- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- Dumble amps were made famous by artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Larry Carlton, Santana, and John Mayer to name a few. But if you listen closely, you can hear the legendary amplifiers on some of your favorite pop hits from the 70’s onward.
Today, I’m showing you 5 songs that you (probably) didn’t know used a Dumble amplifier! Additionally, I’m having my good friend Tim Marco recreate each tone using a Deluxe Reverb and an Ultraphonix Overdrive with a touch of Delay from the Source Audio Collider.
If you know of a song that used a Dumble that we didn’t mention, let us know in the comments below!

#DumbleAmplifiers #DumbleODS #RigDoctor
If you know of a song that used a Dumble that we didn’t mention, let us know in the comments below!
Apparently 'Owner of a lonely heart' by Yes was a heavily processed Dumble ODS.
Also, unconfirmed, but I had heard that the 'Beat It' solo for Michael Jackson was an ODS, but this is fairly disputed.
Don't know for sure, but what about Christopher Cross?
@@joseesquivel4020 there might be some on there from Larry Carlton.
@fastguitar I looked up a few, it doesn't seem to be clear if a Dumble was used however.
@fastguitar oh, I didn't know that. Ride Like the Wind had a great solo.
Ride Like the Wind by Christopher Cross. He used a 1959 Les Paul Custom 2- pickup into his Dumble Overdrive Special with Marshall 4x12 loaded with 4 JBL D120s. Per interview with Rick Beato. A
Session player Jeff Watson bought my 100w Dumble head in the mid 80s and recorded 100s if not thousands of tracks with it. It's on many sound tracks for tv and films as well as famous albums.
If you’re still in touch with him or you have some idea of the song that was used on, we love to connect to do a follow up video to this at some point in the near future
I bet every time you hear one of those songs you wish you had that amp back huh lol.
@@thejakefromstatefarm6768 man sold his ticket to the bigtime
@@benji6229 well maybe he felt like it went to the better talent. But he probably still misses the hell out of the amp.
Hitting yourself in the head over that one, aren’t ya?
That was great. Great playing by Tim. Love the Carlos Rios solo....classic.
Glad you enjoyed it
I remember listening to Running On Empty in the car during college and noting it as having one of the best guitar sounds ever.
Man! Jackson Browne is so good and thanks for putting that tone in my mind all together!
the best!
Yeah, THAT solo is what cemented my wanting to play guitar when I was a kid. It still gives me chills.
That pedal is great. I love running on empty and that is really close to the sound.
Awww....thanks man! It was really more about the songs, we had originally planned to used Tim's Ceriatone OTS, but it blew a power tube right before we the session so we had to do a quick pivot.
My god- That Like a rock tone is GODLIKE
Heck yea! Tim Marco killed it!
Thanks for the great video & for causing me to go back & have a listen to these wonderful tunes.
Heck yea!!! Hope you dig it!
Jeff Pevar who played with David Crosby in CPR is a Dumble owner and I'm pretty sure he uses it on the first CRP record.
Incredible playing Tim!!!
Bring in the "MARCO"!
Ry cooder playing on John Hiatt’s Memphis in the Meantime…best Dumble tone ever!!
Rios is a flippin' genius. Such a tasty player. Also, I hoped "The Heat is On" would have been on the list. That's gotta be a strat into a Dumble for that juicy lead guitar tone.
Super nice playing!
Thanks for listening
Great playing and nice tones from the pedal and DL
Great tone and playing by Tim....and I dig his Duane approved string curls on his LP headstock!
Yesssss indeed!
Yep I play my 58 Les Paul through my Dumble. I only know the G C and D chords. But damn I’m cool. I always have them sitting out when I throw my parties in Beverly Hills, and my cool friends drool over them. 🤙🏽
I’m so stoked I just ordered the Vox Valvenergy Silk Drive (a Dumble o.d. with NuTube) to pair with my Origin Effects SlideRig (double 1176 compressors) for slide.
Chasing the tone dragon my friends.
