Somebody mentioned a P90 535 wish list .. I'd add this one to the please make it wish list, wired with a blend knob

My friend that I play guitar with just bought one of those, basically exactly like the one Skydog has. His friend put on some better pickups - maybe the 225 Parsons ones, and it plays pretty well. he likes it and plays it at our band practices. He said it was set up decent and the hardware and pots etc. are not too bad. I played it and it didn't seem bad at all.

UA like most of us is aware of the uniqueness of each of Dumble's amps, they have a large library of tone permutations available .. for me. Having been a sound man for 40+ years, I just dial in a good tone and smile. Dumble's have a reputation for liking to be dimed, I'm more of clean Hi-Fi base tone guy and play at 85 db or lower the majority of the time .. at 71 I'd like to keep my hearing a while longer. I'm very happy with the clarity the pedal gives .

Yeah, there's no such thing as a, "Dumble". If Dumble didn't make or rebuild it for you, specifically, it's not YOUR Dumble, it will always be the amp Dumble built for the artist he built it for. There are many amps built by Alexander Dumble and they're all different. That's no judgement on the quality of this particular pedal. It might be great. And Mr. Dumble built some pedals too...

The standard run 357 had thinner wings and the slim 60’s one piece mahogany necks.

New favorite pedal, at least for today. Bought used and as with many Lovepedals, no control labels and no manual. Couldn’t find a manual on line either. But - Simple to dial in once you figure out which dial does what. Works great in front of my Mesa California Tweed 40 at low gain (both pedal and amp) for “always on” tone enhancer then a a little hair and grit as you dial up the guitar volume and dig in a little. With guitar volume at 10 - Doesn’t take much pedal gain to get a nice dark and complex breakup kind of like the lead guitar part on the Beatles “I Want You” from Abbey Road. Nice not expensive, fancy or complicated “amp in a box” for a pretty good approximation of Black Panel Deluxe Reverb base tone and breakup. No reverb on the pedal, but my amp has that, so no problem. Add a little delay and it is great clean for jazz and rhythm playing, dime the guitar volume and play a little more aggressively (doesn't take much) and you’ve got a great lead tone with some hair around the edges and more sustain. Definitely a keeper. I’ve got a Greer Lightspeed on the way and thinking to pair the two together and see if there is good synergy between them or maybe run them separately for different flavors, or both.

I put a Duncan JB in the bridge position last night and discovered that it is a mahogany body with a carved maple cap that has the Ash veneer on top of that. I should have taken a pic. I forgot. lol. 😆

I have been using my Iridium as a direct into an interface, either recording, or at our jams where everything except drums are direct (it's a the drummer's house anyway). Usually on the Deluxe Reverb setting. I don't think I've ever even plugged it into an amp. I'll probably take it off the pedal board when I come to PSP. I could put my EHX B9 organ pedal there!

Never sell. My youngest daughter has dibs on it.
