Good podcast, that was Alexander. Richard really understood him, all very true.

Cool video, I had the same experience with that BF Deluxe at Dumble's house. I played it and fell in love with it, I had to have one. Alexander said "find a donor amp and I make you one". I found one, he built it and it's my favorite amp. I have a few other ones he made me since, but that little Del...

Here is the 2x10 cabinet

I own a 2x10 cabinet from Dumble. I ordered it together with my Ultraphonix Bandmaster.

Good info on this threads. So if HAD can make anything sound good (including modding new production Fenders), is often using new transformers and there's questionable mojo in old pots than really why is HAD choosing to use old Fenders/Marshalls as donor amps instead of using repro chassis and new p...

All I can say is... You lucky mothaf$%#er.

JK. Very cool, man. How long ago did that take place?[/quote]

Yep, I consider myself very lucky.
I took delivery in 2009 and 2011

Actually, I think Howard is churning out amps more frequently than people think. Correct. One would be very surprised how many famous people play Fenders and Marshalls which are rebuilt by Dumble BTW, both of my amps (BF Fender amps) Alexander gutted completely and rebuilt them new. C. It's just pl...

Nice clips Mac Daddy, thanks. Love the ones with Red Volkaert, looks like he really enjoyed the amp.
The Rock Phonix and the Ultra Phonix amps were always my favorite ones from Dumble.

Did it sound heavenly? :) Apparently Robben had one in the studio. From Robben's tech Daved: "Here is an exact quote from Alexander when I mentioned the continued interest in the Angel's Breath amp to him yesterday:" ""The best thing to tell the fans about the Angel's Breath amps is that they will ...

like Kenny Wayne Shepard
may have one

KWS's Tweed is a Tweedle Dee. There is only one Angels Breath amp Alexander made and he still has it.

I wonder if HAD still builds any ODS amps?

Yes he does.

qtone, sorry that I upset you so much, that was not my intent.
I just never had bad dealings with A. Dumble, he was always very professional with me and also with friends of mine.

Merry Christmas

My Ultraphonix amps have what he calls deep dish tremolo, they use the opto bug.

qtone, these stories don't reflect how I know Alexander. Yes, I believe he didn't tell any tech how to fix the SSS. He wouldn't trust anyone to fix his amps. But Eric going through Bruton must be a tale. Eric had one of his amp at Alexanders a few month ago for service. They talk, Eric doesn't need ...
