Klons, in the old box, are still kind of being built and released. Also there are WAY more Klons than Dumbles, though why Dumbles command such prices is beyond me. Theyre not that rare and most of them only sound OK. 10 grand will ply even the best vintage super lead/bass out of a collector's hands and unlike guitars modern amp makers simply make better sounding products :shrug:
@@TCMx3 All models of the Klon are out of production, this includes the KTR and “old box” Centaur. That’s why the originals are reaching unrealistic prices. For a guitar pedal, they are pretty rare.
@@brandonkruse6412 sure they are. the big box centaur has been "out of production" for ages except for all the legitimate, verifiable new ones that kept popping up on ebay for years. either way it doesnt matter, there are more of them out there than the price demands. but thanks for the history lesson, whether you it's correct or not.
@@TCMx3 The Centaur hasn’t been in production for years and the reason why more keep popping up is because the market demand brought them out.

If anything, we may see more batches of KTRs but they are made so few at a time. There’s obviously a large demand for this circuit for a reason, it’s the best overdrive out there. If there was more Centaurs on the market than the price demanded, the price wouldn’t be increasing every few months.
@@brandonkruse6412 you are very sure of yourself for someone who is unfamiliar with the basic facts.

Sure, it’s a nice sounding amp, but c’mon. If I had that amp I would sell it to a sucker and buy a room full of Fender Tweeds and Brownies, and a Marshall Super Bass, and a Hiwatt CP103, and some more vintage guitars.
Or, just build it yourself for 1 grand from one of the many Dumble clone kits out there. Then you can buy a bunch of old Fender amps, a house, and the house can have a basement where you can tweak and personalize the amp to get it to sound exactly as you like, just like Howard Dumble did for his customers.
You can go to school and learn how to build a dumble clone for that much money to can get a sound engineering degree And electronics degree From some colleges and still have money left for the Price of a dumble. You can probably get 3 or 4 - 2 year Degrees on sound engineering , electronics and something else also for amp building 6 years Or so total form some colleges Out there probably still have money left also for a dumble amp
@@ItsGiusto Owning a Dumble assumes that you already have a room full of those other amps, and a house to put them in. I don't think there are a lot of guys who own a Dumble and live under a freeway overpass and are playing Chibsons. Even when Dumbles were new, they weren't cheap.
@@PolaOpposite my point is that no one should ever buy a real dumble, and probably not a real version of any other really iconic amp. You can build any amp for 1k. There's nothing magic in Dumble's amps he built, it's the same components anyone can buy

@@johnsmith-bk4ps The rig in this video might sound good recorded with some eq and reverb, but that’s not its point.

There's a saying "once you've played the real Macoy you'll never be satisfied with your forgery". But, with this spectacular Emerald City video I say, "Once I've head the real Macoy, any Ole inexpensive copy will suffice" provided decent pickups and amp. Anyway, enough Gibson customers must feel the same, enough to have turned LPs into a billion dollar enterprise
Aaron! I hope they pay you handsomely for your demonstrations on these iconic guitars and amps. Or maybe like me, I’d just to get my hands on these and experience what the guitar world admits are the best examples of craftsmanship on the planet. You are possessed by this combo I know this because I have ears! Holy S*€t…✌️❤️
Well, that guitar demo is incredibly...incredible. All sounds, all positions. Insane. Star spangled banner, Eruption...then this (exagerating a little)
I've heard this combo before and hoped I wouldn't be as disappointed as I was last time, but alas it sucked again. The 59 Les Paul loves the Plexi the jtm45 the jcm800 it doesn't want to be with a dumble. It loved it's husband and true love marshall
It doesn’t want to play scale exercises from the 80’s. That’s like using a Jackson to play BB King. People need to learn to follow the impulse it’s not nearly as fun as it sound.to the player.
The old amp may have not been serviced in a while. I think any kid in guitar center should be able to get a decent tone from this rig. Maybe it has a blown speaker. IDK.
@@qua7771 lol he may have just blown the speaker. It wasn’t ready to be unleashed into 1989. That guy is totally trolling everyone, that or he doesn’t know what a Dumble is.
@@bojangles6444 I came here to see if it is a circuit I would want to replicate. Every other video I have seen has been done with single coils. I'm not a metal head, but the tone I'm hearing here is not my thing for any genre. I'll stick with a plexi.
@@qua7771 replicate as in build by hand or model on a computer? The best replica I have ever seen doesn’t have 1 video on TH-cam. The builder wiped its existence off the net Bc of the fraud involved with getting the money to build it.
Every single person complaining about the treble in the guitar tone here has never recorded at a professional studio and has probably never properly situated themselves in the mix of a band. This is exactly the kind of tone that would sound monstrous in full mix.
Recorded countless times, for many different artists, and not once did any of them ask me to dial up the most blatty flatulent tone I can muster. They usually ask for something….I don’t know….pleasant, musical, focused, urgent, organic…..never, “how about a wet fart through a RAT pedal?”.
Gotta drop by Emerald City - not just for the guitars but also to have one of the protein shakes Jay and Trevor have been drinking - Dad and son are looking extra jacked.
Wow, a lot of negative comments. I have actually been dying to hear if these amps could play hard rock or metal, and for the most part every video has them playing jazz fusion lite or some tame and tidy blues, it's actually left me screaming turn that overdrive knob all the way up! It is called an Overdrive Special after all. I don't believe Howard Dumble built his amps to be limited to blues or jazz.
Soooooo much treble. Realizing both of these are investments more than instruments, I still think I’d made other choices with my half-a-million-dollars in gear.
Great version of “Cold Hard B:tch” by Jet. Sounded perfect with that guitar & amp. I’m pretty sure Jet did it with a fraction of the money, but that guitar and amp combo is something to die for.
Just my opinion, amplifiers are one thing where modern technology is miles ahead of most vintage examples. Dumble’s reputation was made in the 70s and 80s by a handful of players and the price is driven by their scarcity. That Les Paul would sound better through any number of off the shelf, production line amplifiers made today.
Don’t get me wrong, this sounds great. But I feel like a les Paul through a good Marshall gets you the same sound for a lot cheaper. Great playing, though!
Ive seen videos about the dumble...it sounds muddy at times then jumps to higher frequencies in an instant...are you willing to pay so much money for that?
Sounds great. Not everything has to sound like there’s 20 blankets and an inch of cement over the speaker cabinet like a set of Seymour Duncans into a Friedman. I miss the days when music gear included treble and mid frequencies. Lol
Perhaps this should have been “pick of the century”. Videos like this are why we use TH-cam as a platform. Our ears will thank you for this one 🙇
Right on!🎼
A '59 Les Paul and Dumble OD Special combo sounds fantastic! Especially played over TH-cam through Macbook speakers..
Lmao
i was thinking that. i'm sure it sounds killer live, but on video a lot of gear sounds same
Whoever leaned that guitar on that amp and walked away for the shot is an absolute legend / nutcase 😰
It's OK, Les Paul has a very sturdy neck 😄
🤣 I hit LIKE before I even pressed play! Wasn’t disappointed. Just an awesome combination. 🙏
Me too! Lol

