a couple years ago and he sounded nowhere near that good. In many ways.... Cool.

Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
It's the combo to his right, right?
Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
Very cool he is using a Dumble.
Also, the pedal steel player in this band is using a Tim Marcus amp called Milkman steel guitar amp (tag member) to right of the stage.

It's on the Les Paul Forum and The Gear Page, apparently someone went to the store and got the scoop.martin manning wrote:Very interesting... How did you get the story about the purchase?

Sounds like...Clapton.
Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
Agreed. Yet, the tone is not muddy like it can be with his Tweed Twins. I think he's getting a great sound.turbo5speed wrote:Sounds like...Clapton.

Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
A friend of an acquaintance was the owner of said Dumble. He had it on consignment at Gruhn Guitars. Supposedly it belonged to Eric Johnson.

Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
Anyone figured out which model? Is it an ODS?

Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
Eric really digs into the amp in this video HERE.
After a good 5-6 times through the video, my best assessment is High Plate Skyline Non-HRM 6L6ʻs.
Whatʻd you guys think?

Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
That, or a well tuned HRM with EL34s comes to mind. Both a Dumble I played and a personal build of mine would do this tone.
Clapton uses a mid boost in his strat for that tone. I wish the audio was a little better.

Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
Definitely a much better sound. I've got his 24 Nights live at the Royal Albert Hall double cd and i always think of that beeing the ultimate Clapton live sound. I believe he uses Soldano amps.ayan wrote:Agreed. Yet, the tone is not muddy like it can be with his Tweed Twins. I think he's getting a great sound.turbo5speed wrote:Sounds like...Clapton.

Re: Clapton's Dumble On the Bandstand
A friend of mine was t that show. He doesn't know Dumbles, but he knows tone. He said it sounded fantastic.
