Songs whose original tone used a Dumble Overdrive Special. Don’t own one? GuitarToneAdapt re-creates the sound on the amp and rig you actually have.
The Dumble Overdrive Special is the mythical boutique amp — only a few hundred were ever hand-built — behind the singing, touch-sensitive overdrive of John Mayer, Robben Ford and Larry Carlton. It’s smooth, dynamic and vocal, cleaning up instantly with your guitar’s volume. Matching a Dumble tone is about a warm, harmonically-rich, mid-focused overdrive that responds to your picking rather than raw gain.
