I think I would rather buy a house... you can at least write off the interest.

 

[jamn4jc]

Hmmm, pay off mortgage vs. buy an amplifier. It is nearly my birthday, let me check with the wife and get back with you.

.... and it doesn't even sound that good. Haha... just kidding. Why is this amp so expensive? Is it made out of gold or something? Powered by nuclear power?

This guitar would pair well with that amp: GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD (1958) - Elderly Instruments

 

[FractalAudio]

Yeah, I saw that. And it's kind of beat up too.

Does a real Dumble sound significantly different than the Axe II?

 

[maxdown]

The AxeFx comes pretty close, closer than everything in the digital domain I ever heard before.....

What am I missing here ?
Name aside, what actually justifies such a honker of a pricetag ?

Most superior tone, open sounding, singing overtones......and the fact, there are less than 300 of these legendary amps on the market since 1972

Thanks - I often wonder why things which have such a status, price aside are made in such limited amounts.
Would be interesting to know how much money they went for back in the day.
I'll google around !

they were never cheap to start with (if you could actually get one).

That black goop on the circuit board in the 2nd last pic isn't cheap :shock

That's the black tar heroin the Ebay poster was obviously smoking right before he listed the amp.

And this amp needs a cap job.

Would you replace the capacitors or would you rather keep it original to keep the value? Or will it just keep the value if the proper maintenance is done?
This would be a hard decision on a 75.000$ amp!

that's a horrible video review. Camera mic compresses the sound way too much. Sorry, those guys have no clue what a dumble is all about, when posting such an awful clip. Just my 2 cents
