Thought I would post a little update on my project. Here are a couple of pics of the chassis (minus the final cut for the transformer) -- I am quite pleased with the way it came out....Will post more progress soon!

Thought I would share some more photos of my amp -- I started the heater wiring today -- and all points before transformers -- here are a couple of pics to show progress.... (when looking at these, remember that I am a newb! -- still trying to get that lacing thing down!!)

Thanks for taking a look!

Thanks for sharing your build pics and great sound clips

Most people associate Dumbles with Ford, and I personally think it would be great for Beck, Cause We Ended as lovers type stuff too,. Some of those clips even sounded allmost like Scott Henderson type stuff. (Dolemite/snake Soda type stuff) All that stuff is great.

but if I built a Dumble Clone, it would be to pursue it more along the lines of how SRV used them, and to get the tone of "The Telephone Song" more specificly.

Everywhere I read that early he used Jackson Browns Dumble ODS early on, but then latter had Howard Dumble build him a Steel String singer.
Which is suposedly a SVT power Section, twin reverb pre, with Super Twin OT. with EF86.

I started a thread about the Steel String Singer in the amp GArage about it, but it's just at the pipe dream stage. There's a few different descriptions of how to go about it, so I'm not sure whioch way to go yet. But eventually I want to build that amp. An SRV - SSS in between my EVH- 12000 and Sickenson Spec - JTM 45/100 is my kind of wall of tone.
I can put my 67 Super revrb in there too.

This thread is making me want to get my feet wet in the Dumble pool. This looks like a pretty easy kit to build. I bet some things might be similiar to other Dumbles, and maybe I can tweak to get the exact tone I'm trying to get.

I really liked the Scott Henderson type licks, and like to hear more in the Hendrix/SRV type feel to see how this amp does that, or if it can can get close enough to tweak it to that.

You're so quite already so long

I always wondered about trying local feedback in different amps .. fender or marshall.
It basically tightens up the bottom end, right?