May favourite part about this channel is that the demos are all about the CHOPS
Wow, a lot of negative comments. I have actually been dying to hear if these amps could play hard rock or metal, and for the most part every video has them playing jazz fusion lite or some tame and tidy blues, it's actually left me screaming turn that overdrive knob all the way up! It is called an Overdrive Special after all. I don't believe Howard Dumble built his amps to be limited to blues or jazz.
Soooooo much treble. Realizing both of these are investments more than instruments, I still think I’d made other choices with my half-a-million-dollars in gear.
The perfect “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it,” combination. By the way, I can’t afford it….
best one yet guys!! Aaron nailed it!
That ROAR when u hit the E major chord!
i know! i was shocked hearing this rig. i want that amp!!!
I mean… it’s not bad most is hype tho
sounds as good as my 59' Melody Maker through my Mesa... he who wields the instrument controls the noise. wish i could afford it.
Great version of “Cold Hard B:tch” by Jet. Sounded perfect with that guitar & amp. I’m pretty sure Jet did it with a fraction of the money, but that guitar and amp combo is something to die for.
I was thinking the same……that tone could be acquired for about $250. Maybe less. 😆
Dingley Village represent. If you know you know !
There is no one better out there to be demoing this setup. Killer!!!!

Just my opinion, amplifiers are one thing where modern technology is miles ahead of most vintage examples. Dumble’s reputation was made in the 70s and 80s by a handful of players and the price is driven by their scarcity. That Les Paul would sound better through any number of off the shelf, production line amplifiers made today.
ya why have vanilla ice cream when there are so many better flavors
this is definitely the nicest rig that "cold hard bitch" has ever been played through
Don’t get me wrong, this sounds great.
But I feel like a les Paul through a good Marshall gets you the same sound for a lot cheaper. Great playing, though!
Lol a LOT cheaper
It doesn't. Gets you BETTER sound.
Dude I don’t see any proof of it being plugged in . Lol
Ive seen videos about the dumble...it sounds muddy at times then jumps to higher frequencies in an instant...are you willing to pay so much money for that?
Wow!!!
Never clicked so fast on a video
Awesome tone, and killer playing mate!...
Did they mention what speakers are in those cabs?
Sounds great. Not everything has to sound like there’s 20 blankets and an inch of cement over the speaker cabinet like a set of Seymour Duncans into a Friedman. I miss the days when music gear included treble and mid frequencies. Lol
The best, lot of money!
Am I the only one who doesn’t like the scratchy tone of the amp?
Would love to hear Collin Cripps play he is the man and this guitar would come to life
it just did . this rig is on steroids!
Jesus - Aaron did them justice.
Thank you!!! :)
You plugged into the FET input!? Why!?
“But, honey. I only bought 2 pieces of gear.”
“How much did you spend?”
“400.”
“Okay.”
(Under his voice) “400,000”
when i bring a new amp home i set it next to the other ones but facing the wall for a week or so, then turn it around, i think its been working
@@johnsmith-bk4ps Hahahaha!
I think it sounds righteous
This is what you can do if you practice hard for a couple of weeks.

I didn’t know Motley Crue was around in 1959
I laughed. I went mental. I checked my bank balance. I cried. I went back to bed.
