10 Dumble Overdrive specials. Then I would sell them and buy a house. At $25,000 a piece, why the hell not. Or at the very least, I'd pay off my student loan.

One is good for me

Brian Setzer has two...this one is mine.

 

[Dani Pace]

Of the 13 I have, my Fender Twin (evil twin) gets the most use of any of them. My Fender Pro 180 gets used a lot too (not bad for a solid state.) Fender Princeton Chorus gets a bit of use and Fender Bassman gets turned on fairly often. Ibanez GX 60, vox AC 30, Carvin SX 200, Marshall 30 watt, and Kallamazoo M2 all get used occasionaly. The rest are off brand practice amps.

I have three OK amps - a '78 Marshall Superbass MkII for tube, a Jade Clubman 80w for solid state and a tiny Pignose for fun & some great sounds.
What I don't have is a good guitar cab. I play through a 200W Etone single cone box & a no name homemade cab that has 2 200w cones in it but I don't know if they're in series or parallel.
I need a little cab with a nice guitar speaker in it.

You should have seen the techs at Trading Musician in Seattle drool when I brought it in for appraisal. It's a pat.pend., it's for looks, my Delux Hot Rod is for work.

You know I never knew about the dumble overdrive special till this thread and I listen to some clips. I don't get why its so expensive. It certainly sounds good but not 50k good. What gives?

 

[suprstar]

Marshall Plexi
Marshall JCM 800
Mesa Dual Rectifier
Dr. Z Mazerati 38
Fender twin
Fender Blackface
Orange something-or-other (id have to research)
Crate BV300 (dont laugh.. I played one once and thought it sounded awesome)

I'd have to do some research before I picked the rest.

 

[Riffmaster]

Mesa Boogie Road King
Orignal Fender Bassman
Marshall JCM 800
Randall(the ones w/interchangable tube sets)
Matchless DC30

I think it's all about supply and demand. Dumble has been building amps for over 40 years, and there are only a few hundred out there. Add to that the fact that they are built for famous or otherwise very reputable players, and you get amps with near zero supply. The amps sound pretty darn good, are built like tanks, and many famous or otherwise very reputable players use them. Now your demand is high. Low supply + high demand = high price, and it's magnified in this case by a factor of approximately 40,000, which is the cosmological constant of guitar player neuroticism.

There are a number of pretty good clones out there. Even those can be pretty pricy unless you build a kit.

EDIT: Trainwrecks are the same way, except there are far fewer and they are no longer being built. I think the guy who built them passed away.