Didn't know it was a Dumble style thing
@@VertexEffectsInc Very underrated piece of gear, especially with the tube shortage issues we have. It acts as a standard O.D., and has a preamp mode to act as an amp that can go straight into the board, and a cab sim mode for recording. All 4 of them sound great.
Seems up your alley my friend.
Tone videos on UA-cam sold me on it. A battery powered all analog tube O.D. that doubles as a preamp? Hell yeah.
I plan on using it with my Fender Acoustic Jr. Go battery operated 100w amp for a tube tone busking setup.
Never thought I’d see the day.
Great job Tim.
Great job Tim 👍
He did great!!!
Ride Like The Wind by Christopher Cross.
Lead guitar solo played on a Dumble ODS
Loved this so much!
I'm so glad!
Great vid.cheers
Thanks Rev!
Running on Empty sold me, now I really want an Ultra Phoenix for my Deluxe Reverb.
It's pretty magic!
Rick Vito used the same Dumble LP Junior combination on Jackson Browne's "Tender is the night".
Nice...that's a great sound!
...and that's a hell of a solo!!
@@markusfrieauff5651 sure is!
RIP Dr D , not all of us where lucky enough to own a dumble , i see more and more dumble in a box pedals - which i think is good , i like pedals. i wonder what he would have said about that , all the harmonix , are they truly able to thrive in the crystal lattuce of a solid state pedal design ? i wonder in a parallel universe , if Dr D made pedals instead , what those would be , i am guessing a tin hat 741 op amp with a pair of red 3mm clippers and a low end shaping control instead of a "tone", but all of that is silly . thanks for the videos , really enjoyable content here . i recently heard henry kaiser tell this great story about meeting the Doctor who was riding a moped at the time , man i wish i could have been a fly on that wall .
Thanks for watching Petey!!
RIP Howard Dumble. Apparently he died yesterday. Weird coincidence I started looking up Dumble pedals today and heard the news. Not sure if it was Covid related.
Yes, I heard, sad news indeed!
Thought the Jackson Brown stuff was common knowledge and I always think about him and Lindsey when I think of Dumble tracks. Otherwise had no idea about the others listed, great clip ❤️
I was reminded as well of Christopher Cross...we'll have to do a follow up!
I went to see Lindley in 2010 when they were touring together after growing up listening to his El Rayo X albums, I didn’t know who Jackson Brown was. He still put on a great show in 2018-see him if you get the chance.
He's amazing!
RIP David Lindley 3/3/2023
Perhaps you know, but Andy Brauer was the first Dumble dealer. I suspect that Luke also rented a Dumble from him (like Robben did) for the Boz sessions. Luke was a long time cartage client of Andy’s.
Chris Johnson and I bought Andy out in 2005, and called the new company Hollywood Studio Rentals. Chris bought me out in 2013 and I retired to Hawaii.
Yes, I'm aware that he "broke" Dumble to a lot of the LA scene but my understanding was that he was renting them out more than being a "dealer". I think you were still beholden to Dumble's approval and audition if you wanted one. I think the studio rented the amp, not sure if Luke requested it or not - I know that Bill Schnee (producer/engineer) was also a great musician and worked a lot of with Carlton and other Dumble guys and might have requested it for the session because he wanted that sound for the record.
After careful and considered research,re-checking original recordings,etc etc. I am now quite conflicted,I cant make up my mind,if the $150,000 amplifier sounds better to my ear,than the $150 pedal. My wife and my accountant have been fairly definitive however.
😂😂😂
Aight that's the best OD pedal I've ever heard
Pretty dang good!
Do "5 hits you didn't know used a Klon!"
hahahaha...might be a harder one to do.
Easier to do hits that don’t 😭
@@kodykindhart5644 LOLOLOL!
Mason are you using a deluxe reverb as the baseline or canvas for voicing your pedals? In the video is that the 65 reissue? Or vintage? Tones in the video are very good.
Typically a Hot Rod Deluxe or Deville. It's a 1964 Deluxe Reverb - original with a Celestion speaker.
Ah, improving the speaker really improves these Deluxes dramatically. Next step is a better output transformer if feel need for improving the low end more.
