I own a wonderland overdrive, an awesome amp with so many dif. sounds, besides that i had an issue with the amp about 5 months in, i emailed taylor, he had me ship it back to him which he paid for and fixed it and sent back , great customer service , thats why you buy from him, issues with amps will always come up but if you buy it from the right company you wont be disappointed! couldnt be happier!

Yesterday I received my Steel String Sultan 50W. I used to be wary of people saying that some gear can “inspire” you to play more and differently. This amp definitely did that for me. I has an unbelievable clean tone. Must have if you are a tone geek like me.

The magic of a great amplifier is lost on the majority of guitarists that simply aren't "good" enough to truly appreciate them. You can't be a paint by numbers musician and "get it". There is a certain level of "feel" that accomplished guitarists achieve that is lost on most players. If you don't have that amazing touch with your hands, you'll never appreciate a killer amp. Great interview!

@@AuntAlnico4 it's way cheaper to mass-manufacture from a huge inventory of all the same type parts, rather than hand picking to adjust for each amp build while throwing away the 30% of resistors etc that are out of spec. Fender's always made a point of frugality & using up every part lying around, regardless if it made the guitar or the particular amp better. The general designs were brilliant, but they (and Marshall) have always been more concerned with getting them out the door & having sales numbers. And Fender and Marshall have always been extremely easy to duplicate & market as 'always the same thing' even if some were less than perfect. I'm beginning to think some of these new "boutique" amplifiers are actually cheap from a price to value perspective. Exact opposite of Fender USA.

They are amazing amps, but I still don't know why they're worth as much as they tend to get sold for (and that was before Dumble passed). I'm glad someone has come along and is trying to replicate the classic Dumble amps of popular artists.

The major differences were caused by the availibility of parts in Europe vs the US. Marshall started trying to make a copy of the fender bassbreakers, but had to make a lot of changes because they couldn't get parts. This required progressively more design shifts until it became something totally unique
@PeterDad60
@PeterDad60 Жыл бұрын
@@matroid4996 How about telling us what is totally unique. Do you really know what the different parts are and how they differ? What exactly are you talking about? Everyone can grasp that England probably does not use or have available every kind of eclectic component exactly like the U.S. does. Components such as like transistors, capacitors, transformers and most importantly tubes. Yes in the beginning substitutes had to be made because of component availability in England. Still from what I understand the Original Marshalls were really close to being Bassmans. Over the years new Marshall amp models were introduced and then the schematics changes. As it stands my Fender Bassman has the same schematic as did my Marshall JTM45. That means there are not a lot of design changes and in truth the schematics are pretty much identical. - Peter age 73

@@PeterDad60 if you’re looking at JTMs and bassman’s, you wont find much of a difference. But don’t undersell the difference in the circuit caused by the tubes alone. I won’t get into it because I don’t feel like going through the math on why that effected downstream component choices so I’ll move on to the other major thing. In the US, higher voltage electrolytic capacitors were far more readily available up to around 600V. This lead Leo to design the bassman to use parallel reservoir banks with summed capacitance vs Marshall having to use series with summed working voltages to replicate how the fender rectifier tube could open and drive current faster at higher loads. Makes a bigger sound difference than you would think. They also tap the negative feedback at difference impedance values, with the JTM being higher

After testing all the ones he had, about a dozen, he went through the notes and selected the perfect one for the amp he was selling. Someone would look at that app and say "oh it has a celestion 30 watt speaker" and then copy that. Sorry, these people are not on his level building clones.

I got vintage amps and use them all the time, but i also maintain them all the time, new caps and resistors where needed, as long as u put the same value back in, it doesn't change the sound. Like old guitars its all hype. I built an exact clone of one of my vintage gibson amp and it sounds very similar, its the transformer that are hard to get exact. But it can be done. I like cathode biased lower watt amps. You cant beat the sag and edge of breakup sound. But for gigging fixed bias and higher wattage is where its at.

Phil, I would LOVE to see you break down (based on your best estimates) how many people buy amps at the various price points like: Under $200, $200-$500, $500-$999, 1k-2k, 2k-5k, above 5k. Not among pros but among ALL guitar players. I have to believe that for every serious player who drops more than 2 grand on an amp, there are five players using a Katana or something similar. I totally agree with your take on how spending large amounts of money gets you small improvements the higher up the price range you go. For some players, it's worth it.

I would love to have a boutique amp to use at home where I could appreciate the nuances that can be heard in a sonically sterile environment. In real life, I use a stock Fender Deluxe Reverb or Twin Reverb, and when the bass and drums kick in, I can’t hear or appreciate the difference between my amps and something “Dumbley”. Also, no one has ever accused me of sounding “chewy”. If Bonamassa and Mayer can afford these amps, God bless them. I can’t justify spending the money on one when I can’t hear the difference and the people I play for couldn’t care less. This was an interesting video, though!

