This thing is being sold in Baltimore for 15k.

What is it?

well I know Dumble amps can easily command $15k, and more, since many view them as the epitome of amp design, like, the absolute pinnacle, and he made very few of them. but yeah, a rackmount box, huh? I'm guessing it doesn't sell for that much. who knows. supreme voodoo commmands quite a pretty penny sometimes.

I would boycott a 'Supreme Voodoo' show.

Also, I've seen several old Fender Twins and the like, modded to Dumble specs for only 1000-2000 dollars.

No amp is worth 15k, nevermind a mystery box.

well the thing about Dumble is, he gobs up the innards of his amps with gooey shit so you can't see what the components are or the circuit or anything, and if you try and un-goo it, it destroys it. which you don't wanna do to a $15k amp. or I dunno, maybe you do.

so if that twin wasn't modded by the man himself, there's no guarantee it's anything like his magic amps made of unicorn sperm.

I do. Mainly for said unicorn sperm.

While looking for Dumble's box, I spotted this on Baltimore's Craigslist :

I've hard about this dumble shit amps from a friend at work. what you're saying is really interesting. I would expect a life time warranty on a 15k amp. Now, if something went wrong with the amp, how is this dumble guy fixing it? i mean, if he's ungooing the amp, it would be destroyed.

btw, this friend from work heard those amps and he says they're nothing special.

Of course when I introduce my line of amps, they will cost this much too.

Wouldn't a cat-scan work? To reveal the Dumble Amp innards? Turn it on, let it kick ass for a few hours, unplug it and cat-scan it.

I heard one years ago. I wasn't that impressed. The only thing I really remember about was the idiot showing it to me turned it up way to loud, then hit a chord. And I just got out of there. Bee line f6r the door.
