Thank you Robben, that was very heartfelt. It’s quite obvious that Alexander meant a lot to you. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.
Thank you, Robben for your kind message here on Alexander and his creation.
Mr. Dumble gets to live on through his amplifiers and master players such as yourself, Mr. Ford. What a beautiful thought. Love to you both.
Beautiful words from one master to another.
When someone says Dumble, that blonde one is what I immediately think of. It's also no coincidence that Robben Ford and that blonde Dumble is also what I think of whenever "great tone" is mentioned. It's amazing how much influence he's had on a giant global community of musicians and manufacturers. Rest in peace Alexander Dumble.
A fitting tribute Robben to your friend Alexander Dumble. I’m very sorry for the loss of your friend. As you said, his spirit will live on through his creation.
Speaking truth, in your words and definitely in your music - every note has some Alexander; the two of you are an incredible gift to us. 🙏🏼🖖🏼
That's the truth , words of wisdom . Much Love to Alexander Dumble , Peace .
Sending love to you Mr. Dumble. Had the honor to play one of your amps. Still resonates wirh me today. Your spirit is present. Thank you.
God Bless Alexander and you Robben I joined the Dojo recently and it's been so inspiring thank you for all you do because of your music and Alexander's genius I own a Dumble style amp and it's my number one amp it's so inspiring to play and gig with I'm so sorry for your loss as well Godspeed to Mr. Dumble sending love and prayers your way.
Wonderful tribute to your friend. Alexander must have been a beautiful soul, and very dedicated to his craft. You can hear his passion in his amplifiers, and they're such wonderful conduits for their owners' talents, as well.
Well said 👍🎸
Loverly sentiments 👍
When did you acquire it?
What was the process of him tuning it to your playing? How long did those adjustments take? Did he borrow your guitar to do it?
How long did it take for him to build it?
How many records has it been featured on?
Whats your favorite recorded example of the amplifiers potential?
How crucial is the dumblator ? effects loop break out box?
What are the differences between the black one and the blond?
How many years apart were the two builds?
Who’s Dumble did you play and where before receiving the newly named Alexander? Was it Larry’s? Lowell George? Lindley? Cooder? Kaisers? We have questions!
A touching video Robben thank you.
Great questions mate!... I'd really love to see Robben set up his amp too... Love and light to Robben and Alexander
The most iconic pairing of a guitarist and an amplifier ever. And the most perfect. The music will live on forever.
Sending love to Alexander!! Thank you for all the amazing tones and inspiration you gave to my favorite artists!!
Eloquently spoken and Alex clearly meant a lot to you. A lovely tribute spoken from the heart.
May I request that you could pen a tune similar to the opening of Life Song with the guitar straight into the dumble amplifier? Possible titled Mr Dumble or simply Alex? Xx
What a wonderful story. Robben, you’re an inspiration to many. I was fortunate to have played through your amp at an event in the summer of 2021 in Tennessee. Playing through “the” Dumble with Robben Ford standing next to me was somewhat intimidating. You were awesome to allow some of us at the event to have a crack at it. Sorry for the loss of your friend. Namaste
I tried an Overdrive Special at a shop in Los Angeles back in '87. The amp's owner just wanted to show the amp off, a head and cab. He was a very wealthy collector and didn't want to sell it. He just wanted to show it off. I plugged an LP Standard into it and was blown away. I couldn't believe the clarity, the tone, and the feel. I didn't even understand what I was hearing. It was unlike any amp I've ever played. I've since tried some excellent amps in the ballpark, but they never hit a home run like this amp. These amps are works of art and cherished for a reason.
Awesome tribute. Thank you Robben. RIP Alexander.
RIP, Mr. Dumble. Thank you for bringing beautiful sounds into this world. In the 4th grade, Sister Maria Goretti told me that if I said a prayer to God, he would hear it. But, if I sang it, the angels would multiply it seven times. Robben, I saw you jamming with a local Boulder band in the late 70's at Naropa. I didn't know who you were then, but you were definitely multiplying seven times. Wave on, Robben. Wave on, Alexander.
So sorry for your loss Robben.🙏
Robben. That is a wonderful tribute to Alexander. I have heard you perform with your Dumble amps and the magic of your playing combined with the magic of Alexander's creation is truly wonderful. I visited with Alexander one day when he had one of your overdrive specials in his shop and he spoke very kindly of you too.
He was a true amp genius and although I have never had the pleasure of playing through a real Dumble and probably never will get the chance, I have a great clone which I am sure fall short of the real thing, but nevertheless is my favorite amp I have ever played through. I love you music, you playing Mr. Ford and you are a class act through and through. Wonderful tribute and we can feel how truly heartfelt it was! Good bless you and your music!
Wow... thanks Robben and forgive me, but I got blown away just finding you and wondered where you had been... it must have been the 1980s when I was into perhaps your first album and loved it... where has the time gone?
Excellent! Thank you Robben!
Heartfelt and with a sense of that there's bigger things out there. Keep it up Robben, looking forward to hear what you and Alex do next! ✨
Thank you for sharing your sentiments about your friend, sorry for your loss. Peace and Love Mr. Dumble..
thx for sharing, beautiful story and love your sincerity!
I saw Robben live in Sydney in ‘99 playing Alex and it was the greatest tone I’d ever heard. Thanks 🙏
Beautiful tribute Robben. ❤️
Very nice Tribute to the Great Dumble.
Sad sad loss for you Robben and many others, there's no many genius's in music, he was one. Condolences, respect and stay healthy all.
