- A Mystic Blues guitar amp by Tommy Cougar Amps is played through a Marshall 1x12 (model 1933) with an ElectroVoice EVM12L speaker in it. I'm using a Gibson Les Paul 1959 Reissue.
Johan you are very real and honest in your reviews. Thanks for giving us these videos and making my day. I live vicariously through you. Thanks!
I love the smoothness and clarity of that amp. Wonderful tone.
Thanks Bill!
Its got a clarity yet sustain. Very nice a different "Animal"
The thing about Dumbles that doesn't come across in a video and I think most people don't get, is that it sounds and feels like you just put new strings on your guitar even if you didn't. They are super flexible and therefore take some time to live with and dial in and every one is different. The fabulous clean tone often gets overlooked too. A whole different animal than what our classic rock ears are trained to.
You look as you had tons of fun. That's what its about. Really cool sounds come from a good player, thanks for all those cool sounds.
Thanks, I did indeed! Cheers
Some beautiful tones and playing there Johan!
Thanks Bob!
One of your best videos you've ever done, that was awesome!
Thanks Ron, So good to hear that! Cheers
This sounds fantastic! Great work Johan, nice playing as usual.
Thanks Matt! Glad to hear it!
I loved your tone and touch on that snippet of Cavatina, Johan. Beautiful!
Thanks Gary! Glad to hear that!
Very nice tones and of course your playing showcases them well.
Thanks Steven! Great to Hear That!
Nice juicy organic tones there Johan. Really cool visual effects too! I thought that was pretty kewl indeed. Great video as always
Thanks man, great to hear that!
I've only played the Fuchs ODS, but it's my favorite style of amp by far. And so versatile!
Andy really knows how to build an awesome sounding amp.
Yeah !! Great sound ! I love it ! Amazing sound and you know how make it sing ! 👍
Thanks Jack!
WOW! ... what an amp!
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thanks Matze!
Bejayzus, this is gonna take some beating mate! Gorgeous tones and response, great playing, cheers Johan, best regards,🆑ive 🎸🎶✊✌
Thanks man, glad to hear that!
That's a sweet amp and Great demonstration! Be Well Johan!
Glad to hear it! You too man!
That ending...your guitar looks and sounds so cool!
Ooooh. Like that. The slight feedback on those almost clean sounding slide notes, totally controllable. The bridge pickup sounds quite fat at high gain towards the end, such a nice sound no harshness. Great video Johan, like the trippy effects too.
Thanks Andy! :-)
Beautiful cleanish tones around 4:47 Johan. Thanks for the demo
I dig it. I haven't ever been in a room with a Dumble, let alone played one, but there are a lot of useful and sweet tones in there. Everything from nice cleans and pushed cleans to almost Mesa-like drive. It seemed like it was very touch sensitive, with grit available if you started to dig in, but a lot of note clarity if you picked gently. You could tell you were enjoying yourself, because you jumped right off the well-trodden path and were playing some stuff we don't often hear from you. Nice job.
Thanks man, yeah I had a great time!
i've seen Robben playing the Dumble and at times when he's on fire that amp + his amazing hands blends it all into an amazing collage of harmonically rich cascading sound. I doubt most mere mortals could benefit from it. I'm happy with the sound of my Carr... ;-)
🌞 beautiful!
Liked the sound of that thing.
Thanks, glad to hear that!
Man that sounds great, although you manage to wring some pretty awesome tones out of whatever you play this one just had such a great raunchy energy to it when you let rip. I want one 😁🤘
Thanks man! :-)
I’m not sure about the Dumble approach, but that doesn’t really matters to me. This thing can stand up for itself. It sounds to me, more like a grown up Bassman.
That amp can the builder be really f’ing proud of. It sounds amazing.
The dynamics, the clarity, the warm but yet harsh character and the way it compress, but still holds tone, is incredible. I’ll bet it would cut through a mix like a knife through meltet butter.
I would put that machine in my flow without looking back.
I would love to hear the amp with a tele and strat. It passes the Gibson test.
What a great video, Johan. You’re the best...
Thanks! I’m really glad to her that! I’ll keep the Fenders in mind!
Legend has it that Dumble was inspired by Robben Ford playing through a '65 or so (?) Blackface Bassman.
