- Today we have a massive combo for you - a 1959 Burst and a Dumble Overdrive Special! The Les Paul is all original, has a great history and is one fantastic instrument - great sound, excellent playability, and a beautiful look all around. The Overdrive Special we're using today has been modified from a combo to a head and dual cabinet setup, which was tastefully done and looks awesome! We've got Trevor here to tell you all about these two before Aaron Hiebert plugs them in tears it up!
For more information on the guitar or amp, please give us a call as these are not on our website yet!

Perhaps this should have been “pick of the century”. Videos like this are why we use CZcams as a platform. Our ears will thank you for this one 🙇
Right on!🎼
A '59 Les Paul and Dumble OD Special combo sounds fantastic! Especially played over CZcams through Macbook speakers..
Lmao
i was thinking that. i'm sure it sounds killer live, but on video a lot of gear sounds same
🤣 I hit LIKE before I even pressed play! Wasn’t disappointed. Just an awesome combination. 🙏
Me too! Lol
Cheer up mate, go watch some light hearted TV or something to
Improve your mood.
Same haha

No Klon in the chain to complete the trifecta of unattainability?
Klons, in the old box, are still kind of being built and released. Also there are WAY more Klons than Dumbles, though why Dumbles command such prices is beyond me. Theyre not that rare and most of them only sound OK. 10 grand will ply even the best vintage super lead/bass out of a collector's hands and unlike guitars modern amp makers simply make better sounding products :shrug:
@@TCMx3
All models of the Klon are out of production, this includes the KTR and “old box” Centaur. That’s why the originals are reaching unrealistic prices. For a guitar pedal, they are pretty rare.
@@brandonkruse6412 sure they are. the big box centaur has been "out of production" for ages except for all the legitimate, verifiable new ones that kept popping up on ebay for years. either way it doesnt matter, there are more of them out there than the price demands.
but thanks for the history lesson, whether you it's correct or not.
@@TCMx3
The Centaur hasn’t been in production for years and the reason why more keep popping up is because the market demand brought them out. We know the exact amount made, it’s less than 9,000 plus the builder has already said he’s not taking new orders on them.
If anything, we may see more batches of KTRs but they are made so few at a time. There’s obviously a large demand for this circuit for a reason, it’s the best overdrive out there.
If there was more Centaurs on the market than the price demanded, the price wouldn’t be increasing every few months.
@@brandonkruse6412 you are very sure of yourself for someone who is unfamiliar with the basic facts. A small number of new centaurs in the original enclosure have been being made for years and released through a friend of Finnegans. If you want to buy into the market hype more power to you.
There's always a "reason" why doesnt mean it makes sense in the long run. People are paying huge money for 70s Fenders now too despite the fact that there are a bazillion of them and they werent very good, too, and they tow the same line.
This market crashed HARD in 2008 when the last set of optimistic folks got caught with a bunch of stuff that didnt have the fundamentals behind it (while good Fenders, Les Pauls and Marshalls held strong).
When a hundreds of thousend dollar expensive gear sounds a little harsh…
Ikr that "Pzzzzz" sound is killing me.. maybe bad mic placement, or they DI'd it...
…..a little harsh? You are being too kind.
To me it sounds like a 421 or Sm57 just straight on Axis. Out of curiocity I DLed this and did a 24db/oct high cut @ 10khz. Sounds pretty chunky and good! 😅
I didn't want to say anything but,,,Joe B "roll the guitars tone knob back 2" was in my brain. Might have tamed the high gain frazziness.
Sounded great to me.
That's the way I like to hear it. All up in my face! Awesome combo! Excellent Mr. Hiebert!
Thanks Michael! Appreciate it man! Glad you dig it!
Whoever leaned that guitar on that amp and walked away for the shot is an absolute legend / nutcase 😰
It's OK, Les Paul has a very sturdy neck 😄
Geez that sounds awesome! Love the video men, great sound and really cool playing
This video leaves ZERO doubt in my mind that 59 bursts are just as over hyped as Dumbles are.
until you jam with a guy sporting this rig and you feel like a little school girl
@@johnsmith-bk4ps ….45 years playing, and not once did I ever desire THIS particular guitar tone. If I HAD to play alongside someone that sounded like this, I’d pop in a pair of ear plugs pronto.
