That head cab looks fantastic with the grill cloth on the front panel.
Was it just as simple as attaching the grill cloth to the existing piece of wood or did you have to sand the adges down a bit?

django8,
Thanks man i checked a few videos out on there and the amp sounds fairly nice. For the tones im looking for ive been battling with the idea of getting:
1. The overtone
2. A vintage Fender Twin or Super Reverb with a Keeley modded TS808.
I suppose getting all of the above isn't an option??  |

As one who will not tweak or mod a thing on my amp because I couldn't be happier with it...I have a rant!
I have read this thread and some of the responses and to be honest it stirkes me a little like the bear with the sore backside.
I have collected a few very nice guitars in my time and was thrilled to get an amp that is their equal. The Overtone is. Thanks to Nik and all on this board who were involved.
Having said that...I thought the whole point of forums to to learn, teach, share information and generally share some common passions. Music is one of mine. While I can't tweak a night lite without instructions and half a day, I do know tone.
Some of us here are not learned in the way of electronics, nor any of the operational functions of an amp. Nor do we have time to become students of amp technology...just plug me in and make it sing is the goal. To suggest that our unlearned questions and discussions are somehow inapproriate or need not be offered until one does "research" so they can bring an educated discussion to the table of the "intellegent ones" is pure snobbery and is much worse that newbie questions. If you aren't inclined to answer, don't.
While I admire the knowledge and abilities of several of you on this board, to suggest perimeters for posting follow guidelines only gurus can understand is a bit, well I think Nathan used the correct word. Some of us here are just not as educated in this particular area. I have a few areas of expertise myself and could confound many here if I used the lingo inherent to the disciplines. That ability does not make me smarter or better...just educated in that discipline. I have never been offended because someone wanted me to clarify, educate or correct term usage. I sincerely do not understand the angst over having an opportunity to help someone.
...people come here and ask for information because you know the answers.
Think about it.
Very well put... I use forums as a means of research... |

Chris,
I hear ya, and as one of the people who has asked "will it get this tone" etc, I would like to clarify that I do expect to have to tweak it, that's half the fun isn't it?
The reason I've been asking is that, as I'm sure you'll appreciate, you can only tweak an amp so far, and I didn't want to order an OTS if I wasn't going to be able to get it to where I want it.
I guess we all you a big thanks for being one of the people who encouraged Nik to get this great amp off the ground.
I can't wait til I get to order mine (in kit form) and put it together....test it....change things....test it....change more things.... well you get the drift!!

Sounds like you're after the same tone as I am and I think you'd be more than happy with the OTS.
I'm having to save for mine, and it's taking forever due to various other things that keep coming up (my car seems to not want me to have a new amp - new exhaust, tires, brakes etc and that's just in the last 3 months!!) but I'm dead set on an OTS and am confident that with a few mods I can get as close as my ears can tell (and as close as you can get without spending Two Rock money) to the John Mayer tone.
By the by, which album's tone do you like best, because from what I've read (which is a lot!!) on Heavier Things he almost exclusively used an original Dumble for all the electric guitar tones.
Also, see my thread "How Fender can the OTS get?"... it covers the same sort of ground as here.
A lot of the people on here seem to be searching for that Robben Ford tone, which is a great tone no mistake, but it seems to me that the OTS is capable of a LOT more, especially once you take into account the mods that are possible.

Hey does anyone know which other dumble clones have the HRM tonestacks?? Im trying to learn the difference tonewise between the standard and HRM cheers I'd like to know this too. Are Two Rock's, for instance, based on HRM or non-HRM?? |

Hi there, I heard that his heads were made from Carbon Fibre so if thats true its probably very expensive to have made!
No it's tolex, but a carbon fibre look tolex, and even Two Rock don't offer it any more... |

Hi all, I'm new around here and very excited about this amp/forum. Ordered my OTS yesterday morning and got word that it shipped today! Of course, I ordered kit w/ the boards already done for me. Now for the wait!
Well that settles it, I'll be ordering the kit and either having a go myself or paying someone local to build it...am not patient enough to wait 3 months!! |