Hey! We're over here! Why are you looking over there??? (LOL)
Huh?
Ride Like The Wind by Christopher Cross I think Eric Johnson played solo on Dumble amp. I’m pretty sure Peg on Steely Dan album was played by Jay Graydon using a Dumble.
I think Eric Johnson only played on Minstrel Gigolo, could be wrong. Do you see him in the credits for that song? I know that Jay Graydon used it on Peg.
Your correct Eric Johnson did not appear on that song and I had believed he did for many years. Keep up the good work I use you string singer pedal everyday and will soon add the HRM pedal.
@@slickwilly9334 Amazing! I'm so glad! Enjoy the HRM!!!
@@VertexEffectsInc I think Eric used a Mesa Boogie Mark1 on that track.
@@RoyTrevinoMusic nice!
Lindley's lap steel, I bet you, was a Rickenbacker, an old Bakelite one.
Thanks for make the video. I think Jimmie Vaughan used a Dumble on a few songs with the Fabulous Thunderbirds. But I would really prefer if Vertex made a Super Reverb pedal that sounded very glassy because this is what SRV and Jimmie Vaughan used was Super Reverb amps with Ceramic Magnet Speakers. For some reason the Super Reverb amp is more glassy compared to other fender amps. I would try using the Vertex Dumble pedal and bypass the fender amps front end preamp and go direct into the Super Reverb effects return or Putting the Vertex Dumble pedal in the Super Reverbs effects loop to blend in the dumble clean overtones to mix with the fender super reverb preamp amp. What I do is put a compression side chain EQ pedal in the effect loop which sounds very dumble to me with my fender amp because its adding compression and side chain the EQ with the compression as well as I use the strats Middle pickup and roll down the volume back and it gives that Texas Flood midrange and Jimmie Vaughan tones
Wonder if Jimmy used an SSS?
@@VertexEffectsInc yes I do. I think Jimmie Vaughan used dumble amps in the studio maybe for the fabulous thunderbirds band albums. You can see Jimmie Vaughan playing rhythm guitar with SRV from various live concerts using SRV SSS dumble amp with his strat middle pickup or telecaster guitar
@@waynegram8907 interesting...
@@VertexEffectsInc Listen to Jimmie Vaughan song Just Like Putty, this is his middle pickup volume rolled back fender super reverb or matchless amp four 10 inch speakers. The Vertex pedal SSS should have a way of creating glassy clean tones to really make the guitar sound very glassy. The four 10 inch speakers give the midrange and compression creating the glassy clean tones.
@@waynegram8907 nice...that is a good sound.
GREAT VIDEO
Ok I'm going on a limb here
Mike Post - any of the Cop show themes Dumble ( pretty sure)
Todd Sharp - Dumble user
Mr.Mister Dumble user
And I believe ( not sure ) this is is an out there one Carl Wilson Beach Boys - don't know what tracks
And wasn't Verlaine from Television a Dumble user
Plus Christopher Cross stuff
Thanks Joe!
Great video. your buddy there is a heck of a player and I will check out Warren Zevon, Numb as a Statue.
Cool, thanks
I’ve been chasing this time for months and now I’ve found my solution I gotta get a vertex !!!!!
🙏🙏🙏
I've read that the guitar on "Kyrie" (Mr. Mister) has been played through an early Overdrive Special Combo.
We'll have to check that out. I know the Steve Ferris used them but there aren't many solos on those records by Mr. Mister to really pull out.
I remember when Steve Farris used to play here in Marshalltown Iowa at a bar called Butch N Nellies he was a great player throwing Al Di Meola licks in What is Hip
@@Lukehart1953 nice!!!!
Regardless, the song and the guitar on it sounds amazing
@@DenKulesteSomFins no doubt!
"Breakdown Dead Ahead" was played by 1959 Les Paul, I think.
Wish we had one for the video :)
Christopher Cross: Ride like the wind and Never be the same again.
Yes! I don’t know what that model was called, the 200W Dumble with the flamingo on the front. Not sure if it was an ODS or other.
Tim’s intonation is money
Yes indeed! One of the best!
that was the best...
