You bet!

Based on my own experience IMO at least the original 4th generation "classic" Dumble ODS amps do the real "Heavy" stuff as well as Blues or Jazz or Country or classic Rock. As you will perhaps know many of the original 4th generation Dumble ODS amps have been ordered and used by studio players who have no use for a one trick pony. But of course you have to know how to set them up for some "Heavy" tones.

If you should like these tones then you'll find an explanation how to dial them in in the first minutes of this video and perhaps you’ll get an impression why the "deep" switch is called the "deep" switch, too.

And BTW: What you hear in this video is just the beginning of the "shred-tones" of such a 4th generation "classic" ODS and not the end of its gain realm. Believe me! This is one of the reasons why I am a fan of the "classic" ODS amps with a "deep" switch. Really versatile amps they are IMO. I have lots of fun playing one of these "classic" ODS amp in its "high gain mode" with an active Bartolini ES-1 at the bridge as an example. And if you'll go for "shred" then don’t forget:

"The secret control on the Overdrive's panel section is the ratio control, which controls how much overdrive is fed back into the circuit. If you turn that up, it's Rock City." (Alexander Dumble in Guitar Player Magazine – September 1985).

Just try this with a 4th generation "classic" and you’ll perhaps understand what Alexander is talking about (in 1985 the "skyline" amps had not yet arrived in Dumbleland).

If you should perhaps like such tones as much as me and you should perhaps like to build such a 4th generation "classic" ODS with a "deep" switch, then by Tony’s (talbany) generosity here now is the layout of such an amp: https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.ph ... 327#137327

What I like about the high gain tone of these 4th generation "classic" amps is the fact that you get all the gain without loosing dynamic response and articulation as is demonstrated to some extent in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGPxrt7d6xk

And if after some shredding time you should like to dial in some different stuff, you will probably be happy that this shredder has some more colours to offer. Here is such a 4th generation "classic" ODS dialled in for a bit more "usual" Dumble ODS tone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qiz30Hzhta4

Have fun!

Hi Max,

Great video and very inspirational too. BTW are you the narrator/interviewer in that video? Great to have a 'face' on some of the alias names on this forum.

Here's a pic for those here who may be interested in some more "non-mainstream" Dumble stuff. Check this guy out and listen to what he does with his transition generation "classic" ODS 100W combo - if you find a clip.

Have fun, guys!
