Howard voiced each to the customers needs so there is a lot variation. I've played four Dumbles, including the one Santana eventually purchased. That one was great, another was almost as great, the other two I'd regret owning at $1,500. No one steps up and admits to owning one of the dogs, which in my limited experience is half.

With the Madison connection I thought you'd be all over that, Dave.

$90k wire transfer... I'll be right on it with that kind of buyer security backing up the transaction!

It's an EFX loop buffering box. You run the amp loop out into the Dumbleator, then run your EFX in/out of that. The out on the amp in just a Pre out/Power amp in. Most EFX don't like that, they want to see a buffered loop.

It's like on a Dr Z Maz amp, most guys run a Fuches Plush Tube-FX Loop box, makes the loop match EFX better. Same thing.

And you didn't buy it? :lol: Seriously with something like this like the old saying goes if you have to ask you can't afford it. There are people that can and will buy...........hard to believe. its not just the sum of the components its also WHO put them together and how................still its hard to believe ANY amp could be worth this kind of coin. Rick Vito has some serious vintage amps and rare guitars.

I think it gets to a point where its no longer about sound, but more about status symbols.

Now....where's my peavey backstage??? :D

Does ANYONE seriously believe that any amp is worth that much? Anyone?

It only takes two or three.

With names like Bonamassa, Mayer and Urban.

It seems to me I read a while back that to get one built you have to put up $10,000 down and wait years... As part of the contract, if you called to inquire about the progress, he'd keep the deposit and not build the amp.

Sounds like the last asshole I'd want to give money to - I don't care how good the amp supposedly sounds. "NO AMP FOR YOU!!!!!"

I can tell you that there are numerous boutique builders that are nailing the "D" tone. And it is a fantastic tone that I love. Some folks, not so much.

I have a low powered "Non-HRM" model and a "Bluesmaster" model that Moss Hudson from BrownNote built me. They are fantastic. Great cleans, crunch and that highly elusive "chirp". It's a tone some care little about.

Howard's designs are fantastic. He is a genius. But the cat is out of the bag. You can get the "D" tone for two or three grand. And, in my humble opinion, they are worth every dollar.

The "corksniffery" has, for some, tarnished the incredible usefulness of these amps. I love them.