The point might be for the extra 10% IF you can get the clear gain where the tones sing without harsh harmonics - is recording .....and if the material your composition and playing and you want the singing gain with beautiful clear harmonics ..and even some complex chords with clear crunch sometimes..that's where the extra 10% comes in - recording . I associate the Dumble Clean like Fender with a bit more body and 'sing ' .And some of the Overdrive where it's almost Fender / Marshall with singing overdrive. Modern Santana has clearer harmonics in his OD - and I noticed that in the Rob Thomas thing - his OD tone has no fuzz at all - in the beginning - Santana had a little fuzz in his tone ...now clearer. So the clean gain of the CAE+ / Carlton / Ford and some of EJ and Bonamassa... The harmonics don't fight with each other - and I do hear that in the Amplified Nation stuff. Overdrive Reverb ...especially ...But I want to listen more to other demos ...I am interested in Recording so you hear everything ...as do the audience for the Music... a tone boost will not make it or break it but it might put it over the Top - IF it's good enough music. I need really clean for some of the chords but love singing OD ..with clear harmonics ...so these are very low noise - a possible BENEFIT of the new components ...I don't think everything was better long ago .

When Sourwater finally got some back in stock, the price was, from the best I can remember, quite a bit more $$!! 8( I can't really afford "them" right now. I have 5-6 small amps. My Egnater Rebel_20 thru the Mojotone 5/4 pine 1X12 w/Celestion Alnico Blue's is as close as I can get for now. I have a cab waiting though, Mojotone did an anniversary (50 year) cab for Celestion, 2X12 with Alnico Creamback's, they owed me a favor (long story) and gave me a great deal on one.

Dumble never charged THAT much. They were thousands but not even ten grand. Is the second hand rarity that makes them so valuable to people. All his amps sounded different, I played some that were incredibly loud and clean, others for a creamy and distorted, he didn't just have one style or one type of thing. He really wanted to make them for a specific player who played a certain way, but that would often vary project to project.

Grab some books from the library about electricity first. Then Gerald Weber has some great tube amp books

Merlin blecown " tube preamps for guitar amps". Or something like that. It's one of the best more modern books

I love Dumble tone but to be honest playing by myself or with some friends it is hard to justify dropping $3,500 on an amp head! So are there pedals that do a decent job of simulating that Dumble sound?

Vertex steel string singer for SRV or the ultra-phonix for the Mayer wonderland overdrive sound. You’ll need a good amp with a really nice and dynamic clean channel to start with to get the most out of the pedals.

Everyone is always trying to make the amp sweeter and quieter. I want an amp that's more aggressive and punchy.

people THINK they want these kind of amps until they play one. They are very..very filtered and are about the furthest thing from "sweet" you can get. lots of preamp gain and over filtering are not necessarily a good thing when you are playing the amp in your room at 2.5 on the dial. Now playing outside to a few hundred people, these amps have their place, the keep their bottom end and can be fully heard in the back row....in a typical home..NOPE. do you like any sweetness in your high end.... well now take an iron bar and hit it with a hammer...THAT"s your high end now- that is the steel string singer experience for this player (never played an Amplified Nation Amp btw- i am talking about dumble style amps in general)

As a weekend warrior, I don’t know anybody that would drop 3500 bucks for an amplifier. And if I did, I better make sure my wife never sees it.

Don't you just hate Dumble? I wouldn't have known Dumble if it wasn't for Eric Johnson's lead tone...which was just my imagination, because it was really a vintage Fuzz Face, whilst using the volume and tone controls on his vintage guitars ... that also were unavailable, and not even that, because Eric had modified his Strat with a DiMarzio ... but not like you could do it, because he had coil-tapped it, so that HS-3 was only half-power ... no, not coil split, that's humbuckers ... which was in reality what Johnson played in the studio ... and it was a Gibson '59 burst Les Paul, a Flying V and an ES 334 - so that magic resonance of his hi-gain sound was really ... a half acoustic Gibson :P But ... use Ray-O-Vac batteries, NOT Duracell!!

Simple really, more power accelerates mass more quickly. The top speed doesn’t change, but the time it takes to get to the top speed is reduced. Viola…not faster in relation to MPH, but faster when looking at time taken to reach your destination. Now, how that relates to tone in an amplifier is as relative as using the term chewy or airy. So in that respect, each of us will need to experience what he is talking about to wrap our minds around it 😉