Hello Johan, great sounding amp! I built a Ceriatone HRM Dumle Clone and just love it. Probably too advanced for my first build but, it works great. The Dumles have a nice clean and a verty "creamy" sounding overdrive. Love the sounds you're getting from this one. As always a very nice video my friend! Cheers.
Like a Firearm, a Paint Brush a Guitar or an Amplifier, they are all tools and the real magic that may happen is due to the individual, what they have in their heart/soul and what they can do with their hands.
Great sounding amplifier Johan, and if anybody would know a good amp when they play it that would be You.
Great, great explanation concerning distortion, out of control and what the limitations are concerning different amplifiers.
Thank You for sharing this with all of us.
I really enjoyed this demo. Thanks Johan. Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Glad to hear it, Cheers!
Those video filters at the end were awesome! You should totally do that more. Great sounding amp too!
Thanks Johnny, glad to hear that! I will!
Great sound! Also enjoyed when the acid kicked in at 9:30 lol
The clean sound was amazing.
Thanks John!
Wonderful
I played a locally built Dumble couple years ago, absolutely beautiful sound, feedback was amazing too...this amp reminds me of that Amp. The sound surrounded you instead of in your face. I've ordered a clone from Ceriatone, can't wait... Great vids btw
One thing I find absolutely amazing about Dumble and its clones is the way they compress. I tried playing metal through a Ceriatone OTS 100 and to be honest it requires no compression in the post processing phase to sound good.
It has a mid-range that's surprisingly tight, but at the same time it has overtones that make it sound big. It sounds on your face and surrounds you all at the same time. Here's the clip I recorded with it.
ua-cam.com/video/b9LVEkbhJPY/v-deo.html
@@TheNocturnalEvil I fukn love it dude! That's sounded killer\,,/ ... My OTS 20 arrived 3 months ago now and it's truly inspiring to play it.. I gig it as much as possible lol. My 100w Leviathan gets to do all the Metal gigs and rehearsals. I put a Dumbler pedal and a steel Stringer pedal out front of Leviathan clean channel, sound wise was pretty be close to the OTS 20 but that 'feel' of a D style amp cannot be copped from a pedal ... Nik and Team Ceriatone build incredible amps!
I might be ordering a 100w OTS model at some stage, 🤞cool video mate, cheers 😉
Cool amp nice tone ! 👍😍
Thanks Mitchell! Glad you like it!
Not bad this amp, Johan, great tone. The amp have a smooth Ton but the amp reacts good .( Picking/ Volume). Super Video, super playing, Johan. I must have this amp.😀😉🎸🎤🎹🎵🎼
Thanks Klaus! Glad to hear it! :-)
Klaus Russwurm dein englisch ist kacke
Thanks my friend, Cheers !!!
Cheers my friend!
Amazing!
I have a ceriatone OTS the ford clone and love it .something about the feel and the dynamics that i dont get from other amps. Over all round full sound. Once adjusting the eq you can get lots of sounds similiar to other classic amps.
Thanks Guy!
what an incredible sounding amp. Could you please do a comparison video of the vox ad120vt or tonelab dumble setting
so many sounds but since Ive herd so many DUmbles and this sounds close but not close enough maybe 90% like the 300 dollar clone pedals I like it and it is unique thank you for sharing it great job as usual Jo
I can hear some Rolling Stones in the tones.... Reminds me of how Soldano amps "breath" a special way ... Has a certain air between things ... The cadence is very touch sensitive
Thanks Jason
Nice tones. Bet this would make a great studio amp.
Seems to have amaizng dynamics and a certain "air" to it, however, I'm more into clean tones, so I can't pass clear judgment based on this demo. You did play some clean tones, but I'd have it setup differently- just a matter of personal taste, really.
As far as the build goes, Tommy is great. Heard really good things from friends and Nik plays one on his channel sometimes.
Laslo, from SL Amps, makes a kickass (and well priced) SSS clone, if you're interested. Big, fat, mesmerizing cleans... And he's just around the corner...
Great upload, Johan.
Cheers
Thanks Ricardo, I’ll check out SL!
I love it! Thick, thick mids. I want one!
Glad to hear it! :-)
Lots of different styles for sure and they all sounded great. You should buy this amp, it seems to inspire you, to spark your creativity. Bravo.
Thanks! I’m afraid the owner wouldn’t dream of selling it :-)
Well I know that Robben Ford has listed on Reverb his Dumble serviced 1966 Fender Super Reverb. Only 15000 USD. 😂 But none of his Dumble amps. Anyway, great episode.
