1980s Dumble Overdrive Special

Holy smokes, the holy grail amp. A Dumble Overdrive Special from the 1980s that’s been well-cared for and maintained. This cabinet was built by Doug Stalters in Poplar with proper dovetails, and with two modifications: laser engraving the face plate to the original design, and to change the layout by moving the master volume to the front and replacing the mini blade switches with mini toggles. The latter of which is something that Dumble himself has been using since the 90s. The chassis is engraved as a 50w Overdrive Special; but this in fact a 100w model. Additionally, you’ll find a built-in Dumbleator tube-buffered effects loop. This, combined with a master volume knob, are rare finds on a Dumble.
We’ve got an additional series of demos here with our own Billy Presnell walking through all the details:
Here’s an example with overdriven distortion:
