Members Urinate Forever Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 + hype, though it's got good sustain. Sure, but it really doesn't sound a whole lot different than what you can get from any number of boutique pedal combinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members booher Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 I don't understand what's so great about that tone. it seems pretty generic to me. especially for an amp going for 95,000 BIN. Not to mention, I think the sound is pretty buzzy. Don't we have the MT-2 for that?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbbeSauniere Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 alright, what the hell is a "dumble" tone?Dumble tone is about the physics of electrons surviving in a free space vacuum...whereas they have trouble in a crystal lattice!

Members AsarlaiK Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 I think it is pretty unique tone and there are a few variations. There's the Robbin Ford variation, the SRV Texas Flood variation, and my personal favorite is Larry Carlton's which is best heard on the late 80's Last Night CD. Listen to the opening track, a Miles Davis tune called Say What...which is a monster tone...ooooh the sustain and dynamics. Bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dan-o-guitar Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Over on TGP, a new boutique overdrive builder pops up literally every month. The latest batch are all about dumble tones out of a tubescreamer. A bigger yawn I could not imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest batch are all about dumble tones out of a tubescreamer.A bigger yawn I could not imagine. Someone was actually asking me if I was getting hot over those particular pedals (the ones with 'colors', yes?), and I said that they hadn't perked my interest in the least. A line of differently voiced tubescreamers... hmpf. And not radically modded either - I mean, I can hear the TS in them all. And I'm glad to hear more folks not 'getting' the Dumble thing... I personally think they sound... not so special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't we have the MT-2 for that?.... I actually thought it sounded pretty smooth. That is just the way tubes sound with hot pickups on a guitar. Honestly, I don't think that clip really frames the amp's capabilities well. That's the thing about YouTube... the clips are all degraded slightly. The other thing is, Mr. Ford didn't really play all that much in that clip. He sung more than he soloed and didn't play at all during the verses.

I personally think they sound... not so special. they sound too tame, refined, predictable, etc. just sounds like a 40-something white guy who's obsessed w/ tired white boy genres dream tone.

Members Welladjusted Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 To the doubters...it IS a Youtube video lol. Youtube is hardly the place to go for audio fidelity. Agreed, but the whole dumble thing really is ridiculous. $95,000 for any amp is just idiotic, especially when you have so many high quality amps out there for at least $90,000 less that don't sound proportionately inferior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jb1911 Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Does this need an already overdriven amp? It sounds great that way, but it also sounds great when it's volume is up a bit and it's pushing your amp even when it's set for clean. I think it sounds good at bedroom volumes too.
