Re: Lets Talk Dumble!
I've had the privileged of playing both a Dumble Overdrive & a trainwrek. The TW iIMHO was a far superior amp in all the harmonics that it had clean as well as dirty. I played the dumble for about an hour & the TW for maybe 20 to 30 minutes but really in just a few minutes I felt the trainwreck in my bones. It was everything a guitar player would want from an amp. Based on that (needless to say I don't have 25+K to drop on any amp or gear) I bought a Komet. A few years ago I was looking into amps to buy & I believe I was heavily considering the Marshall Vintage Modern, but after playing it I thought it was uninspiring so I continued to search. I would up buying a Komet 60 that I found used and I got a very good deal on it. I paid more for the Komet then I did for any other amp but it is such a beautiful sounding amp. But using one amp is very hard for me. Based on the size of the rooms I typically play I usually gig with a Deluxe Reverb. Its small and not tremendously loud but it works for what I do. Sometimes I would like to get a bit more drive out of it but not often. The challenge with a small wattage amp is headroom. The Komet is the most harmonically alive amp I think I have ever played through consistently. I don't play it exceptionally loud but its still pretty loud. I A/B this with my Bogner Shiva and the two amps give me everything I would need. I use the Komet for a majority of my cleans and the Bogner for my drive. Works well for me....
