This Tone is why Robben Ford uses a Dumble ODS

The emperor has no clothes

Wtf

I don't get it

My Peavey Classic 20 with a Boss SD-1 in front of it gets 99% of the way there for <500$.

I don't deny that Dumbles sound great. I do deny that they are remotely worth the price tag.

If you like the tone, there are plenty of Dumble clones available.

What robber ford song is this

What gets me is much as I like Ford's tone, he doesn't use the mid boost which is what gives a Dumble it's uniqueness.Without it sounds like a Fender with some of the midrange back. Yea they sound great, probably my favorite amp tone but over a hundred G's no.

It's a fine tone, but not nearly worth the asking price of these amps.

This comment section is making me appreciate how much amp modeling and sims have spoiled us as a community. This would have been considered godly tone just a few years ago but now that it can be achieved for a few hundred bucks, guitarists revel in tearing it down as “hype”. We can’t forget that these amps really were something special not too long ago

I get there with the van weelden royal overdrive thru my deluxe reverb and 335. Alot of a persons tone is in their hands,the way they pick using pick with fingers etc. Gear is part of the equation,but Robben Ford sounds like himself through whatever he plays,wether its his Dumble or a Zendrive into a Fender amp.

Sounds like a TR with a speaker with a burnt come...

I can get he same tone from my Boss Katana

The only reason this costs $100k is that billionaires play guitar, too.

Sounds like a line6

I dont like the tone. Sounds like a Fender with cold. Not my cup of tea.

My Mesa express can do that

I was hoping for a reveal that it was actually one of their pedals

I had my Pro Jr amp gutted and rewired with a Dumble type circuitry along with a cascode gain stage. Pretty happy with it. I should have paid thousands for what my amp tech did for me. I will never give up this amp or divulge its secrets.

Robbin gets better tone from his Dumble but that has a lot to do with Robbin..

Sounds great, but it’s not that great. Not $100,000 great. No way! I’ve been playing for thirty years. There are no magic amplifiers. There are no magic guitars. There are no magic pedals. There is simply quality and crap. It’s all about your set up and how you play. If you spend hours upon hours obsessing over amps, guitars, pedals, cables , so on, then you aren’t practicing. And if you aren’t practicing then you aren’t getting better. You could plug into a Dumble and yes you will still sound like 💩. Sorry 😊

That's a very open, dynamic overdrive channel

I don’t get it

ceriatone, bludotone, red plate and other great clones out there

Bro it doesn't even slam

Am i the only person experiencing something epic?

Can't figure out if the amp or you sounds like a$$

Very boring sounding amp

I feel like you gotta be in the room with the amp to get the little extras that make an amp special. There's little rings and sizzles and snaps that don't translate on video.

How can a box of electrical components be so expensive?

And anyway, to my "60 year old jazz guitarist ears", it sounds quite a bit like a tube screamer 😊

Ugh, such a sweet tone.

Robben Ford.....his overdrive tone is the only one that doesn't assault my ears. Tone and tasty licks....that's why he is my favorite blues guitarist.

I hate to tell you brother, that’s sounds like shit… It might be rare and look pretty, but it’s a terrible amp…. Some of the vintage Fenders I get, but this ain’t it….

Pretty ordinary, any Marshall would crucify it

What is the name of the tune?

Who cares already. I’m so sick of this annoying fetish

I just sat on the floor on front of a fender twin he played through, was pretty harsh, still I‘d be thrilled to play half as good at his age.

You can’t always tell what a Dumble will do from a recording. Each was made to what a guitarist wanted for his own playing. Nothing can match the clean overhead of some Dumbles. But for the best guitarists in the world they are willing to pay the price. Most of these are on their second or third artist. I heard one just went for 450,000.

Huh. It sounds exactly like my Burny Super Grade through my J Rockett "The Dude" pedal into my home built 5E3 clone.

"Don't take me alive" and a ton of others. Larry Carlton lead tone

My Dr Z MAZ 18 MKII will do that with ease playing into a 1 X 12 with a Jensen Blackbird

Dumbles OD specials are so stiff (not touch responsive) dry, sterile and cold sounding amps that I still don’t get it why people worship them, they are closer to transistor amps to my ears

It ain’t Wonderwall is it!!

I’m sorry to break it to you, but that’s not the Robben Ford that’s Larry Carlton my friend which is a different sounding Dumble, It does sound like Carlton

Am I the only one who wants more gain on his overdrive?

Sweet

Just buy a M/B Mark amp and you get all these tones and more. The only thing special is that they were custom made for celebrities.

the bark tone can be gotten with an ibanez tube screamer and any good quality amp

Please! Grow up. It's an amp. It's not magic beans!

Great effin tone. This is one of the summits for sure.