@@reddsshaker3477 ya but your playing polkas at senior centers. real hard rock bands need this tone
He's plugged into the wrong input
@Sss apples and oranges
TFW: You’re plugged into close to a million bucks worth of gear and you manage to find the absolute antithesis of “The Sweet Spot.”
you think page was worried about that with his burst pegged through his super lead? sweet spot??? doesnt sound like rock to me, you need the Gspot
@@johnsmith-bk4ps that was my point. I’ve not played a Dumble but I’ve always found it much easier to get a good sound than a bad sound through any decent tube amp.
He's plugged into the FET input which no one ever uses really.
Like a Rat with a boost.
Sweet spots dont mix well. All the great recorded guitar tones had flaws and are unimpressive isolated. I hear every great rock record I grew up with in this vid.
❤that was awesome! Riff machine man. Got nice and clean too.
You had me at "1959 Gibson Les Paul and Dumble Overdrive Special". Show me the money!!
What a great time for guitar players....a blackguard and benson yesterday
A 59 paul and a dumble today....it dont get any better
And here i am giggin with my original 1961 Les Paul Jr and 2011 marshall class 5 head with a Vietnam made marshall 1x12 dsl40c combo cab and couldn't be happier with a tumnus mini and boss ds1. Killer rig
6:00 to hear the guitar and amp finally shine.
I love every burst video there is!
Sure, it’s a nice sounding amp, but c’mon. If I had that amp I would sell it to a sucker and buy a room full of Fender Tweeds and Brownies, and a Marshall Super Bass, and a Hiwatt CP103, and some more vintage guitars.
Or, just build it yourself for 1 grand from one of the many Dumble clone kits out there. Then you can buy a bunch of old Fender amps, a house, and the house can have a basement where you can tweak and personalize the amp to get it to sound exactly as you like, just like Howard Dumble did for his customers.
You can go to school and learn how to build a dumble clone for that much money to can get a sound engineering degree
And electronics degree
From some colleges and still have money left for the
Price of a dumble. You can probably get 3 or 4 - 2 year
Degrees on sound engineering , electronics and something else also for amp building 6 years
Or so total form some colleges
Out there probably still have money left also for a dumble amp
@@ItsGiusto Owning a Dumble assumes that you already have a room full of those other amps, and a house to put them in. I don't think there are a lot of guys who own a Dumble and live under a freeway overpass and are playing Chibsons. Even when Dumbles were new, they weren't cheap.
@@PolaOpposite my point is that no one should ever buy a real dumble, and probably not a real version of any other really iconic amp. You can build any amp for 1k. There's nothing magic in Dumble's amps he built, it's the same components anyone can buy
@@ItsGiusto Guys with ultra deep pockets should and do buy them. They are super rare and collectible and relatively speaking they’re as expensive for them as a Fender Mustang is for me. So why not? Same reason rich guys buy real Cobras and GT40s instead of kit versions.
Every single person complaining about the treble in the guitar tone here has never recorded at a professional studio and has probably never properly situated themselves in the mix of a band. This is exactly the kind of tone that would sound monstrous in full mix.
So many bedroom players
And even when gigging
They’re like it doesn’t sound good to me
Then they don’t give af what it sounds like in a mix or live
🤡🤡
Recorded countless times, for many different artists, and not once did any of them ask me to dial up the most blatty flatulent tone I can muster. They usually ask for something….I don’t know….pleasant, musical, focused, urgent, organic…..never, “how about a wet fart through a RAT pedal?”.
@@reddsshaker3477 that would be interesting tho
To the people complaining about the sound coming out what are you hearing? Using just an iphone or computer speakers? headphones are the way to go. It sounds massive. Aaron that was fantastic!
Thanks man!! Definitely a mix of emotions from people haha. Appreciate the comment!! :)
@@aaronhiebert4745 Haha for real. It was awesome. I can only imagine someone was just listening through computer or iphone speakers and it just could not handle all the awesomeness. Big fan of what you do Aaron and super jealous of your collection! Big ups
That particular set up has a lot of energy not just volume but a certain vibe
59 Burst + Dumble + Aaron = WOW
Dude was on fire!!
