This is a Dumble Overdrive Special, s/n 023X. This was built in 2008 for Blackbird Studios in Nashville. The amp is paired with a 12-in EVM12L speaker in a 1x12 Vumble speaker cabinet. Both come with custom made amp covers. I also recommend pairing this with a set of 4x12 Celestion goldbacks - it’s a beautiful combination, and someone could create a custom speaker package based on what I’ve learned which could continue to bring out the amp’s character.
The amp plays beautifully and has been extremely well cared for - no evidence of wear or markings, and the electronics function perfectly. Runs from smooth, blooming cleans, to musical crunch, and the rock/jazz, mid, and bright switches help you bring out the most of your playing, perfect for anyone that plays a range of styles. As we learn more about how sound travels from one’s brain to fingers, through a pickup/amp chain, and through speakers, this piece has the ability to expand how to hear the differences, and helps one discover the vocabulary to explain what they hear. Since Dumble passed in 2022, we are again learning how much of an impact he had on our passion and art.
Paired with the amp head is also a 1980s-era Dumbleator in overall great condition. This example functions properly without issue and is considered a must have by many of the most notable long time Dumble users in the world. Comes with a beautiful custom made flight case, Please email or call with any questions.
Shipping is elevated for this piece given the value and fragility. Personal delivery is negotiable.