Ha ! I knew, that sooner or later, YOU would come up with a kind of Dumble "Let's go" ! I really enjoy that review. I love Your style and I think that this 'Mystic Blues' really widens Your musical tonality. So this seems to be a very fine amp in the Welagen / Bludotone range. I feel that these modern 'Dumble Clones' are all more versatile than the original HAD amps. The Tone Book, HAD started to write in the late 70ties to early 90ties is even more interesting in my opinion in its recent Part II with its creative alternative authors. Tommy Cougar is, of course, one of them.
Sweet amp & nice playing Johan. I played a Dumble ODS combo once, 25-ish years ago. Sounded amazing in ways words can't describe. Covered in orange tolex, with the diamond grillecloth. It was for sale in a small, but awesome shop called Guitar Exchange near Baltimore. Was priced at $5,000, which was CRAZY money for an amp in 1994. (& yes, I knew about Dumbles). Proof of that is: I was picking up the monster Mesa/Boogie rig I ordered thru the shop; a Triaxis preamp, with Abacus footswitch + a Strategy 500 Stereo power-amp + a Halfback 4-12 cab loaded with EVM 12L's - all for $1,500 Less than the Dumble !! Still, I was tempted by the Dumble because of the rarity, but drove home happily without it because I had a trunk full of sonic devastation. \m/ Next day I woke up thinking about the Dumble. Called the shop right after opening to say I'd be back to buy it.., only to be told someone walked in just after I left the previous day & bought it. I wasn't too bummed about it Then, but knowing what that amp is worth nowadays is soul crushing in retrospect. At least I got to see/touch/play/hear a Dumble, right? Not that the experience is worth $100,000+ like the amp is, arrgh!
Thanks Byron! I feel your pain man ;-) But you got a nice rig too. Do you still have the cab?
Yeah, I still have that whole M/B rig. Dumble would have been a much better 'investment', but that's not the reason I buy gear.
I don't know what compression does, but the tone in this video made me think about it.
It's like that the more silent parts in the playing are loud and clear too.
I kinda like it, but it's close to being to perfect for my taste.
Thanks for the great work
johan you are the big star.
Thanks my friend :-)
WoW what a diverse amp ...it really likes the soft touch and extends the tones all by itself! ...think Robben Ford the true champion of the Dumble would approve ...luv'd the film soundbite interludes of 'Love Story' and the 'Deer Hunter'..strange how tones can change your playing...as always cool tones
Thanks Gerry! :-)
Hi Johan, nice video. Another amp that has a super lead inside and doesn't know it : ) I Loved that rendition of Cavatina it was halfway between the John Willams and the Hank Marvin version. Cheers.
Thanks Jorge! ;-) Cheers
@@JohanSegeborn What's the other tune you play near the end of the video, I know it but can't remember the name, I've been lookin' on you tube but can't find it, damn! : )
I can see your smile 👍
:-) 🤟
This sounds awesome. The Fuch's ODS is another good one.
Thanks!
Wow, even on my laptop speakers the instant you started playing I was blown away by the tone. Ok Johan make the video where you split the guitar signal into all of the grail amps at the same time!
Hahaha! That would be as vulgar as it would be wonderful :-)
Amazing dynamics and control. Fumbles do have like a special overtone that no other amp can seem to make. I really preferred the clean to low gain tones here. I love how it will just go into feedback so perfectly with very little audible gain.
Would like to hear it through different cabs like, per Se, a 1970s greenback cab.
Thanks, that can definitely be arranged too later on. Cheers
Very sweet gonna sell a lot of those
Dumble ODS style amp according to every experienced user of the amp, it will take a lot of time to really dig in the wonders of the amp. It's not a go-to plug and play amp. It's a personal amp should i say. The dynamic range of this amp is really good. I love Johan have test this one out. It's a different kind of amp. While there's another style of Dumble amp that is so famous, the SSS which is known for loud clean amp.
Thanks M T!
Great tone, and I got the impression this amp wasn't even breathing hard. Other demos give me the sense the cabinet is just moments away from vibrating itself apart.
Thanks, it was probably 115-120dB though. Cheers
Those EV speakers really let that amp sing! The natural compression is Awesome stuff! Thanks
Thanks Mikel! Yeah they work great together!