Glad you dig it!
It may have been said, but did't Lowell George use a Dumble with Little Feat or am I mistaken?
Did you use the Deluxe for some of those famous solos, like (Boz Scaggs’) “Breakdown Dead Ahead”?
No, that was already the ‘burst. I’d just gotten it.
Greg, the same amp was used in all the examples. Fender Deluxe with the Ultraphonix Overdrive into it. That one had a little delay from the Source Audio Nemesis as well.
@@VertexEffectsInc sorry so late. That was a quote from Lukather. He did not use a Dumble. Still all sounds great as usual.
Has anyone done a “Klon into a Dumble” video? Million dollar tone?
would love this!
Hmmmmm
Listen to John Mayer.. He has the klon in his pedalboard into his dumble.
@@rickyapasan1311 I think it is the Dumble tone from an reasonably priced amp that Mason is shooting for, not a combination Dumble Klon.
I think Ben Harper has a Dumble that he bought from Lindley. Not sure which tracks it might be on.
Ben Harper bought the one that Carlos Rios used on “Dancing on the Ceiling”
I think you're wrong about the Lukather solo from "Breakdown dead ahead". I believe he used a Rivera-modded Deluxe by then.
Nope, pretty well documented and in interviews with Luke.
Tim looks and feels incredibly like John Mayer when he plays mmmmhhhh🤔
Mason ...How about Lowell George?
Yes, for sure, some of the Little Feat stuff used a Dumble for sure.
Technically that's just one hit in my country: Lionel Richie - Dancing on the Ceiling. And I think that's pretty much the story in most of Europe, but still: nice try. Have to listen to the other four on Spotify to know what they are, I guess... Sorry, I'm Dutch. I know the Lido Shuffle though. Did that use a Dumble?
No, Lido Shuffle was before this album "Middle Man" was made.
I know this is a vertex advertisement but still...i feel like those hands could get pretty close to the tone using a chinese boss clone.
It's not so much about the pedal as the songs, and showcasing those. It's not a commentary on how to get those tones, just on that fact that those songs used that amplifier.
If you live outside the US and you are under 40, you can read the title as "5 hits you didn't know , used a Dumble"
We don't make the size of the titles, only the thumbnails - UA-cam determines the text size.
@@VertexEffectsInc All I am trying to say is that these songs are not so massively known...
@@eliasstukos170 They all charted in the top 100 in the USA.
@@VertexEffectsInc I'm sure they did! I'm not trying to discredit or disrespect your work. I thought It was obvious that I meant it as a joke.
@@VertexEffectsInc hence, “5 hits you didn’t know”... dum dum chshh 🥁
Santana used Dumble's.
Yes but not until the 2000's I think "Shaman" was the first album with it. Not sure how many of those were "hits"?
Damn! Another subliminal message telling me to buy a deluxe reverb?
It’s a great pedal platform with the right pedal into it. Obviously it wouldn’t produce this distortion on its own.
Pro tip for slide guitar playing and good intonation, keep your slide straight over the fret!
O.M.G. - I love Carlos Rios - super underrated & fantastic player. ( nice guy - too ). Listen to the his guitar solo on: Novo Combo "Welcome Innervision" - he Rips. oNe LovE from NYC
One of the best out there!
Did Carlos Rios use a Dumble for his fantastic solos on Gino Vanelli's "Brother to Brother"?
@@billgdegilliomusic3195 Quite possibly, but I can't confirm . . . That's a question for The Rig Dr. ???
@@billgdegilliomusic3195 No, that was a Mesa Boogie Mark I
@@VertexEffectsInc Cool! Thank you, Mason!
Lowell George!!!
That is all
Later in his career he did. Most of the big Little Feat stuff was without it.
Didn't know David Lindley used Dumbles? Not a guitar player alive that doesn't know that.
Lindley all day!
@@VertexEffectsInc check out numb as a statue by Warren Zevon ,,, classic Lindley
@@davidaddington5900 Thanks - I will do that! I love Warren. BTW thanks for the cool videos.
If you plug a klon into a dumble... unspeakable things happen
Doesn't seem to be a typical combo among the overdrive amps.
