Well I'm not a authority on this subject. I 've done my research offered by the authorities on the subject.

Same here...
Hell, I haven't even seen a Dumble amp in person.  Huh?

...well I have but it was screaming so loud and I didn't dare to come any closer... and besides, a great man was playing it, so I couldn't open it a take a look. Grin

 The Clean on my BM is super fat @ bedroom levels and seems to get fatter when @ gig level.

 I am suffice with how it sounds @ bedroom levels although . I prefer to record with it @  bedroom levels too.

 My OD changes a little (in a good way) when @ gig levels.

 It seems that the more I go past noon on the master (which is ooober loud LOL)
  the more the clean channel gets dirty (which by then the Power section is working   
  pretty F'in hard) and the OD seems to get more 3D + bloomy.  I rarely go past noon though. 
 
 With my amp mic'ed @ gigs I usually set my amp this way:

 Clean Vol between 1 to 3:00 / Master Vol @ 10:30
 OD drive @ 1 to 3:00 / OD Master Vol @ 11:00

 My amp is extremely loud @ this point but I prefer it this way. I will sometimes change to accommodate different venues. I use a lot of pedals too though. 

 At home I use the settings above, just the masters don't get past 8:00 though Smiley

With humbuckers (I use the Rio Grande Texas BBQ set in all my guitars) you can get decent tone at lower volumes, but as with any tube amp, the power tubes yearn to SHOUT!!!

I use my Kleinulator as sort of an attenuator to get more from my amp yet send less to the bartenders ears.  They like that!  To get the great sustain/feedback, it has to be somewhat loud, but not ear piercing. 

I've never had my S&M volume past 3 for a gig, and that was outdoors.  My OTS I've had up to 4 on outside gigs but normally between 1-2 in bars....