You haven’t been in my feed in weeks finally showed back up. Really love the sound of this amp. Is this guy still building and does he have a website? I don’t mind clone builders I have a dc30 clone and it is unreal. Built at home. Everyone that plugs in can’t believe clones can be that dynamic. Lovely amp your guy built Johan!
This sounds cool but I’ll take a Marshall any day of the week. I guess I’m not in love with most of the players that are known for the Dumble sound. I love your videos and great playing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Chris, glad to hear it!
Yeah, I agree 100%, I too will stick with my little 1987x and 2x12" cab. It's what I've mostly been playing lately and I'm only scratching the surface with what my amp can do.
Couldn't agree more Chris, just keep the Marshalls coming!
BTW love you playing Cavatina
That is a really sweet amp l Iike it
I reckon you could make a can full of nail's sound sweet miked up of course
Thanks my friend ;-)
Sounds Great as always Johan. Maybe a demo with a Strat would be cool..Considering most people know Dumbles from SRV. Skal!
Thanks, I’ll try to do that too
Whoa nice 👌👍 Johan. Good amp. Did I see a DiMarzio in the bridge???! Good overdrive. Sweet finger picking on rhythm..well done!!
Thanks man, glad to hear it! It’s got a Wizz Premium Clone PAF in the bridge! Cheers
@@JohanSegeborn how do you like the Wizz premium clone? I have a set I have yet to drop into something.
Wow!
Hello your playing is great I wish that I could play like you.tha amplifier sounds great.it has the great Dumble tones.i have a lab l3 with a electrovoice evm 12l and it sounds great also.im going to put evm 12l speakers in my l5 also.peace
Thanks my friend! Very much of this cones from the EV speaker.
Thanks Johan, think much of that tone is characterized by the transformers used. Sounds great.
Thanks yeah the OT is always the main component. I think Dumble often used vibrates Trafos. Don’t know about this Cougar though.
Great playing! When I think of Dumble ODS tones I think of 80s TV show theme music, like Beverly Hills 90210. I prefer the Steel String Singer D-style tones. This sounded sweet though. All those 80s sounds were probably over-produced.
I love the tone. Like a cool Vox chime on the clean then the really cool compressed almost Mesa distortion. I looked at building one for myself not too long ago. Seems like a throw all your pedals away type amp. Thanks for the video Johan! Love your channel brother!
Thanks, great to hear that. Cheers Brother!
I've got an MXR "Shin-Juku Drive" D-style overdrive pedal that sounds real similar... they really shelf a lot of the bass frequencies. I doubled the value of the coupling capacitor in my pedal to get more bass... I prefer it that way.
Cool animated effect at the end😁👍🏻
Thanks man! :-)
@@JohanSegeborn Curious to know what Video editing software you use Johan ?
Thx 😎
Johan's playing is making the amp sound good, more than the amp making Johan sound good.
That’s kind of you :-) Cheers
Would love to see Tele, Strat and 335/355 versions of this.
Great demo! I wish, there was a G12-65 in there as well. For the sake of comparison.
Pretty rad amp. Definitely versatile, dynamics are great. Fat mids for sure. It’s definitely different and original. I can see why some people like it and others are kinda “meh, don’t see what all the fuzz is about”. I’m kinda some where in between. Great amp and different but I personally don’t think the “Dumble” tone is god-like as some folks claim. Great video, really enjoyed this.
Thanks Mike!
Sounds great! Any chance of hearing a blended tone with your Marshall setup? I think the two would complement each other quite a bit.
WOW! That thing wails.
Thanks Alan! :-)
Den här förstärkaren verkar ha ett väldigt speciellt ”tryck” i diskant och övre mellanregister, ett in-your-face-ljud som lite otippat kommer fram särskilt fint i rent/halvrent ljud, t ex under Cavatina-plock.
Tippar på att ovaxade mickar gör sitt till. Eller så är det bara högt :)
Mycket njutbart i alla fall. Bra intrimmat av Cougar.
Thanks John : )
Cheers
I played a Two Rock, a couple of Fuchs and I own a Mesa MkII (which some people called a poor man's Dumble but I wouldn't). I'll say that D style amps have a "thing" about them; they have a fast responding, mid-focused, dynamic sound that's both clear and compressed at the same time but it's not overly compressed in the way a Fender will if driven into overdrive. I found if you're a legato player or someone that plays with long, lyrical passages then they're probably great amps but given my experience with a Two Rock I concluded that I don't play in a way that I'd be able to get the best out that style of amp.
