It's a great sounding amp. I'd buy one if I was rich, just to have. There are a lot of great sounding amps for far less $ though and the player's touch has a lot to do with it too. I tried a Two Rock that sounded really great and was a lot less cheaper, but still very expensive for the average player...so many amps, so many choices. Whatever you hear in your head and can get out into your music is the best, Dumble, Peavey, Marshall,,,doesn't matter.

@gman8thst1 Great attitude! That's exactly how I feel. If you can match what's in your head, then the gear that'll do it - no matter what - will suffice.

Does your wife know you bought this? I didnt think so!



[GoofyDawg]

@Bflatest HA! That's not my amp; it's Henry Kaiser's

Or just a good Fender and boost pedal

@bbnatedogg "Or just a good Fender and boost pedal"

You got a point there... To be honest, to hear someone like Doug play the Dumble, and REALLY squeeze out all sorts of tones with the amp, it was amazing, which was why I submitted that the amp could be worth 40k (or maybe I was suffering from a bit of I'm-not-worthy syndrome). But frankly, I'd rather have a Fender ProSonic or SuperSonic than a Dumble. You get killer cleans and over-the-top gain. Best of both worlds with those amps.

@willeng84 +1.....Kaiser is a joke. It'd be nice if we could all buy a Dumble with Grandpa's naval shipbuilding profits. It makes me shudder when I think of all the extravagant handmade ultra high-end gear he owns, yet uses it to create un-listenable off key sonic filth.

[Fitzliputzli23]

I hear some noisy "flangery" artefacts in the mid-treble. But I think it is not the amp - it may be due to the poor mp3 sampling of the audio.

Nice, but lots of amps sound great!

[TheMichaelseymour]

@gman8thst1 true dat !

[chuckelator]

Maybe it's because I'm listening to this streaming on youtube, but I don't hear anything that I haven't heard before. Don't get me wrong, this amp sounds wonderful, but even if I had the money, I wouldn't spend 40 grand on this. I'd rather spend the money on vintage Marshalls, Oranges, and Dr. Z gear.

@ 8:13 Killer tone.

@lostingravy The more I read your comment the more full of shit I know you are. Really a Scratchy ass toppy BOOGIE vs. this.....That isn't even the same ballpark. I hate Boogie's they sound like garbage. I think Marshalls can be good with a great boost or drive pedal. And I don't mean the channel switching amps. If you bring one of those things to a gig I will laugh you off the stage and ask if you need money.....What are you afraid of good tone? This thing would make your amps sound like trash.
