New Cab and Speakers for my Grand "Steel String Singer" Dumble Clone -

[@MatthewRMacKinnon]

I’m sure I speak for the rest of us in that we come back every week because we enjoy you as a player and presenter. Playing the stuff you love would only make things better

[@MaddMan621]

5:14 is my first time seeing the whole garage, stunned to see that it's not a completely blue room 😂

[@BCThunderthud]

I made a similar comment yesterday on a video from a couple years ago, wild to see the talk show set in the garage.

[@CrazedFandango]

Yes, amazing to see what he's working with and how it looks. I thought it was a large studio, not part of a garage.

[@Zeinzu2]

YES TO ALL OF THIS. And also use ALL the amps for the pedal demos also. We all have "not sterile" amps. And we give our amps the characters we want. If you go thru the amps with any pedal you have, it might make more audio sense for us. So we can understand the pedals a little bit more. Plus who doesn't love the sound of different amps ROCKING OUT!!!

[@ChrisRash]

Obviously, the jingle for yacht club has to be Sailing by Christopher Cross

[@IamMusicNerd]

I am a HUGE fan of Amplified Nation Dumble amps. Their Steel String Singer just sounds incredible. It’s like 4D audio.

[@seanzinger]

Enjoyed this behind the scenes look!

[@polaritypictures]

put some more shelves up. also put a sheild around the water heater.

[@GitShiddy]

As someone who also has a set in a corner. Absolutely raise the "Dumble" up. Maybe, just maybe a corner shelf for the Fender reverb? But if not the Fender reverb tank should be on the Princeton next to the Tone King due to the Tone King being a taller amp than the Princetons & the D25 looking around the size of the Princeton (if anything it looks smaller.) Just to my mind giving the amps a more natural looking slope towards the middle, even if one side is visually higher, I think would look more aesthetic.

[@reverb508]

Gonna have that timelapse music bassline stuck in my head for the rest of the day. "Bo bo ba baaaaawwwwwww ba bo ba"

[@lilbitofOverdrive]

that whammy bar gives me the same vibes as those tiny toy hands people use

[@terrysbookandbiblereviews]

A matching guitar is what you need now. It sounds awesome!

[@daccrowell4776]

Love the tone on that purple thang. It's got a "throaty" sound...plenty of good vocal formants. Try looking for shallow wire shelving and some short posts. When I was setting up my "raw electronics" devices, I ran across some that have a 14" depth, and they're perfect, even with the weight of the gear. Plus, you could put two shelves there and decouple the head from the cab. Might help avoid microphonics in the amp. Purple, though...yeah, I'm envious! 👍

[@user-qw7wx4kr9r]

My god, that thing is beautiful

[@stefpenfield5918]

This was my favorite sound you've had. Coveting that amp bad.

[@darklight4815]

Before you know it Ryan's gonna be holding out his pinky and wearing a monocle and top hat while playing in his new fancy pants yacht club 🧐

[@gringogreen4719]

Ryan, not to make more work for you, I would flank the Grant with both Princetons, put the Rev on the far right and put the Fender Reverb on that and push the Tone King on the far left. Visually that would look the best.🤔

[@GCKelloch]

Hate to say, I'm not crazy about the sound of those speakers with that amp. First, they both roll off the high end too much for the 4kHz+ sparkle an amp like that is all about. SRV used a combo of JBL 15" & 10" for his SSS sound. The 10" added highs to the massive 15" sound. Second, the 16 Ohm N12K has a peak right in the harshest sounding 3kHz range. While it has a certain clarity, it's ear-fatiguing without having higher sparkle. You might consider a Weber AlNiCo California to replace the N12K. The EMI ST is a nice sounding speaker, although the wider upper-mid peak of a Texas Heat might be better for an SSS, the California will at least add some sparkle if mounted up top. You could choose a paper dust cap if you want a daker sound, but I'd actually go with Aluminum for an SSS. It just sounds right.

[@jake5952]

Ryan, get or build a hollow riser and you can but the fender reverb under the singer, or build one to go over top of the singer and put the reverb back on top of it

[@stefpenfield5918]

Gotta love Bendy.

[@wangsamps]

🎉

[@jeffreydooley3745]

I gotta say, that purple dumble clone is a superstar, looks good in the corner, sounds even better.