Sounds great. A link in the description to the amp supplier would be helpful. Many thanks.
Thanks, www.custombycougar.com
Grymt bra! Jag älskar tonen så inåt helskotta, men bäst är nog egentligen den sjuka dynamiken man har med den typen av förstärkare med anslag och volymskruv på gitarren. Säg till om du är i Karlstad-trakten nån gång och vill testköra en Two-Rock Custom Reverb Signature v2 från 2008 med matchande TR 212. ✌️
Tackar så mycket, Björn! Det gör jag väldigt gärna!
amazing tone!!
what's a 59reissue Les Paul pickups??
Thanks! It’s got a Wizz Premium Clone PAF in the bridge and a Burstbucker 1 in the neck
Everytime I've heard a Dumble ( only through headphones ) it seems to have an underlying ring to the notes that I haven't heard in any other amp . I imagine standing next to a real one must be awe inspiring .
Yeah, there’s a breakup that gives the impression of the air being electrical around the amp.
@@JohanSegeborn Yes ! Like more Surround Sound than 2D .👍
Yeah, it's the Flugelhorn Midrange and the thick, rich, and elastic overdriven tone. Hehe ((:
John Williams' "Cavatina" (aka theme from Deer Hunter) - nice.
Love this guy . Needs his own moody detective show. Each episode he investigates a tone homocide. Much of the time we see him driving through snow in a volvo or stood over a crimescene in full hasmat shaking his head at a kramer focus rammed into the side of a vox a c 30 or something equally shocking
I think it was a good sound. I wonder what the price is?
Johan, have you had the chance to check out an SLO? Curious what you'd think of it.
I haven’t yet actually, but I hope to soon!
those mids doe! it's like full frequency mid range, is that a thing? it is now i guess!
Thanks! ;-)
Can someone explain to me why this is such a sought-after tone? I mean it's not bad, but it doesn't sound like anything I couldn't get out of my Peavey Bandit, Marshall Valvestate or Blackstar ID TVP.
Just an update, turns out my grey stripe Peavey Bandit gets really close on the classic gain mode through the low gain port.
Totally agree, not impressed st all, average at best
Compare it to a cranked Fender Twin with a Klon in front of it?
That rig would certainly do a great job too
A genuine Dumble OD is for sale at a Nashville music store for the low, low price of $90k! What a steal!
What a separation of frequencies, Johan. Are KT66 being used as output tubes? Last but least; it sounded so clear even a little overdriven. Tak Johan. God weekend. 🎸🎶
Thanks Steffen! It’s got 6L6 tubes. Trevlig helg!!
Sounded awesome, but most of that is you and your playing. I use my Firehawk FX with a Dumble OD patch most of the time when I play. It sounds very similar to this and is very versatile with some of the gain dialed back a bit. Then it can really snarl with a tube screamer in front of it. I love how the camera was vibrating from the SPL! I can't enjoy that type of volume when I play out, but it sure is fun when you can! Loved the cool lens filter effect at the end. God bless and have a great weekend.
Thanks J, great to hear that. You have a nice weekend too!
Cavatina 👍👍 bra Johan
Tackar! :-)
i still have to understand the dumble hype. i still have to play one though. is it the dynamics when playing? going just by sound, i would prefer a jcm 800. sounds not as even, more dangerous or something (i am bad with these explanations)
nice playing though :)
Thanks Vappo! I think these amps allows for much more picking sensitivity so it would benefit from me getting used to that. Cheers
@@JohanSegeborn i see. so it really is a thing for the player. i have a marshall 1974x, which is insanely picking sensitive. might actually check a dumble clone in comparison. probably a two rock. cheers
Gorgeous tones. First time I heard about Dumble amps was on a Robben Ford album. Very articulate yet able to jump right into overdrive. Beautiful Johan.
Thanks, glad to hear that!
Also, how did you make that posterizing visual effect at the end?
It’s two of the standard transitions in Final Cut Pro X and the comic cool effect
hi , is there a schematic of this amp?
Dumble amps are insanely expensive in the U.S. He is known for being able to build a custom amp to customer specs very well (create their desired tone). So the overdrive specials floating around are all somewhat different. This amp does a Dumble tone very well!
Thanks John, it’s great to hear that!
If you can even get Dumble to build you one, he decides who he builds for.
Magic is in the Wizz Johan ;-)
Those are great pickups indeed
