|
|
I recorded this clip this morning after making some adjustments to the 30 watt Fuchs. How is this tone?? I think it is plenty warm and bassy but with good articulation. Celestion 1265 on this. Sorry for the sloppy wank but I recorded it on the run before leaving for work.

Sounds really good. The 30 has some killer overdrive tone. When you did clip #4(previous post) using the 50 were you in cathode or fixed bias? It would be interesting to hear the 30 and 50 back to back both using the 1265 and cathode or fixed bias. |

Fixed bias. Only my 30 has cathode bias. I have clips of the fixed bias 50 in the new clip thread.

|
|
I was at the matamp factory (huddersfield, G.B) last autumn.
The main engineer there told me about the time they were repairing a dumble(dont know specifics). Anyway, there appeared to be some brown gunge within the wiring...and when it was pulled away, to everyones amazement, circuitry similar to that of a tubescreemer was dicovered!
Perhaps thats partly why te overdrive works so well at low volume and probably explains why carlos can get awesome fat tone without blowing eardrums these days...unlike hes always done with the boogies.
Point is, dumbles are great, but cleaver borrowing of existing circuitry and at certain stages within the pre-amp will yield excellent results.
Regards

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for sharing that. However, I have never seen anything like that in any Dumble. There are a few degooped amps that I have seen the guts of and a bunch of nongooped ones too. The circuit you may be referring to is a FET boost, like what Larry Carlton has in his volume pedal to goose the front end. It is possible that one Dumble had something like what you describe, but most don't IMO. The secret of the low volume gain tone is the interstage attenuation between the OD stages.
Cheers!
Scott
