This is for Nik, in case he missed it in the Suggestions area.

Please!

1) stereo returns in the effects loop
2) speaker emulation on stereo record OUT

Now about the "voicing" original ODS, HRM, Bluesmaster?

Great product idea, but you might be dissapointed by the sound of a preamp, through other poweramps/speakers. IMO the Dumble poweramp and EV12L or 12G65s are an integrated part of the sound.

Disagree totally. The preamp is the sound of the circuit. The dumble power amp ain't significantly different than a fender. Ethos proves it by getting dumble sounds out of a jfet based "umble" preamp.

I agree, although "speaker emulation" might have some bearing on tone.

I know many people on the Gear Page think as I. A Class D style tube preamp would be the greatest invention since the bread slicer.

I heard the ZenDrive II (tube) pedal the other day. Very nice sound for $250. Nik should make something like that, for $125!!!! Cheesy

Which is why Dumble himself 'invented' it back in the 80s  Tongue

No, speaker emulation on that is just a lowpass filter. Many people on TGP are delusional too. Cheesy

The dumble sound is in the preamp. People can think what they want. People on TGP routinely think that something's better just because it costs more.

Look at the schematics. The power section has few significant differences from what fender or marshall has done.

I take it the lower unit is a preamp?  I think Dr Nik could do a much better job than that, with no goofy external Dumbleator needed.  Hopefully for aesthetics, he'd turn to some Boogie preamps for ideas.

You are not very respectfull towards the person, who invented the amps we are discussing on this forum.
Your remarks are downright superficial and shallow. And your reference to Nik as 'Dr. Nik' is a bit offensive as well, Nik didn't invent anything, but gave us Dumble amps really cheap, which is fine but not worthy of a Doctors degree.

Yes, let's all treat Howard Dumble like the diety he really is.

Dr Nik is a character on The Simpsons. Since you are devoid of a sense of humor, I'm sure that's not one of your favorite shows.

Hey, you got me with the old "i before e, except after c" exception.

It's DEITY. Sorry for any confusion. Since the advent of spell checkers, I'm not the spelling bee champ I was in the 7th grade.
