Jerry is a nice guy, but on occasion he can be a dumble.

That is really so true, and I gotta say, when I'm realy really smashed and posting, I turn into a annoying gear snob. Like with silverface amps. Theres nothing wrong with silverface amps, just me when I berate them.

I was asked to post in this thread but first I want to say that when I saw it I assumed Jerry was drunk posting again...it was sad and pointless. I still believe that is the case but since Jerry asked me in another thread to post in this thread I decided I'd pop in and give my opinion...since I see nothing humorous about a grown man, drunk in his underwear posting nonsense about things he really has no idea about I'm going to give an honest opinion of Dumble amps...
I hate 'em...
The Dumble SSS is a good tool for guys that play MEGA loud and can't get enough headroom from a Twin Reverb, Dual Showman or Marshall Major.
The Dumble ODS is a sound that for starters has never really impressed me and frankly I have grown VERY tired of hearing...both the originals and it's dozens of clones.
I find Dumbles to be very stiff, overly compressed in a rather non musical way, the midrange sounds artificial and congested and the sound of the overdrive is very one dimensional to me.
FWIW, my opinion of the ODS sound is based on playing a real Dumble ODS at a guitar show years ago...I wasn't impressed then and I am not impressed now.

WOW, and I find myself agreeing with TGWIF… I played for about 15 minutes on a ODS back in the 90’s when I lived in Pasadena, stiff is a good word to describe it!

Re: Lets Talk Dumble!
While I will never own one and if I have the bucks to buy one I would not.
If its good enough for SVR I may like it.
Anyway I have read an article in a guitar mag a long time ago about Dumble. It said he started modding Fender amps. So I wonder how much of his ideas were based on fender amps.
Another thing,he uses EV speakers in his amps. While im not going to go out to buy an EV I would be curios to how one would sound with my amp.
SRV put EV speakers in all his amps. But I guess thats another thread.
