    I'm not even a big fan of the Dumble amplifier sound. But if Howard had offered to build me an amp, of course I'd figure out how to fund it and say OK. What guitar player wouldn't?

    I saw and heard one of these, for sale at an electronic surplus place in Peabody MA back in the 70s. As I strolled by it, it captivated me with its random, soothing mellow tones. Unfortunately it was out of my poor-student price range back then.

    Sounds amazing as is. Weird when turned up, yes, but very cool. It would be great for adding colour to a track. The stock speakers in those are crap, but the amp is hand wired and a pretty close relative to the 50 watt non-master-volume Marshall of that era. It's a keeper.

    I tried an Overdrive Special in '87. Sounded amazing. Before that I knew nothing about Dumbles, just heard good word of mouth. But a Dumble owner let me try the amp and see what it can do. Just an amazing tone and very, very loud, but still musical at high volume.

  • @doordedeur
    @doordedeur 5 місяців тому

    It sounds a lot warmer than a DX-7. Mainly because of the simpler algorithms and the chorus effect. I wonder why Yamaha never fitted the DX-7 with a chorus. Even the cheaper DX-21 has one.

    • @cubdukat
      @cubdukat 4 місяці тому

      I don't know if that would have been such a good idea, given how noisy the original DX7 was, although I suppose chorused digital noise could be musically useful somehow...

    • @doordedeur
      @doordedeur 3 місяці тому

      Without any chorus or reverb, the DX-7 sounds very ugly. So even with extra noise a chorus would benefit the harsh sounds.

    • @Shred_The_Weapon
      @Shred_The_Weapon 2 місяці тому

      They were also trying to make the DX7 as economical as possible. It’s a hypothesis that adding effects circuitry in 1983 would have made it heavier and pricier.

    I had your Fender Bassman Dennis. Howard fixed it up to run with my Gibson EB-3 which he wired Stereo HI/Z Low/Z. In Spring of 1974 he cut out the body and installed a Les Paul Low/Z Recording Pickup in the bass and matched it to the Fender Bassman by installing a Low/Z transformer in the Second Channel. I played it with a XLR jack out to split 1/4 inch jacks Hi/Low into both channels of the Bassman. Grreat rig. I have the Gibson still. The Bassman I sold to a shop in Indiana. LOL He converted it back to Straight even knowing it was a Dumble amp. PS You said Howard was......has he died? He was a terrific guy. I could barely pry my bass out of his hands after he finished it.
