Interesting. They describe it as having the same type of choke as RF. A power resistor. Well, that one was debunked. RF has a Fender choke.

Still, probably a real nice amp.

I see that Lark Street Music has a Dumble OD 50wx 1979 combo coming in per their Vintage guitar add, nothing on the website about it.

Hi Scott,

yes, power resistor and no choke. But in the eyes of some sellers every amp is of course at least just the same as RF's amp if not even "once used by Robben Ford on the birthday party of his grandma". LOL!

But indeed, a nice amp with a nice skyline tone similar to the tone of the Peter Lerche amp AFAIR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap6odoC4itw. AFAIR I liked #173 best of the three 100W skyline amps I am familiar with. 6L6, 4/8 ohm OT, no bright cap at the master volume. More detailed specs I can't remember anymore; too long ago. #121, the SSS/ODS amp, has some kind of skyline stack, too (some different pot values AFAIR). #121 I liked best out of all the "skyline" amps I know.

BTW: They have marked #173 as "sold" already since a year or so if I remember right.

Have a great weekend,

Max

Hi Max,

I have always really liked the tone Peter was getting from his amp in that clip. Do you know more about this specific amp? Such as which schematic/DNA, non-HRM, Skyliner? I love the clarity without excessive detail in the clean tone. There is a wonderfully warm roundness to it without being muddy. The description of the amp says ODS 100 (blackface) but I am not familiar with this...only 101?

I love the OD tone at 1:50!

Cheers.

Peter's amp is a non-HRM with a pre 200 serial #. Correct me if I'm wrong although.

Thanks Greg! So is it a safe assumption that Peter's amp is close to the ODS 101 non-HRM schematic with Skyliner stack?

Thanks.

I think Peter's amp is #153, he waited years to get it.