@@VertexEffectsInc i wonder why? They seem be made for each other.. a pedal and amp that have both achieved legend status.
Lowell George
For sure, but what was the hit song?
@@VertexEffectsInc not sure of a “hit” song but just wanted to mention Lowell because he was a known early Dumble user :)
@@ashevilleguitar yes, but I don't think it was used on many, if any Little Feat albums...I think it came later in the game maybe before his solo album.
@@VertexEffectsInc There might be a Dumble on Waiting For Columbus ? I wish Lowell was still around so we could just ask him ! :’(
@@ashevilleguitar his band mates are still around - Paul Barrere might know?
Hmmm... the theme from Magnum PI, maybe?
hmmm...how can we verify?
@@VertexEffectsInc and @earle4370 - That's Dan Ferguson. He played on Barney Miller, Rockford Files, and a few others. I read it was either a Yamaha G100-112 amp and/or a Paul Rivera modded Vibrolux. All great, Dumble-y sounds, though.
@@VertexEffectsInc I just googled it... Wikipedia says Larry Carlton played on it... I think I’m getting warmer with my guess.
@@travisgoertz good to know. It does sound Dumbe-y to me.
Dude, stop waving your arms around 😂
Close your eyes ;)
😂
David Lindley used crappy electric guitars which he bought from pawn shops as lapsteels at that stage.
Great way to ruin the look of a really nice guitar is to NOT trim the strings and leave them curled up on your headstock. LOL. CMON!
That was the highlight of all this for you huh?
@@VertexEffectsInc yes. Yes it was. :D
Cool video but that doesn't sound like a Dumble.
Only way to really know is have a splitter after the guitar and have a Dumble opposite the pedal into the Deluxe Reverb with the same mics and speaker. We have other videos that explicitly A/B the Ultraphonix Overdrive pedal with a real Dumble ODS - it might be a cool video for you to check out.
@@VertexEffectsInc Alright I will check them out.
@@jamesstewart8054 I think you'll find even if the pedal doesn't sound as good as the Dumble - which no pedal will ever - it's certainly well in the ballpark and used several original Dumble amplifiers to voice it against for accuracy and feel.
@@VertexEffectsIncCan you share a link to this video comparison?
Hahahahaha..... The results of a desperate attempt to put Dumble up there with Rivera. Tell you what...why don't you go and make a list of 'all' the classic top ten hits that featured a Rivera modded Fender amp and then ask yourself why you still think that the Emperor is wearing clothes!
Go and do the same with Mesa Boogie...and then Marshall and Vox, and Fender........... We all know you have something to sell.. Only you don't realise that it is yesterday's news! The great big old Dumble boat sailed off into the sunset over a decade ago!
Where's the desperation? I don't have a dog in the fight - I don't make amps. Nothing in this video is an indictment of Rivera or his amplifiers so I'm not sure how you landed on this idea from the video. If you took any time to look at this channel you can see that we've interviewed Paul Rivera Sr. multiple times and have mega respect for him and his contribution to the pedalboard scene and amplifiers with the Stage II Fender Mods and beyond. In fact, his new Stage IV amp is going to be part of a new video called "The Most Famous Amp You've Never Heard Of" that goes through some of the big hits that used a Rivera modded Fender amp like Michael Jackson, Toto, and more. Dumble may be irrelevant for you, but not our industry generally and pedals and amps modeled after the tones and circuit do very well with many brands. This may not be your preference, but has nothing to do with any commentary on Rivera, Boogie, or otherwise - both can be great sounding amps and used on classic hits and records at the same time - one doesn't disqualify the other.
Still over-rated and not worth the money imo.
How many have you played?
@@VertexEffectsInc Don't need to play one to realize they're over-hyped and over-inflated price wise.
SRV reportedly used one but he also dialed in other amps without it and still sounded like SRV.
The few I heard in person and HAD a chance to play thru sounded muddy to me. Reminds me of when I was "f"ing around and had fuzzface, ts808 and a blues driver all gains turned up....lol...exaggerating that but not far from it imo.
