It's nice when people show some love, at least some kind of acknowledgement.

My sentiments as well. I never built an amp before being turned on to this site. Have now built four with a fifth in the works. Could not and would not have done it without the unselfish help from folks on this forum. Not in it for anything but my own personal enjoyment and sense of accomplishment. The extra playing while tweaking has resulted in the welcome side effect of small breakthroughs in my guitar playing, too. I would post more if I thought it would help anyone. Alas, I am a tinkerer/wanker as a builder.Deric wrote:I've learned more about amps in general reading here than I've learned anywhere else. I don't post much - I generally can find the answers to my questions with the search function (Dumble related or not). I wish I had more to offer... I'm reluctant to answer questions unless I'm sure of the answer - in fact, I've learned a LOT just by reading people's questions, answering them in my head, then checking back here later to see if I was right (or not
Anyways, THANKS to ALL who have shared info and knowledge here. Much appreciated!!!
Damn, now you made me feel bad.dogears wrote:Bob, at least people here post about other stuff. Quite different than people joining a forum, logging in, taking ideas, and not making a single post ever!! I don't care if it is off topic. Just post....
I completely agree.I think the issue is that people come here, contribute NOTHING, and TAKE info posted here to use for financial gain. It is one thing to get info here to become educated and build yourself an amp, it's another to get info here to build amps comercially, and give NOTHING back to the community.
I also agree Scott, many of us have learned from the off topics as well.dogears wrote:

My 50W HRM also had that same high-endy thing that's in those clips and I never really got rid of it. In my amp it wasn't a matter of settings...I always assumed it was layout since mine is in a Fender chassis and my layout is very non-stock. Mine also seemed to have too much IM distortion...heaven forbid you not play perfectly cleanly because the resulting IM 'note' was prominent enough to sound pretty sour. Even tuning the amp to the point of sounding honky/nasally didn't get rid of it (cleaned up the low end yes...but didn't seem to fix the high-endy thing and the IM).The clip posted by marin blues on youtube are great, some high end freqs are not totally smoothed, but I think that it's a matter of settings...
For 50W HRM it's there, check again... press refresh if it doesn't work for you.Fischerman wrote: When I just checked there was no layout (the word is there but it's not a link).
A) C'mon Brandon.......... Give nothing back to the community???????? How about a great amp for a great price without a huge wait........Funkalicousgroove wrote:I think the issue is that people come here, contribute NOTHING, and TAKE info posted here to use for financial gain.

'I may be OFF topic Scott, but pls hear me out...i`m building an amp for a fellow( Ron Ravenscroft, google him) who talked to Mr. Dumble first hand. His quote..GREAT AMP, LOUSY man to deal with. Now this guy is a PHILHARMONIC conductor and pro touring guitarist. He HATES a long wait, and i`ve @ made him HATE ME!! I do mostly Fender mods, an amp or 2 a year is @ it. And @ ALL i can take it seems! Either one, the Ceriatones are being built by a SWEATSHOP in Taiwan at the rate of 100 a day, , or the guy NEVER EVER sleeps.. To build this amp RIGHT takes TIME, you can either get a PRO job, that TAKES more time by a guy who KNOWS his stuf like Brandon/Glaswerks, etc, or get a walmart version from Ceriatone, cuz thats what they truly are, THE TONE is not achieved by every tom dick and hairy, and if and when it does, we are all screwed!!! God bless Nik tho for at least trying to be the walmart of Dumble. No harm intended nor extended Nik!makrisp wrote:A) C'mon Brandon.......... Give nothing back to the community????????

B) Regarding financial gain............what about every other builder on this site including yourself? Some hefty price tags for those Bludos...........serious profit margin????
Just trying to keep it real.............. Let's stop bashing folks...Nik has contributed immensely for many folks that can't afford a Bludo.''