[@geo__metro1318]

If the corners of the room are not being used, higher up on the set, some corner shelves could be a good use in order to create more area for you to have things and also full in some of the area behind your head. The corner issue can be solved by having another white draw placed under it and using some scrap wood painted white to in the area between to make it look as though you have a full corner section.

[@blues62751]

Hi Ryan…. great job getting a matching cab and installing the raw speakers. Nice setup in the corner of your music room too. It looks great in that corner. Maybe you could put up a corner shelf above it to keep your Fender Reverb unit on. Just a suggestion.

[@AlisoBob]

You should take that rig to the next Dinosaur Ghost gig...........

[@60CycleHumcast]

It’s pretty dang heavy…. But I might.

[@johnmundt7834]

The dumble makes a lot of sense for you. I’ve got a Ceriatone and I love it for its Fender on steroids cleans. I think a lot of the dumbles had showman transformers in them.

[@tedrobinson3802]

The whammy bar on that strat reminds me of those ape hangers motor cycles

[@danmc_2783]

We're here for YOU Ryan so YOU DO YOU! I say go for it and have fun The Princeton's are great, as you say, and as surely most agree, for what they do. It's ideal as a presenter to give a basic, fairly neutral tone that is instantly familiar to the ear, particularly for pedal demos. It makes for the perfect reference, though even then, hearing how pedals react to different amps with different amounts of headroom can be interesting too. I had thought myself that some pieces of gear you have had in in the past had maybe called for a different amp tone at times and it's always great to mix things up and find different sources of inspiration in any musical endeavor So again, I say go for it and have fun and I'm sure we'll all be here having fun along with you

[@brianrollins7275]

I like it Ryan. Looks good in the middle back there but definitely get it off the floor. Interesting and fun video, great video editing. Love the channel, keep it up. ✌🏻

[@jimhart1959]

I put a Swamp Thing in my Blues Jr and I love it!

[@picksalot1]

Some time ago, I saw a video where Dumble mentioned that Electro-Voice were his favorite Speakers. I also saw a post that mentioned Dumble and another guy hand picking JBL Speakers for a Steel String Singer.

[@Andy_Yates]

That amp looks awesome along with the matching cab. It might require some investment, but you could get a couple mics to leave more of amps mic'ed up for filming. Then you could do the standard 2 Princetons and plug into something different like when you grab humbuckers or your baritones. Also, for whatever its worth, I remember CA code for water heaters had a requirement that the pan in which it sits is essentially a reservoir if it starts leaking. When I still lived in the (SF) bay area, my water heater sprang a leak in the flex connections, so my pan didn't do much. I was able to get the water shut off quickly though. Either way I think it's a good idea to raise the amp off the floor so we can see it :)

[@RobVespa]

Beautiful looking (and sounding) head and cab. Love them. All the gear looks neat, but the aquamarine (?) colored amp* to the left of purple haze** really catches the eye, too. Yes. Getting a switch of sorts allowing you to swap between amps is a good should-a-done-it-earlier idea. As an aside, will the ghosts of dinosaurs be returning to haunt us after a six year absence? "If you had nice amps, wouldn't you want to use them?" Absolutely. I've thought about starting a KZbin channel and having it become popular just so that people send me gear. Although, I suppose that means I may have to learn to play (which I am, for a second time, attempting - the learning to play bit, that is). This is a joke, but also not a joke. I think we've all seen this, across all sorts of industries and mediums, and had comparable thoughts. Ha. * Ah. The Tone King Imperial Mark II. Ha. That's a title. Okay, it's a lot better than all the guitars that have SKU #s for names. C'mon, companies. Pay me to make up cool names for your guitars. ** It was that or purple people eater. My brain is tired. All the best.

[@ryangilby]

My uninvited suggestion: a riser for the Grand with space under for the reverb unit, some non descript foam for behind the cab, several small corner shelves all the way up for more pedal space. OR if you have another small amp or cab you can make the reverb look like a head!

[@mrNobody100]

i like the princetons seem evenly spaced now, at least from the youtube viewer's perspective... and incorporating different amps sound like a good idea for some demos... you should get a peavey blazer or something like that too, so you can bounce from hi end to low end amps, see what happens (or like a fender frontman or some other budget amp...)