Thank you!!!!!!
Just needs a klon
@@aaronhiebert4745 How in the world did it feel to play that combo of stuff?
This is pretty much my dream rig.
Good night, Denver!!!!
wow, just wow.
It takes real talent to make something this great sound this aweful
If you spent that cool Mil on a rig, it would "sound" better to YOU. :)
The playing wasn't bad. Maybe the amp is due for servicing.
@@qua7771 yeah it has to be discharged every 200 hours of 80’s metal use. Otherwise it lasts much longer. Dumble didn’t want his gear falling into the hands of Bon Jovi.
@@bojangles6444 Lol, thanks. He did try some bluesy stuff, but yea.
@@qua7771 I am just joking lol. Never heard a Dumble played so aggressively nice to hear a change kinda. Who was this guy George Lynch’s illegitimate child with Warren DeMartinis sister?
I didn't know they were that much of a high gain amp!
I really dont like Dumbles... they are overglorified... just buy a vintage Super Reverb... sounds way better and it's a perfect pedal platform...
We need a blind test - Five amplifiers behind the curtain. Once with a Les Paul, once with a Tele, and once with a Strat. Pick the Dumble. Bing-Bong. 30-years ago I saw the French wine connoisseurs pick 5 of 5 Napa Valley wines they swore were from France.
Howard/Alexander Dumble R. I. P.
Sounds killer and obviously it’s fun to play.
This homie is a SERIOUS player!!!
Loving the new intro❕
That sounded glorious
Aaron, I love your voodoo... this Like's for you!
Dude! Thanks!! :)
It's wonderful!!
Yet another Les Paul video suggestion I thought. Then he starts playing and I am totally floored. What a player! What a great tone! Just absolutely stunning!!!
Oh look, it's two unicorns in the same room.
Well, that guitar demo is incredibly...incredible. All sounds, all positions. Insane. Star spangled banner, Eruption...then this (exagerating a little)
Dream tone!
I’ll take 2 of each. Thanks.
Just put them on my tab.
When you have a ‘59 Burst and a Dumble and decide to do some Judas Priest-esque shredding? There’s a time and place for that, but read the room, man. 😂
the room that peewee herman is headlining? this is a rock rig, check out gary moore and jimmie page. gary moores tone with his burst and soldano was in the same league as this rundown. the guy on this rundown laid it down
@@johnsmith-bk4ps this is a wet fart compared to Gary’s ‘burst through his Soldano. My old Hot Rod 50 would easily smoke this Dumble. We’re not even having this conversation.
@@reddsshaker3477 you lost all credibility with 'easily smoke this dumble'. check out premiere guitars 2018 rundown with joe b, listen to that paul through his dumble, then tell me about your cuircut board hot rod
best one yet guys!! Aaron nailed it!
Well, that was f#cking glorious!!
Sounds exactly like a Les Paul Studio plugged into a Blackstar 40w combo 😂
Yep.
Hey man, I love my Blackstar HT Club 40😂😂
Just sayin
@@christopherjacobs3113 if I had the money for an actual 59 Les Paul I'd track down a Marshall Plexi if I could.
your kidding right? not even close. this rig is one of the best rigs you will ever hear, just completely freakin stellar. best ive heard online through my little computer, love to be in the room with it. mind blowing
Holy hot damn! That’s guitar geek porno of the highest order. And that chunky riffs….outstanding! Well done.
YIKES !!! What a rig !
man... its clearly the guitar.... the man surely can play. Weapon of choice
this video shows that this sweet equipment is not for everyone.
This is the most "Marshall" sounding Dumble I've ever heard. I think the Les Paul sounds incredible, the neck pickup is so clear. In places I actually think it sounds like the original Appetite for destruction recording. And how many guitarists, including Slash, have searched for that tone!
Why isn't this video two hours long? Serious question
Awwsome sounding,
Killer amazing combo. I wonder what 59's are going for now? Can you even grab one anymore for a 160k? Such special Pieces. Keep this up man!!
200 with no flame
There is no one better out there to be demoing this setup. Killer!!!!
Michael Lemmo
The holy grail combo is a Les Paul and a Marshall amp.
