Heard from Nik that mine will be here within two weeks. He's waiting on a delivery of 0.1uf caps to finish a batch of Overtones. I can't wait to hear her as I've been "Dumble-less" since selling a Bruno Super 100 a few years ago (outside brief stints with a Zendrive and an Ethos OD). I'm also building an Isolation Cabinet to play it and a Ceriatone Trainwreck through (details here -> http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=263106&highlight=isolation).

Nice clips Marin...
Playing and tone in great !
-sami

Hey...thanks for sharing the clips!!!  I like the mids that the Anderson adds versus the Strat.  Other than more gain, how different were the amp settings?  Also, have you played with the internal trim pots yet?

thanks!

...and which speaker is it?

Marin,

  Soon.

  We're shipping em as soon as we can. We can only do 3 per week it seems, cant go any faster than that, we tried.

  And new cabs just arrived. Finally, these look real good, I think and should be the final.

  I should have pics very soon, with amp inside cab. Do check Monday, latest, if anybody is interested.

  And footswitches! Still need to wire em all up, as the enclosure is tolexed wood as well and a batch just also arrived.

Hi Marin:

There are three internal trimmers inside the chassis. Two blue and one black with a whiter center. If you are looking into the chassis from the front of the amp, the BLUE trimmer on the far left (on a small board actually mounted on the left side of the chassis) is for the FET channel and Nik states that should be left "high" which is at least at 12:00 and that is how mine came set from the factory. (I haven't experimented with the FET input yet by the way) Moving to the right from the first BLUE trimmer, you'll discover another BLUE trimmer that is on the MAIN circuit board and is located just below and slightly to the left of the second pre amp tube socket (V2). This is the OD trimmer. It is very easy to adjust, (small slotted screwdriver will do) and mine came set (stock) from Nik at 9:00. (basically the slot was straight across) The OD trimmer has a HUGE impact on the tone, volume, and overall vibe of the OD channel. Set too low, (I found 9:00 o'clock too low for my ears/tastes) the OD channel sounds thin and anemic, (even with humbuckers), at volume levels that will get you invited back to many a gig, but the OD channel does seem to come to life a bit at that setting if in fact you do CRANK up the amp, but holy crap is it loud when you do that. Set too high, and the OD channel comes ROARING to life at pretty much any volume, but it VERY QUICKLY moves away from Dumblesque heaven and into Marshall mayhem in a big hurry. Don't get me wrong, the amp sounds great a pretty much any OD trimmer setting (VERY versatile) but it does take some time to dial in the OD channel using the OD trimmer, level, ratio, volume and master volume as well as tone contols set to taste obviously. To answer your question about does the amp have to be cranked or not. It does sound pretty spectacular at the higher volumes, and to my ears, it sounds MUCH closer to the RF stuff I'm used to playing with the OD trimmer set just below 10:00 o'clock and the amp "up" a bit, than it does at lower volumes with the OD trimmer set to say 11:00 o'clock or so. VERY fine line on the OD channel between slightly anemic, right on loud, proud, RF stuff with just the perfect amount of Dumble rumble, and over the top fizzy, buzzy Marshall stuff.
The last trimmer is the black one with the white center, and that sets the balance for the phase inverter, (V3) and it's located on the far right of the main board. Nik stated this should be adjusted when only using a scope and is best left at 12:00 so that both sides of the PI are balanced.
I tried the Lexicon PCM-70 VERY briefly in the loop, but I have it all set up for use with my Ulbrick Sound Stadium 80 Special head that has a world class tube buffered effects loop with send and return, so for obvious reasons, it didn't sound very good in the passive effects loop of the Overtone Special. I have a Rodenberg Flexloop 3D (basically a Dumbleator) on the way, and when that arrives I'll revisit the Lexicon. I'm actually quite surprised how good this amp sounds "dry", and that to me is the mark of a good/great sounding amp. It doesn't needs effects to sound good/great. More to come.

I've been planning to but I haven't been able to get any time to get in to my buddies studio.  Bedroom recording sounds good but it does the amp no justice not fired up.  I'm off to Hawaii for a couple weeks so after that for sure....ok?

I'm referring to the Dumble's clips here:

  Marinblues, I guess this Overtone will be a little bit different from the tone you're thinking about.
I totally agree with what ChrisL is saying, if you really want to listen to a similar amp to Overtone probably  the Fuchs Train 45 is closer.  It doesn't have the creamy sustained dumblish tone from the ODS, or to tell it better, as ChrisL do, we aren't able to get that tone.

 I'm so happy there is another Overtone user and moreover owner of a D'lite who is getting same tones as me, otherwise it would have been a strange feeling to have a Dumble but not the Dumble tone.
 As someone suggested the speakers can do a lot for it, maybe a low headroom speaker is much more suitable for Carlton's tone.
