Where is your dumbleator? (C-lator) somebody asked Larry Carlton.
Oh this piece of shit! Replied Larry and I totally agree, not because that Larry said so but because it really changes the tone of the good amp for worse, unless it’s a parallel one.
Probably it makes an average amp sound bit better.  Wink
I’ve tried three of them. Two made by bludotone end one by C which is very similar to bludo.
Get the parallel one or go for Suhr mini mix, fuchs Tube FX loop or Verbrator.


Hi Pick,

I've posted a parallel mod on ampgarage: http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13576 which you might like, if you prefer the brighter and harder tone.

However, I prefer the normal ' piece of shit' operation in series mode :-)  Its like i a studio - where you put guitar and bass through an LA2 tube compressor and it'll sound larger than life. IMO. In my opinion the Dumblelator is mandatory, if you want smooth Robben Ford tones out of these amps.

Pickmaster, you are able to get great tones without the D-lator, but thats due to your skills and not so much the gear, IMHO. ;-)

I actually liked Larry's tones much better back in mid 80s when he used the 'piece of shit' and he changed guitar to a vally arts strat, check out the clips on youtube.

At ampgarage people (Ayan and Dogears) claim taht larry carlton has 'lost' his tone - Dumblelator missing???  Wink


"Piece-of-shit" tone  Smiley:

 
 
 

New - no "Piece-of-shit"      Huh?

Hey fellows, I’m just kiddn’ ya.  Grin
Just stirring a shit little bit to make forum more alive, looking who’s gonna throw stones at me Tongue.
Probably I’ve got TAG’s syndrome. Not surprising, spending to much time on the amp garage forum.
Yes C-lator is OK, just make sure you have good nonmicrophonic tube.

Erwin,  I have 68 – 0 – 120pf  caps with a three way toggle on the master pot my man. Wink

Be cool   Cool guys, laugh a lot – good for the health.
Cheers

actually i was never looking for that Robben Ford tone  Grin
I'm looking for a really open and clear sound.
(I'm playing mostly blues in the style of SRV, JM Trio, etc.)

Maybe it'd be better if you know my setup:

Strat/ES-335 -> modded Crybaby -> Baja tech Das Fuzz -> Barber LTD -> Ollmann Tube Blaster (german boutique tube booster) -> Amp Input(OTS S&M) -> LXP-1 Stereo outputs to a) -> OTS return (Speaker: G12-65 heritage)
                         b) -> an old Echolette Leslie (it's pretty bright)

When John Mayer had his ODS in his rig he was using a D-lator with both his 100w EL34 HRM Dumble Overdrive Special & 100w Two Rock Sterling Signature

 This is his grail tone if he ever had one Smiley IMO