And for the rest of us mere mortals who will never see this stuff….
Aaron just melted my iPad!
👍🇦🇺
Hahaha! ;) Thanks man!
@@aaronhiebert4745
Seriously young fella!
Use those super powers for good, not evil!
👍🇦🇺
Wish I could go back in time and ask the guys making those guitars what they think of how much the value has increased over 60+ years.
The style was art deco in the 50's. The LP was too traditional looking for rock music of that era. Then things got all psychedelic in the 60's.
I wish I would have bought 5 of them but I was 2 yrs old and they wouldn't take apple sauce for payment.
That ROAR when u hit the E major chord!
i know! i was shocked hearing this rig. i want that amp!!!
There's a saying "once you've played the real Macoy you'll never be satisfied with your forgery". But, with this spectacular Emerald City video I say, "Once I've head the real Macoy, any Ole inexpensive copy will suffice" provided decent pickups and amp. Anyway, enough Gibson customers must feel the same, enough to have turned LPs into a billion dollar enterprise
May favourite part about this channel is that the demos are all about the CHOPS
Gotta drop by Emerald City - not just for the guitars but also to have one of the protein shakes Jay and Trevor have been drinking - Dad and son are looking extra jacked.
Awesome tone, and killer playing mate!...
Legend!
this is definitely the nicest rig that "cold hard bitch" has ever been played through
Aaron! I hope they pay you handsomely for your demonstrations on these iconic guitars and amps. Or maybe like me, I’d just to get my hands on these and experience what the guitar world admits are the best examples of craftsmanship on the planet. You are possessed by this combo I know this because I have ears! Holy S*€t…✌️❤️
Thanks John!! This rig was mind blowing! 59 Burst and a Dumble.... Woah! Haha. Too much fun! Thanks again!! Appreciate the kind words!
sounds as good as my 59' Melody Maker through my Mesa... he who wields the instrument controls the noise. wish i could afford it.
It Reeks attention overdriven by the sweetness of sound!! Bite down hard!!
Imagine getting the chance to play a 59 burst into an early Dumble ODS and you blow it by plugging into the FET input for the whole session.
nikonmikon - Using the FET input heavily isn’t going going to blow it. Where did you hear that would happen.
@@cirenosnor5768 i didn't mean blow the amp, i meant blow the opportunity
nikonmikon - Got it - lol
@@cirenosnor5768 but to be fair I've since heard from people that it's not that bad to use the FET input on dumbles so i suppose i stand corrected
@Tong Zou Yeah I think my initial comment was a bit stupid. We live and learn over time :)
are there any particular pickups on the market that sound like it?
That guitar!
That open G chord sounds nuts
Wow!!!
Soon to be residing in Nerdville.
Dingley Village represent. If you know you know !
Wow! What a tone and great playing!
Did they mention what speakers are in those cabs?
Awesome. Did you seriously lean the guitar horizontally against the amp by its headstock? At 7:45… 😮
Sounds great. Not everything has to sound like there’s 20 blankets and an inch of cement over the speaker cabinet like a set of Seymour Duncans into a Friedman. I miss the days when music gear included treble and mid frequencies. Lol
Wow, a lot of negative comments. I have actually been dying to hear if these amps could play hard rock or metal, and for the most part every video has them playing jazz fusion lite or some tame and tidy blues, it's actually left me screaming turn that overdrive knob all the way up! It is called an Overdrive Special after all. I don't believe Howard Dumble built his amps to be limited to blues or jazz.
Nice intro
I've heard this combo before and hoped I wouldn't be as disappointed as I was last time, but alas it sucked again. The 59 Les Paul loves the Plexi the jtm45 the jcm800 it doesn't want to be with a dumble. It loved it's husband and true love marshall
It doesn’t want to play scale exercises from the 80’s. That’s like using a Jackson to play BB King. People need to learn to follow the impulse it’s not nearly as fun as it sound.to the player.
The old amp may have not been serviced in a while. I think any kid in guitar center should be able to get a decent tone from this rig. Maybe it has a blown speaker. IDK.
@@qua7771 lol he may have just blown the speaker. It wasn’t ready to be unleashed into 1989. That guy is totally trolling everyone, that or he doesn’t know what a Dumble is.
