- I Converted my Blues Deluxe Reissue to a Dumble Overdrive Special Clone with a Warehouse ET65 speaker (amzn.to/3bAxG3u) and in this video, I go through the guitar amp build process and do a demo of the dumble clone.
What I have now with this guitar amp build is basically a 50watt version of Dumble 102. I used a PCB instead of the standard eyelet board construction so it was a fairly quick build.
The clean sound is fantastic and the overdrive is exactly what you expect out of these dumble style amps. In this video, I really don't dial in an extreme overdrive but it still sings and sounds amazing.
This is my third time building a clone of a Dumble Overdrive Special and each one really has its own voice.
If you are building a guitar amp and watching this video for ideas then please do some safety research on your own.
The original Dumble 102 was built for Robben Ford and it's a 100-watt amp. My other 102 clone is 100 watts paired with an EV speaker and it has a bit more clean headroom than this 50-watt version with the warehouse ET65
WOW, this is professional work with pro results. The sound is amazing. Very impressive. You can build any amp you want. Very impressive.
Definitely has "The Sound"! Very impressive work, and great playing too!
Thanx for sharing. Time to mod my 95 blues deville.
Why in the hell don't you have more subscribers, they are all missing out
Thanks!! I'm working on it :D
Sounds great! Wonderful even!!! I've not heard of the Dumble Overdrive Special Clone before. looks like I need to look into this further!
Sounds beautiful. Great job. I'd definitly buy one.
Oh man! Came here for the amp, stayed for the as-50! I have the same guitar
The 102's clean may be the best jazz amp tone ever. Despite Robben Ford and Howard Dumble's notoriety, this particular circuit is also possibly gear head's best kept secret.
That is so true! The 102 cleans are luscious.... deep and big yet still crystal clear.
We should pair up and build more and sell some
Nice work! considering buying one. ... twist your wires coming out of your power supply... and others. it's good practice against unwanted noise, it it looks nice.
Do you have anywhere where you have all the info including where someone like me could find all the parts needed to make this exact clone?
awesome job.....sounds awesome.....
I'm converting one to a 5f6a plexi mix. I was pretty disappointed with the original build quality of the pc board.. very low quality. No wonder they have so many issiues. And what a harsh sound.
Great job dude! I need to get into the Dumble thing more the sound is there.
Yeah it's definitely a great balance between beautiful clean and a killer overdrive tone. Thanks very much!
can you share the link where to purchase the PCB board
Sounds killer, great job! Where should I begin if I want to start learning to build amps, pedals, electrical, etc?
Once again nice work! I read a bit about the Robben Ford #102 and it seems that it was modified/upgraded as time went on. Did you do the early "green light" version? Or the design in the thread #102 Robben Ford Amp (High Plate Skyline) at The Amp Garage?
Nicely done.
Good to see You smile at the end. Where did You buy the cuircit board? Is that something that could find its way over to london?
Remember the four first letters in the name, now you have it.
I always called him Dumb Bell
Did you have to source the parts yourself or is there a full kit that covers that, I know the PCB is attainable, but is this a kit for someone not experienced? And just for fun, what kind of investment?
I tried the C Rex in my modded Blues Jr and went back to the Celestion V-Type 70 Watt. It sounded so much better and had that in your face attitude.
yeah nothing against the C Rex but I haven't found anything I just loved it in
well done! sounds great!
Thanks a lot!
Wow!
Where did you get the board?
NICE
Search here for (Rockcandy Live In Toronto 1988). Enjoy the show!!!
Dude!
How much did this conversion cost? I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe I was wanting to hot rod, but think a conversion like this might be better
Do the conversion! I play mine at about half of my gigs and it really sings. It's been a while now and I'm not exactly sure, but I think for the board, sockets, and components you are looking at around $300. The donor amp gives you the most expensive parts of a build.
Nice. I actually got the amp for free from a co worker because it wasn't working, but changed the main filter caps and new tubes and it was working again. What tubes do you have to use with this conversion?
Hey the hot rod fenders are built junky but rebuilding like this is great!! I like the modular approach too! Maybe some low grab thread lock on the screw connecters?? A tube amp combo is a harsh environment whole lot of shaken and vibrating going on!! Cool project!
Hey man what's the mode of that Ibanez? I see it in a bunch of your videos and I love it man
Thanks so much!! The guitar is a 1981 AS-50... really great guitars.
I never got an answer back but are you able to share where you got the board? Or are willing to sell this amp?
You can find everything you need to know on amp garage... I am not planning on selling it at the moment.
It's a double clone except for five things that it's not
