Here is a pic out of the latest Premier Guitar issue (April 2012), clearly you can see the ODS, but the article states that she uses a Bad Cat Black Cat 30R.

Better seen here:

Anyone knows who's Dumble is it?

Good weekend to all!

[M Fowler]

She has been a long time Dumble user.

[Structo]

Cool she has suede.

I wasn't aware she had one.

[alvarezh]

She has been a long time Dumble user.

Thanks!

All the best.

That's Jackson Browne's ODS (2nd Gen/ 100w w/ 6L6's)

[alvarezh]

Thank you Greg.

Wishing you the best!

What's the SN on that one?

[boldaslove6789]

Sorry Jelle, don't know the serial on that one. AFAIK it was built around the same time as Steve Kimock's 50w Dumble ODS serial #86 so between 86 and #100

No matter what amp she uses she sounds like Bonnie. Love it...

2 recordings years apart, guitar sounds the same, the voice sounds the same.

I remember reading somewhere it was Lowell George who turned her on to using dual compressors, I think you'll hear a similarity in her and Lowell's slide sound. Not sure who was Dumbled first, but I suspect it was Lowell. She's always been really cool though, I've been a fan for a long time. I must admit these days Mr Trucks bride Susan Tedesche has turned my head a bit..

Greg, this isn't a 2nd generation ODS amp with a "pre-classic" tone stack, a funky OD entrance, no snubbers, no ratio control and an accent switch like this one e.g.: http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12870

This ODS amp is in fact a typical "transition generation" ODS amp with a "classic" tone stack, a "trigger" OD entrance, snubbers and a ratio control. Most of these transition generation amps I know with still an accent switch have a "low plate classic" circuit like this one: http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12872 but of course with the exception of the presence control. But you'll find "transition generation" amps with a "high plate classic" circuit, too. #0094 is an example for such a "high plate classic" transition generation amp.

Some of these transition generation ODS amps have the ratio control on the back and a full grown presence control on the front, like #0075 of Steve Farris e.g.

Some have the ratio control on the front and still have an accent switch, like #093 e.g. (this is the version of an transition generation ODS Bonnie Raitt is pictured with here).

Some have the ratio control on the front and a small presence contol on the front, like #0094 e.g.

I've attached some pictures: The first one shows a real 2nd generation ODS. The other pictures show some versions of the "transition generation" ODS amps.

Cheers,

Max

Sorry max,

Then we'll call it a 3rd gen Transitional era "Classic"

Max,
Do you know if Bonnie's amp is low plate classic or high plate classic?

[jelle]

I played one of these transition 'Sesame Street' font ODS amps. It sounded like a low plate. The cleans were very nice, and the OD was plain awesome, to me at least. I loved it. It screamed!

Sorry, not much more to add to this discussion....

Bonnie's also been known to lug around ODSR #60..Another one of JB's Dumbles..Recently written up in Premiere Guitar!!
