Rabs Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 But its the "Holy Grail of tube amps" surely it would be worth re-mortgaging your house just for the TONE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Sure it's nice, but just beware of the little hidden extra costs like shipping, insurance, and the genuine 1959 Les Paul you'll need to get to rock out on that thing to get the genuine Creedence tone.

Searcy Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The shop up the road from me had about half a dozen of them a little while back. They were about $30,000 each if I remember right. They sold fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searcy Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 My 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid did not cost even half that much. And it gets 45 MPG. I would never spend any real money on a car. My 97 Accord was $900. It only gets about 35MPG though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I don't drive Hondas but I've tried two Dumbles. Dumbles sound great to Howard Dumble, and he was nuts. Pass. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHenry Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 There was a review of one in Guitarist magazine last month: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKunm4Z1IXA It looks like someone wanted their amp to look like a tart's handbag. You could buy a lot of very nice gear for that sort of money. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should tell cb this has great tone???!!!! Good grief - just shy of 100,000 quid! Gold plated "tone" if ever there was such a thing. I'll stick with my Mesa thanks.

pippy Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 There was a review of one in Guitarist magazine last month... That was actually a pretty good demo. I'll just have to take the guy's word for how good it sounds in real life; through my pc's speakers it sounded very good but similar to loads of other (slightly more affordable) amps. Didn't someone here (badbluesplayer?) build a Dumble clone from a kit a few years ago?............................... Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Didn't someone here (badbluesplayer?) build a Dumble clone from a kit a few years ago?................ We built five or so Dumble style kit amps from Ceriatone. There's lots of "overdrive" type amps based on the Dumbles. Two Rock, Bludotone, Fuchs ODS. I'm getting ready to rebuild a vintage Bassman head into a two channel footswitchable ODS type amp like what Fuchs is doing. The Fender Supersonics are very similar to Dumbles, BTW. They just aren't individually tuned for each customer, so they can sound pretty lifeless unless they're tweaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 The Paul Rivera-designed Fender Twin Reverb II has a 3-stage cascading gain lead channel, meant to compete with Dumbles. All of that particular range sound superb, and the smaller models are highly sought after. Rivera also designed the red-knob Twin and associated amps (I gig with a red-knob Super 60) then went on to greater things with his own amps. I never tried one but they had a good rep.....and something called 'Ninja Boost'!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just aren't individually tuned for each customer, so they can sound pretty lifeless unless they're tweaked. I'm glad I wasn't just imagining things! Interesting to read the last bit. How would you go about 'tweaking' a Supersonic? Is it a bias thing? Excuse my complete ignorance in the workings of an amp's circuitry............ The Paul Rivera-designed Fender Twin Reverb II has a 3-stage cascading gain lead channel, meant to compete with Dumbles... What time-period would that have been, jdgm? I ask because an ex-forumite friend examined the schematics of the Music Man 2x12 Sixty Five and he mentioned it had something like you are describing here. From memory I think he said there were 4 gain-stages which were gradually dialled out of the signal path as the master volume was increased meaning that natural valve overdrive took over the louder amp became. But I could have got that completely arseovertit............. Pip. EDIT : Ernie Ball / Music Man re-introduced some Music Man amps in 2014?!?!........... .............. https://www.music-man.com/amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojorule Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Is it just me, or isn't there usually a wall of them behind Greg Koch in the Wildwood demo videos? I don't think I've ever seen him plugged into one of them, though. And they're always there: presumably nobody in Colorado buys them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
