I have a Ceriatone Dumble-clone (with the Dumblator FX loop) and it's absolutely one of my favorite amps. And I've only ever heard great things about Amplified Nation's takes on the various Dumble versions.
That amp sounds amazing! I knew that Amplified Nation makes amazing amps but combined with your playing that was one of the best tones i've ever heard in my life!
@@nilssmelteris7845I don't...and that's a *good* thing. I mean, why would anyone wanna try to sound like Stevie? That's SO played out. Having said that, the tone here is definitely beautiful. Good stuff, Mathew!
Sounds good no question. But as far as the best sound I've ever heard, nah I can't go that far. That's just my personal. I'm glad you feel that way guys. That's a good feeling to have. I don't know, no question dumble Had a knack with things not only with the making of the circuits and tailoring them to each player but also as I said a bit ago a little further up he had a way about him That allowed him to gather a lot about you in your playing style and what you wanted to hear just by watching you play a short amount of time. Like a very short amount of time like a minute I think or something I don't recall exactly
Impressed with this amp all around. Im a Gibson guy.. period...but that 59 strat with that amp was out of this world! Very Stevie Rayish!! Never get enough of your playing! Thank you*!
Got an Overdrive Reverb on order as we speak😁 Taylor will be remembered as one of the greatest guitar amp builders. Thanks for the playing, and the discussion!
How do you figure? Dumble will be remembered. He built amp designs himself from the ground up. Dumble didn't take someone else's circuits, add a few things, and rename them like this guy.
@@J.C... by no means am I discounting the genius of Alexander Dumble, but Taylor has a masters' understanding of what components at which stages create "the sound". If you watch a few more of his interviews and try one of his amps, I think you'll agree he's got something special.
That exactly how dumble got his start and his “sound” A lot of dumble designs are very similar to existing ones In reality he figured out a ss rectifying stage greatly increased the touch sensitivity and too away the “3d” sound of the fender amps he was working from You clearly don’t understand circuit design
So basically dumble too the tube out of the rectifier stage and changed it for a solid state one Also used a really efficient speaker Like a jbl or ev12l
Go play a nice new solid state amp like a quilter or old one like a Roland jc and feel how it reacts to your picking… how “instant “ the sound is across the frequency spectrum as well Tube amps with transformers need to get the ac power into dc type power and rectify this problem with the rectifier circuit Either tube or solid state type rectifier circuits exist Tube rectifier seem to have more “3d” sound and a little softer attack that “sags” a bit On really high wattage amps when cranked up you hear this as oomph or “chug” it basically overloads the circuit because the transformer and tube rectifier take time to get that voltage up to level With a solid state rectifier it happens faster Or some shit like that I only know enough to get me in trouble 🤣🤣
Wow, some gorgeous tones there Matthew, and fantastic playing as ever... Fascinating background too there, with the Dumbles... I'm listening back here, with my Mac Audio going thru my old Bose Panaray PA.... = Sweeeeet ☺🤗Man! Thanks so much for your efforts and talent young man... 🙏 Bobby 🐭
Wow, that is quite a sound. The sustain/controlled feedback is total magic. I like your playing, too. All these internet players that show how fast they can play the thing they've practiced for a year do nothing for me.
Love to see young people playing like this, and getting the same fascination with these tones, this kid is such a great player, he’s got it, he destroys the shredders in the first bar every time.
I played on the SSS from Amplified Nation and played on a Two Rock TS-1(which was also originally a clone of the Dumble). The Two Rock TS-1 completely blows everyone else I've tried outta water. Overall tones, Harmonics, bounce back, the way it takes pedals(it has the loop buffer like the dumbleator).. all in all the Two Rock is the most expensive of it's category but way more affordable than a Dumble... cheers
I can't imagine what it sounds like in person...but coming through the TH-cam sounds quite crystalline and the lows,mids,and highs ranges, sounds amazing....
A friend of mine techs for a gentleman who has two dumbles. He said (this is from his boss) that every single dumble was made custom for the buyer. I can't remember whether he said his boss was the original owner or not, but the detailed info he had on the process of getting a dumble back then makes me think so. He said the guy who ran dumble would invite you over to his shop (he used the word garage) and that based on your feedback from playing the initial base model amp he would modify it to your liking. He made a point of saying to me that even dumbles with the same model names on them don't necessarily sound the same to others. When I asked him how big of a difference we were talking he said "not small, not massive". I can't remember if he said this whole "custom tailored amp" thing was a realtime process like with a breadboard circuit in the guys garage or if he sent you off with the amp a few times until you said you were fully satisfied with it. Anyways, I'm not saying this is all factual, there could be some info that was lost in translation but I trust him and what he was saying.
