    What kills me the most is the CLEAN channel has infinite sustain AND musical harmonic feedback. The clean channel is doing what most want from a driven channel. I could listen to that clean channel all day. Harmonic, rich and just lively. So very alive. Ridiculous.

      Don't think I'll ever be able to play a Dumble amp, but I get the feeling you just described playing through my Soldano. I got it for the famed overdrive channel, but it's the clean channel that's the most addictive. This Dumble sounds bonkers.

      Hey, I have had a ‘59 Bassman since forever now that was found outside in the elements.
      Perhaps it’s sac religion to talk about gutting it’s transformers for Dumble style build but I don’t like that cramped chassis to begin with and the amp has too much breakup for my taste overall.
      No feedback in that circuit, definitely feedback while still playing clean. Nothing beats a simple short signal path with quality parts which begs the question- what tubes are in that thing ? I have another insane amp for headroom but it’s freaking huge and a boat anchor.
      The Bassman is much easier to live with if I can stabilize it. I probably had a bad set of rectification bottles because I saw the lightning in power tubes on the Bassman and killed the resistors on the Sunn 1200 using the same rectifier tubes. I parked those amps 18-20 years ago and this video peaks my interest in bringing them back to life.
      Also remembering my great friend Jim Hanley who helped get these amps running and introducing me to Thiel ported cabinets loaded with EV-M’s wow! 4x12 is cool for metal but for everything else 1x12 is perfect, in stereo of course 😄

    Dan, I had a dumble and what I noticed is that it was like a violin made by the old masters. As it aged, it gain a vibrancy and life of its own. It did not amplify a sound, but gave it a breath of life so every note became its own unique life. The cleans had an innocence of achikd whike the overdrive gave you that old wisdom of a person that has lived a full life of adventure. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Totally loved the video!

Hearing Robben play this amp and watching him play it was so instructional and inspiring. I am in awe of his graciousness in sharing this with all of us. THANK YOU!! It was also very satisfying to hear the amp and recognize the sound that I hear in my head when I attempt to dial in every amp that I have ever tried to dial in. This amp truly has the sound that I have always been searching for. It both gratifying and very frustrating at the same time as there will never be another one like it. BUT, it's always good to have a reference to reach for. Thank you Dan and Mick, and most importantly Robben for sharing this.

    It's unclear how many more opportunities anyone will ever have to record the amp in this way. It may be the purest recording of a Dumble we ever get. Wow!

    Thank you so much Mr. Robben Ford & TPS for putting this information out there. These amps are so mystical & magical & incredible & I’ve tried to learn as much about the man as I have about the amps. It’s a pleasure to listen to you tell some of the lesser known parts of his story.

    Fantastic show! Great playing by all. I loved Robben’s stories about Alexander Dumble and how he lived his craft. Thanks for making this video.

    I have come to the conclusion that people who say “I don’t get the Dumblething” have never had the luxury of actually playing a Dumble amp. Man was a genius, a tunnel-visioned artist whose art was the procurement of “tone”. Thank you so much for gifting us this.

    Bought “ The inside story “ album when it came out Robben Ford is one of the most amazing soft spoken and humble guitar players on the planet Thanks for this wonderful interview Saw an article in guitar player magazine in the late 70’s with Christopher Cross talking about Alexander Dumble amps IMHO right up their with trainwreck

    The reference to the amp being a person, and then all of these unique people interacting with it-each of you had a conversation with Dumble, despite the obvious existential limitations. What a beautiful thing. Thank you for sharing it with us.

    That Miles Davis Montreux show on the Miles Montreux DVD box with a young Robben in white shirt and short hair,his dumble in the background and that strat with hot rail pickups and Miles casually walking around occasional playing a chord on a Yamaha dx7...and Robben at the peak of his bebop chops is magic.

    Wonderful playing from all. We're all very fortunate for these last two episodes with Mr. Ford. As a total hobbyist and novice level player, one of my goals is to find a connection from me - to a guitar - to an amplifier, like he has. Its inspiring and just incredible.

    Wow! What's really striking to me is how it both takes on the character of the guitarist and guitar in such a big way whilst also retaining the character of the amp
    Clearly everyone was having a great day as you all sounded phenomenal through it

    What a lovely fella Robben Ford is, as well as such a phenomenal player. I had the pleasure of seeing him play in Sydney a couple of years ago and it was a fantastic concert. He used the one tele for the whole show, may have been the one in this vid, but he didn't have the Dumble as I recall. The Dumble does sound so wonderful even through YT, in the room it must be glorious. I can see why it's a sound so sought after. Hats off to Dan and Mick for this, one of their best yet.

    You lucky gits, not only getting to meet and hang out with Mr. Robben Ford but he also lends you his iconic Dumble to play through!!! I don't get jealous,,but......dang it..I AM!!! I have been pestering you guys for years to get Robben on the show since he is my favorite guitarist ever! So happy for you guys! This made me smile and I dont know when It will stop! I look a right fool! Cheers!! oh and speaking of "living your craft", I have always felt that the purity and musicality of Robben and his music is he himself always "living his craft"!

    Dear Lord. Thinking that's a single amp. No wet & dry wizardry. That clean clarity, responsive crunch and heavenly distortion coming out.. like all at once, hand in hand & beautifully together. Even the recorded sound is pure bliss.

    Loved every single second of this show. Robben is a master, undoubtedly. I always praised on how elegant and efficient his left hand was, but watching these 2 shows I suddenly rediscovered his amazing right hand touch, control and feel. About the amp, nothing needs to be said, really, over what you did. It does speak for itself. A piece of art, labour and passion, that delivers tones like no other. Just incredible. Thank you guys for having graced us with these shows. They are already two classics!

    @kcole4001 4 месяца назад +2

    Brilliant video every way you look at it.
    It's especially insightful for those of us who have and will never see or hear in person, let alone own a Dumble.
    And of course it's impossible to virtually get the feel of what it's like in the room, but just seeing that big grin on Robben's face as he plays tells us how good it is.
    He was clearly having a great time.
    Thanks for making this available to all of us and for asking the questions that give us a glimpse into that world.
    Cheers!👍👍

    @agriff4795 4 месяца назад +2

    Unbelieveable! Robben Ford has shared something with us that moved me as much as his music. Hard to put into words, but his whole approach to playing guitar, as well as his talent and skill plus his Dumble amp really inspire me to play more melodic lines, rather than just blast scales. Great episode, really loved everyone's playing here, very well done indeed!!