Great story! Definitely a beautiful sound that inspired tons of music and genres.
Mr Ford, Forgive my ignorance but until I saw this video I did not realize you used Dumble amps. The combination of your musical genius and Mr Dumble's technical genius yield artistry that makes the world a better place.
Thank You
A fitting tribute. My condolences on the loss of your friend.
wow.... thank you so much for posting this... I'm trying to build something inspired by Alexander's work and this totally put it into perspective for me.... it's not just a tool or a mechanism... I'm trying to give life, and a soul to something and make it a PERSON... I feel like I get it now in a sense that I know what I'm going for at least. I'm really sorry you lost your friend, I hope every time you play through this amplifier you feel like you're with him again, and I hope you take a lot of pride in knowing how much of an impact you had on creating such a magical legacy.
Respect & love to Alexander 👏 Amps aside, he sounds like an amazing man.
What a beautiful memorial
Wonderful heart felt tribute. 🙏
A special person made a special amp for a special person. Fly high H. A. Dumble🎸
thank you......i hope You and Alexander keep going with all your great music......cheers!!!!!!
Great video Robben! thanks for sharing that with us.
Great heartfelt video and I’m definitely sending Alexander some love!
Beautiful story. I'm saddened by his passing.
Love you Robben. ☮️❤️🎸
Thanks Robben.... RIP Howard..so sad, we miss you
Thank you Robben
More than anything, I'm sorry about the loss of your friend. RIP, Mr. Dumble
Great Tribute to such a talented friend!!
Made me cry. I sent my Love and prayer… because you’re right, I could be good.
On the other topic… Amps are special, like people. As with a great guitar, you can develop a relationship that just might bring out the best in both of you. When you bring up the volume and your guitar and amp start to interact in a very resonant way… things blossom that might never have found life, without the three of you ever coming together.
✨❤️✨

A stunning and loving tribute!
Robin has the greatest style of playing that exist. And I'm not even a big blues fan🏆👑💪🎸
Funeral today. Please Rest in Peace.
Very very nice, Robben. Rock on.
He lives on in his amps! Bravo
Tribute to Big Al nice one Robben
Too bad he kind of let himself go through the years that I was a little too late to try to get back on the track sadly.
I like looking at some guitar forums when people just sit there and bitch about the price of a Dumble and say they're garbage.
Then talk about how they can make one just as good but they don't realize what went into each one that made them special.
There's a reason why they're not just off the shelf items made in bulk.
But the reason They carried such a price tag and why only so many were lucky enough to have one made for them
Way cool Robben, amazing amp from an amazing person played by an amazing person…., quite amazing.
R.I.P Alexander. I wish dumble amplifiers were still in production.
I know this amp has probably been recorded many times, but for the guitarists among us it would be great to have a follow-up video with a demo and perhaps some more technical talk about how you use and set up this iconic instrument. Cheers!
Awsome just an amazing sound I hope one day I can play through one for 5 minutes, then I have that sound I can chase for the rest of my life cause I just know it's what I'm hearing in my head all these years . I've never been satisfied with every rig I've put together ever , sounds funny but an old ts9 tube screamer I had through a peavey classic chorus with a California strat I had with tex mex trio pickups almost did it but not quite . Lol weird combo but that thing come so close to a s.r.v sound it was crazy
Robben, lindas palavras! Sua música e esse amp estão gravados em minha memória, como uma das mais belas coisas q já ouvi! Thanks.
Wonderful words
Legends!
I can't really put into words how much I've adored Robben's playing and tone through that amplifier over the years, so I'll let this clip do the talking - ruclips.net/video/tvn1K0BQtrE/видео.html
Thank you.
Respect
Glad he bragged about it . so many people cry about the price . When the guy would spend a year or 2 building it . In orchestra s all over the world. The violin bow s are 50k and up, just the bow. Violins are even for 2nd chair 3rd chair users are over 290k
Grande Robben, Grande Mr. Dumble ...
Great history, 👍🔂
💙🙏 to Alexander
How very special!
Can you talk a little about the tragic loss of Scott Ferguson who produced the best album you ever made?
The master!
His favorite author is Alexander Dumas.
RIP Alexander Dumble.
We live this human experience , in a Spiritual World............. OK.. Potter Valley will Honor Alex tonite.. It'll be EARTHQUAKE at volume 10..because I can...... feel your Tribute..I'm sure he smiles down on you .......
I guess the last time yall got to speak was after you left Littleton Colorado after letting Bludo copy this amp..
I know this the last time I spoke to him He was rather upset about those that stole his work.
Matter of fact I sent him a layout and voltage chart of one I owned and asked if that was anywhere close to what he had built for Ej knowing full well in advance Erics amp had caught fire in 96 and never sounded the same because Alex rebuilt the boards and replaced the transformer and when he did out went Erics voicing. Now for the untrained eye or ear that might fly but not when I was in #005 myself on the bench in Austin before it was shipped off for the last time...Alex used dark purple epoxy in #005 and by the time Bludo got the amp all the boards and transformer were replaced..
Hmm wouldnt that make it something else not actually Ejs voicing anymore..?
Yea that always sat wrong with me as unethical which it is.....You know what makes me laugh in 2022 ? Hypocrites
Gonna make Alex sing 🎶
It must be cold if Robben has his shirt buttoned.
What kinda power tubes does Alex use?
Whew!
🙏🏼
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
😊✌
sorry you lost your buddy.
Who is the will ??????? Nobody is said a word. All the parts half built amps
RIP Alexander Dumble.