It's true that each of his amps are individual. You would hear you play and listen to you ask for what you wanted. As far as what you didn't want or what you did want from the circuit. And supposedly the guy just had a sort of sixth Sense of what a player wanted just from his style. And dig this once you order the amp You signed the contract and it said in the contract that you promise not to call him and bother him during his genius and if you did it was going to cost you $200 or something basically just for him to answer the phone and then after that it was like double that for a 5 minute conversation or something like that. And then I heard a clip of his actual answering machine at one point and he said if you want your amp when I told you it gets your aunt then you won't call and again with the pricing structure just to keep you from calling.
Great playing and tone! I talked to Dumble on the phone in the mid-80’s, and he sent me info on his amps, which I still have. An ODS Combo then was $1850.
Companies like Amplified Nation, Fuchs and Bludotone are doing such a fine job of capturing the Dumble tone that I wouldn't fuss about being able to afford a real Dumble. Also, they have fixed some of the flaws inherent in Dumbles. Now, if you are a tone afficionado, I would recommend trying to track down a Dumble just to try one. I got to try one at a shop in Newark forty years ago and was very impressed, but I didn't think it was the amp for me. Before that, I had never even heard of Dumbles, so I came to it with zero expectations. It was an Overdrive Special. Fine sounding amp.
Matthew, I think that every amp you plug in you always blow me away. great playing.... I still like the amps I am used to hearing, Fender, Marshalls, Hiwatt, Orange, Mesa Boogie, Ampeg, Vox...............
Matthew, I have been watching you for years and it's been fascinating watching your playing progress. I'm a big fan, but today, I can honestly say what you did in this video puts you on Mt. Olympus with Stevie. Honestly, dude, I'm humbled.
I have a fake dumble, and it's miles my favourite amp I've ever used. The smoothest overdrive, and the most touch responsive amp ever. I can't imagine what the high quality boutiques sound like (none here where I live) and now you got me wanting to travel to see for myself!
Great playin' brother, the amp sounds fantastic but it all comes down to who's playing into it! You're making a great amp sing! God bless and God bless Stevie too!
I have a boutique OD special by Tyler Amps, a little 20w replica. I love it. It’s the only amp I play. Special sound, if I ever get lucky enough to play a real dumble I’d. Be stoked. Dumbles are fantastic sounds.
got to play through one of these the other day at guitar center! not usually a cleans guy but definitely fell in love with the thing! I would be interested in seeing how something similar to an ODS plays.... (played through an SSS)
The Honeymoon continues. It’s still a stunning amp. I find I use the Plexi channel more, but the Bassman side is so powerful and it loves pedals. I think I bought the right model for me, but I also think you can’t go wrong either way. It’s Christmas time!
Matthew ask Sonny if you see him at the Dallas Guitar Show. He rarely brings his ODS out but when he does it has a sweet sound like no other. He is playing the 2nd weekend at N.O. Jazz Fest.
These absolutely suit you to a T. I remember watching a video of yours at Norman's (or Carter's?) where you mentioned (a saw a few) Two Rock amps and thinking that a TClean or something like this would be perfect for you. I even commented something like that, to which you replied "maybe one day" - and here we are. I love Taylor's work and there's a significant learning curve with this model but, depending on how you tackle it, it becomes incredibly fun. Hope to see more of this moving forward. Keep up the great work!
A SteelStringSinger is my "when I win the lottery" amp :) Love your playing. Reminds me very much of SRV. Also, I like that you are such a big fan of Leo's amps, I am very much a lover of his amps as well. He designed some of the most toneful circuits imaginable but didn't play a lick. :)
Matthew, love your music and the natural tone you've developed over the years; btw don't decrease your reverb settings ever. Amplified Nation amps are outstanding I've played for over 5 decades, please take that amp head to a large music store in a controlled room so you can match a proper cabinet to make that beast roar. Vintage amps are great, but cabinets that have vintage speakers on average are not so great. Thanks, excellent video!
If you want to stay clean at higher volume, add more power tubes and bigger irons. Pre amp tubes/valves are wired as cathode followers in order to prevent guitar signal loss when passing through a tone stack. Back in the 70s Status Quo went high power transistor amps and nobody noticed any difference!
The tone . . . perfection. The playing . . . beautiful.
the guitar too.....
guitars...@@maxwellelliott7963
Absolutely gorgeous tone!! The sustaine and bloom is off the charts. Thanks Mathew.