[@-processdrone-]

@5:14 I loved this brief glimpse behind the veil, that's a lot of surf boards. Don't you find that a mono rig feels kind of lame after a stereo rig? I certainly do. I mean if you're with a band, everything ends up as a stereo mix anyway so it's fine in a band, but when I'm practicing at home a stereo rig is what gets me fired up to practice. I'm not giving an opinion beyond "That's a pretty amp and cab combo you got there", because I've been watching this channel long enough to know you'll go with your gut anyway. You ask for opinions, but it doesn't feed you, it feeds the youtube algorithms ;-) and that's fine. No one who matters is secretive about the game of youtube.

[@kmac5no3]

Great job on the video. Cool surf Jesus, by the way.

[@67goat]

Raise it to get it off the floor a bit, but I would move the YT plaque to span the two shelves and cover the corner. Then you don't need to raise it that high.

[@cubegleamer2155]

Sweet amp/cab combo. Throw in a DC-2W and guide us to the purple rain.

[@AmpApps]

Dunno, love your consistency for demos. The Princetons are excellent for demos! That String Singer needs nothing, what a dream! Do both in your demos; start with the Princetons and then hit a selection from the Yacht Club.

[@sassycat]

It's the end of one era, and the start of another one. Let's see where it takes us. 😺🐱

[@CraigFlowersMusic]

The acoustician in me has no choice but to point out that you just corner-loaded an open-back cab, so don’t be surprised if you think it’s too bassy. Also I’ve been watching 60CH for years and years, and now it’s going to be a TOTALLY different show now that I know you’re right by a water heater. This changes everything.

[@60CycleHumcast]

It sounds good to me, Im not a stickler for the details though.

[@CraigFlowersMusic]

@@60CycleHumcastI think it sounds good too actually.

[@wraith_1171]

But yes, knowing about the water heater changes everything, totally agree 🙂

[@riklionheart23]

A cheap bass trap in the corner might help?

[@markrouse3722]

Build a corner shelf and put the echo on that. The upper corner looks a bit vacant anyway. Love the channel man.

[@BillyTheKidsGhost]

I also got a new cab from Thomann. I got it as a B-stock item... But as usual with B-stock items from Thomann, you find out why it was a B-stock Item. No mounting screws. I also love the fact that the instructions state mounting screws are included. The lesson of the day is. Don't buy B-stock stuff unless you can fix it yourself. Because they don't correct their mistakes, I buy B-stock stuff anyway if I know I can fix it. But I'm going to ask for more of a discount next time.😁😁😁

[@Mark_Williams300]

Sailing. In the same style as the Two Princetons jungle

[@KuppaKwafee]

I would absolutely want to use that stuff broski

[@axtonkahler7360]

My 2x12 cab is an old Vox hybrid amp that the motherboard crapped out on me. I keep putting off buying a "real" cab but this video is pushing me toward maybe doing so!

[@tjbitt65]

Expand your horizons Ryan. Love the new amp and cab, just don't let the 2 Princeton's bully him!!

[@markgueren9633]

Nice!! Honestly I don’t care what you play or what it’s going through! I enjoy your energy and personality!! And I think that’s what most people watch your channel for!! Keep it up Ryan!!

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

Nice! 👍🏻 Where can I get a green one?

[@waynebake1123]

I want you to use the Tone King Mkii just cause I have one and its a personalized demo. :)

[@maxmustardman298]

That garage now also needs a dumbledore

[@joelewis7072]

You can always gift the fender reverb to me....😂😂😂😂🙋🏾

[@robertlathan4639]

LOVE BOAT theme song would be perfect for the yaugt club theme music!!! Love you all and have a blessed day!!!

[@daddyrocker1000]

If you can, invest in a tankless water heater...takes up way less space, no worries about leakage, and endless hot water, which helps when you have teenagers who take 155 min showers

[@AlexKashner]

I didn’t realize your set was in a garage! Very cool. Is that space climate controlled at all to help keep guitars & other wooden things nice & un humidified? I’m in the process of making a portion of my garage into a studio and trying to work out kinks like that. Thanks !

[@fredyamamoto7738]

You can do it!!!

