Amplifier Discussion / Legendary Amplifier Insanity
October 22, 2017, 07:49:35 AM
In over 50 years playing professionally I have seen a lot of things and heard a lot of myths about amplifier tone, what such and such a brand of amp can do where another one can't, etc, etc. I have seen musicians both Pro and Am as well as semi-Pro and hobbyist pay excessive amounts for supposedly legendary guitars, amps, pedals and accessories but this ad for one I came across by accident on Reverb.COM takes the cake.

I know Dumble makes good quality amps, as do Mesa, Marshall, Fender and many other manufacturers but seriously $115,000 (yes that's the asking price) for a 60w Dumble with 1 x 12" speaker is beyond belief. Whether it's tube or solid state is not the issue, nor is whether it is hand-made with p2p wiring and NOS "matched" valves/tubes.

What could it possibly have in it that would make it worth even 1/5th of that price is inconceivable.