Matthew - you make any guitar / amp combo sound awesome… Thank you.
It never ceases to amaze me what an incredible player you are.

Yeah but these amplified nation steel singer is only 4 grand verses 400 grand ! And dam they sound pretty legit

Wouw, This totally new for me, Thank you Matt for bringing this up, Sounded great with the Gibson with P90s.
beautiful tones.
Just the first minute of you playing made my jaw drop! Bad ass sound and playing brother!
I could listen to that tone for a month of Sundays!! Incredible playing and tone. Thanks for sharing!!
Great playing. Really excellent. You demonstrated what that amp could do pretty well. Those sustains were beautiful.
Nice video. Thanks.
Wow! That's some of the best tones right there, Matthew!! Totally inspirational!! Thanks for the share!!
Great sustain/tight tones, I love that sound so much and you make it sing very nice.
That head, and bassman cab combo, along with that strat, are absolute killer. I could listen to that for hours
@CushtyCrow excellent point
I ABSOLUTELY love your new album! Can't wait for the next one!
Man thank you.
@@MatthewScottmusicwhere can I listen to your album
Wow, that is quite a sound. The sustain/controlled feedback is total magic. I like your playing, too. All these internet players that show how fast they can play the thing they've practiced for a year do nothing for me.
Love to see young people playing like this, and getting the same fascination with these tones, this kid is such a great player, he’s got it, he destroys the shredders in the first bar every time.
That amp sounds amazing Matthew, love the sound of the older instruments/equipment. Taylor sure is full of knowledge.
Sounds amazing, every note stings - you can feel it in your teeth. Awesome clarity for blues
Great vid on the Dumble sound. Pretty cool that each amp was a little different. Very informative!!
WOW THAT IS SOME TONE. FANTASTIC.
I played on the SSS from Amplified Nation and played on a Two Rock TS-1(which was also originally a clone of the Dumble). The Two Rock TS-1 completely blows everyone else I've tried outta water. Overall tones, Harmonics, bounce back, the way it takes pedals(it has the loop buffer like the dumbleator).. all in all the Two Rock is the most expensive of it's category but way more affordable than a Dumble... cheers
Miss the restore vids
You're going to like what's next 👊🏻🤟🏻
One of the best sounds heard on the tube since a while. Great playing.
Lovely tone on that Fender, beautiful clean tone gilded with a little gnarly sparkle. Winning!!!
Amazing walk through on the type of amp including an amazing history lesson. Much appreciated.
I can't imagine what it sounds like in person...but coming through the TH-cam sounds quite crystalline and the lows,mids,and highs ranges, sounds amazing....

Awesome tone w/ a great reverb.
Best I've heard you play and the amp sounds incredible!
Outstanding episode.
Forget the amp for a sec…I’m a long time subscriber…you are such a good guitar player! I really think that’s 90% of it tbh
Definitily "strat" is the sound....;) great video how ever

Stellar playing as always thanks Mathew
Lovely sound!
Sounds incredible
Freakin amazing tone great reverb … love it 🎉
Wow, you sound good no matter what video I see or what amp or guitars you use. Just... wow. Thanks.
You nailed the SRV sound in the first sound clip. I listened to everything I could get my hands on in the year or two before Stevie passed.

Super smooth!
Man, your playing is so good.
That bassman cab!!! Damn
I bought an Ampliphonix and Gain from Taylor last month and it’s unbelievable. Unbelievably delicious sounding.
After 10 months, may I ask your thoughts about? I am about to order 1, still torn about AG and the OR
The Honeymoon continues. It’s still a stunning amp. I find I use the Plexi channel more, but the Bassman side is so powerful and it loves pedals. I think I bought the right model for me, but I also think you can’t go wrong either way. It’s Christmas time!

Would you try a two rock signature I'm guessing thay would float your boat.
Great sound! Amazing rig, but the tone really comes from the players fingers. Much respect, your playing is sublime.
I bought the Amplified Nation Overdrive Reverb 50 watt head, and it sounds great clean or overdriven.
I have a Ceriatone OTS 20 and absolutely love it. It's based off of the Dumble Overdrive Special.
Really enjoyed hearing about this elusive amp.
