Kind of bogus that he put Dumble tags on all 3 speaker cabs - none of which are actually made by Dumble. At least he is being honest about it.

I agree, from the listing: " This is the real deal. The Dumble clones don’t match up to the real deal. Imitators and clones just are not the same, trust me."

"Trust me" and bootlegged logos don't really mix in my world.

Front 213.

Here is full description from listing. Might be nice for future reference.

Dumble OverDrive Special 100 watt and EV-12L 4x12 Cab

Here is my mint condition Dumble OverDrive Special 100watt amp with Skyliner EQ. It’s a half stack with a 4x12 ported cab that I had custom made for the amp. I have never seen another Dumble EV-12L type 4x12 half stack. What an amazingly brilliant and awe-inspiring set up! Hammer of the Gods, indeed!

I purchased the Dumble ODS, with its precision power section and the Skyliner EQ voiced overdrive section (and its footswitch for both Boost and Overdrive), from a Grammy award winning guitarist and music producer in 2003. It has been one of the centerpieces of my collection ever since. It has never required any service during that time. The guitarist and producer I bought it from told me always kept it in his spoke free studio, and it has never left the confines of my smoke free studio. It still has the JJ/Tesla EL-34 tubes that the manufacturer recommends are best suited for the amp. I am not an audio engineer or amp tech, but I am a life long vintage gear collector, serious player and unapologetic tone chaser. So, permit me to enthusiastically share some of my thoughts about my experience with this Dumble and EV-12 cab set up. The way this amp was designed is genius, and so is the man that made it. This is the real deal. The clones don’t match up. Imitations and clones are just not the same, trust me. This was built in the 1990s and during the time in which Dumble is thought to have built his best amps. I always felt that this Skyliner EQ was the best design of Dumble amp, for me atleast, given that fact that I like modern high gain sounds as well as the Fender-ish and boutique clean and crunch tones that this Dumble does so well. To me, it’s better than any blackface or tweed Fender, Marshall or Hiwatt I own. The Dumble EV-12L set-up, if set right, gets as Voxey as any of my ‘60s vintage Vox, and it is higher fidelity and dead quiet without the heat, hum, and unpredictability of a vintage Vox. It does a strong Vox jangle with all of the harmonic content you would want. Although the circuitry bears no resemblance to a Marshall (or Vox for that matter), it does do the Marshall thing in superior fashion, and even gets dark metal voicing with amazing clarity. Yeah I know, you wouldn’t think that from a Dumble, but the ODS with EV-12 combination can do a dark ultra high-end clarity to rival any. Drop D sounds great. This is a rare EL-34 based Dumble ODS 100 guitar amp (most were 6L6 tube models) and was more versatile for me than some other Dumble amps that I had a chance at over the years. And it’s a blast exploring all that it can do. After you take delivery, I will send you some lengthy emails of operational tips some Dumble ODS owners shared with me and which also served to confirm my observations and experiences with the amp. Serial No. 213. As I said, this particular amp was made in the mid-1990s. All original, and in the same pristine condition it came to me in. The amp head comes with the foam lined flight case that came with it. It also comes with its or

I wonder at which setting he uses to get an EL-34 to sound anything like an 84 :? ..These write up's always amuse me. :lol:

I thought no two Dumbles were the same, so this doesn't make sense either

If my clone sounds awesome, it shouldn't matter if it's the same anyway

I prefer my ultra high-end clarity as dark as possible. I like amps that can do really cool things, even things that make no sense. As long as it can do it...that's all that really matters. I have been thinking of an easy bake amp. With a little slide out rack on the back that sita real close to the PT. I could play a few tunes and cook my favorite treats. I'm big on multitasking.