@@bojangles6444 I came here to see if it is a circuit I would want to replicate. Every other video I have seen has been done with single coils. I'm not a metal head, but the tone I'm hearing here is not my thing for any genre. I'll stick with a plexi.
@@qua7771 replicate as in build by hand or model on a computer? The best replica I have ever seen doesn’t have 1 video on CZcams. The builder wiped its existence off the net Bc of the fraud involved with getting the money to build it.
Soooooo much treble. Realizing both of these are investments more than instruments, I still think I’d made other choices with my half-a-million-dollars in gear.
Sounds a tad bright through that amp. Be interesting to hear it through a Marshall Super Lead. Great player.
Enjoyed the video and playing, but, from the last couple Dumble videos, considering the mystique, I'm under whelmed. That sure is a nice Les Paul though.
seeing the thumbnail
I'm like: "woah dumble on a shop??" lmao
I am curious if someone walked in with a suitcase full of cash, would that combo actually be for sale? I have my doubts.
Not that I have that kind of money, but having that guitar in the shop probably draws a lot of customers in and getting another one would be a tall order.
I mean… it’s not bad most is hype tho
I thought it sounded incredible and the playing was off the charts!
This sound, this fu..ing sound!!! Which speakers are there in the cabinet?
The perfect “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it,” combination. By the way, I can’t afford it….
Just my opinion, amplifiers are one thing where modern technology is miles ahead of most vintage examples. Dumble’s reputation was made in the 70s and 80s by a handful of players and the price is driven by their scarcity. That Les Paul would sound better through any number of off the shelf, production line amplifiers made today.
ya why have vanilla ice cream when there are so many better flavors
"Cold Hard Bitch" - Jet
Some long sustaining overdrive notes on each of the pick up selections would’ve been nice. Also some variations on guitar volume pots.
Never heard a Dumble being pushed that hard, crazy rock machine!!! What are the tubes inside??
The best, lot of money!
dogg you really gonna plug into the FET input damn
Don’t get me wrong, this sounds great.
But I feel like a les Paul through a good Marshall gets you the same sound for a lot cheaper. Great playing, though!
Lol a LOT cheaper
It doesn't. Gets you BETTER sound.
Dude I don’t see any proof of it being plugged in . Lol
One hell of a tone!🤘
When regarding these amps people say they have an amazing amount of "head room."
Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does that mean?
This video did nothing for this guitar or amp. Every les paul sounds like this with gain. Cleans and mild gain is where a burst shows its value
As the owner of a ‘58 and several D-style clones amongst many classic / boutique amps, I regretfully have to agree. Nice playing, harsh sound.
But its "literally super good" what a waste of a great guitar review.
nah you dont get it a burst doesnt shine with some fool playing 1-4-5- chords, its meant to be cranked and also dialed to a whisper and everything in between, ever hear gary moore? as the owner of a real burst and a 50 watt dumble i experience what most people on this thread never have or will.
the tone of this 'pick of the day' guitar and amp is off the charts, even through my computer, its the best sounding rig ive heard through my computer. thats a million dollar tone. you can buy 50 amps with the money and youl have 80 percent of this tone 100 percent of the time. you choose.
@@thebobandramonshow is there a clip you can recomend that sounds better? harsh?
@@johnsmith-bk4ps The rig in this video might sound good recorded with some eq and reverb, but that’s not its point. What I look for in a ‘burst is sweetness and this doesn’t have too much of that despite the nice playing. Putting my money where my mouth is, there’s a clip I made some time back with my ‘burst on my channel - rockbeareguitars (I can’t paste a link here 😡). Not through a “Dumble” but a 633, modern high-end British amp. My “Dumbles” sound even sweeter. I guess it’s a matter of taste but I wouldn’t pay almost half a million for a rig that sounded like it cost £5k.
I wish I could say :¨one day¨
I think it sounds righteous
Very nice indeed. My mind instantly wonders how I can get that tone spending much less money. Possible? Can get close.
Every guitar deserves 4 knobs. That is all it takes to get THAT tone. Through any amp. Look for 'woman' tone. Clapton
Ceriatone amps do a clone of this and it’s fantastic!
