This is one amp most of us won't have the privilege of hearing or playing on in our lifetime, so it's hard to ask anyone else of their impression besides the big kahuna himself.
Back during some older firmware long ago in the year 2013 Cliff mentioned how there was something special about a real Dumble. Not wanting to misquote based on memory I dug it up...
My question is now with G3 upon us if that magic has been captured from the Dumble, and if that sweet something all the other clones can't manage to claim is found in the Dumble model that's in the Axe-Fx.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting his initial meaning, but after I first read that I had always wondered if the Dumble's special sekret sawse had been at the time also hard to place in the modeling. Maybe I'm wrong on that front, but I'm still curious to hear his impression having the modeling improvements come this far, and likely never going to have the chance to compare myself. It's a very curious amp because of that.
Just in case: not looking to get off topic about whether it matters. It's not a thread about it being a big deal on how close it is or isn't, but looking for some honest comparison talks for anyone whose curious and will also never get the chance to play one IRL.

fractalaudio said:I hate to admit it but there is something special about a real Dumble. I don't know what it is but there is something in the voicing. The various clones I have are cool and have their own thing going but they don't sound like the Dumble. Hard amp to play though. Very unforgiving but tremendous clarity.