[@hybridnoisebloom]

You have to do a yacht rock jingle for the Yacht Club amps! 😂😂😂

[@rebelcat420]

Were my eyes playing tricks on me, or did you wire the speakers out of phase with each other at first? In any case, everything looks as great as it sounds!

[@andiebetjemann7920]

I am not sure, that is wise to Switch for the steel singer for guitar demos. We are used to the 2 princess rig (and it's jingle).

[@nmv881]

So now you can 1. name the stack “Barney” 2. Create a midi sounding jingle that sounds like “I love you, you love me….”

[@Mournblade7]

How about a midi for a Steely Dan song like Black Cow or something for the yacht club amps

[@campbelltron]

did you ever discuss that uncanny valley wiggle stick?

[@wraith_1171]

Ya, let us hear the different amps

[@nickolasecker9596]

I would kill for a steel string singer style amp, that’s my dream amplifier. Anyone know which pedal could get closest to that tone?

[@wangsamps]

Zvex

[@MrPhotomiked]

Did you wire these two 8 ohm speakers in series or in parallel? Either way what’s the power output of your amp with this updated cab? It’s a killer setup!

[@warrenharman3435]

Perhaps when Steve is there we will see the Purple better. Steve says What?

[@mjdbruyn]

What, no Two Princetons anymore? Unsubbed.

[@0xF15h]

Do a behringer 636 review

[@ianstu7]

Guys, he said "the two Princetons" and the jingle didn't play. I'm beginning to think it's just an edit?

[@BrentAdams]

Do It!

[@slickbb7]

Is this dumble amp worth the money 💰

[@reverendg5937]

Should of done a Montage, what you really needed was a Montage. If we'd ask Team America they would said to use a Montage!!!🤣🤣🤣🤷

[@mattdoliver1984]

Damn Son.

[@riklionheart23]

Well obviously, a wet/dry/wet setup with the Singer as the dry amp and the Princetons as your stereo wet amps 🤷🏼

I only have one throphy also..its from the same year..1989 for an art show i won..lol haha funny..in california lol twins ?

[@Csal43]

What happened to your supro?

[@60CycleHumcast]

It’s in my living room. It’s gets a lot of use there.

[@WeaponizedKarma]

On my budget a Fender Princeton IS a yacht club amp. Lol.

[@proghrdindhhrrslug]

Great video. Ace hardware 4 wheel wood cart or harbour frieght. Just paint it (the 4 wheel cart thingie) then cover it in matching Purple fuzz and slap it under that cab. Aprox a 40$ project. P.s. you keep playing "High Freq" riffs. Links to reverbnation in comments on my yt inside my music vids. Or just go direct. Cuz you play alot of "High Freq" riffs. Recorded on the Haarp album, free on reverbnatiin. So those are Mike H riffs. Check em' out. You'll like it.

[@60CycleHumcast]

im not familiar with that album and im not sure what you mean by 'high frequency riffs', Ill have to check it out I guess.

[@proghrdindhhrrslug]

@@60CycleHumcast Seattle band. High Freq. (Not frequency). Final lineup. Mike H. Jeremy C. Jeremy S. 1991-2018. You keep playing tiny pieces of "Haarp" 2018, thier final album.

The amp sounds great, but nearly $2600 for a Bendy amp seems like a lot...

[@mancub1589]

Why am I watching a paid promotion of a product? Isn’t this just a commercial?

[@60CycleHumcast]

Technically the amp was a gift from a friend but I always like to click the “paid promotion” option on KZbin because the core focus of this channel is product demos.

[@insulartomb]

i'm a little ashamed of how excited the prospect of a new jingle makes me. (in addition though! i'm afraid the two princetons one still never fails to make me grin and that you're stuck with it forever.)

[@Draw54]

Why worried so much about image - if you got amps use them. Who cares how much they cost, where they sit in a room and what people say. Maybe spend that time worrying about playing skills instead if you’re so concerned about stereotypes. Side note: how many people actually make their amp sound as flat as possible before using a pedal. I get why a demo would do that but it doesn’t accurately reflect real world use.

[@BushidoPhoto]

No normal musicians can afford this amp, please review real people's gear, not snobby amps.

[@60CycleHumcast]

Probably 90% of the gear on this channel is “normal musician”. It’s okay to step outside of that box and check out a $2k amp from time to time. - Steve
