J ROCKETT AUDIO|THE DUDE v.2
$200.00 USD |
I literally hated it.
I do have their Immortal Echo a small analog delay. It is is very bright and could pass as a digital delay.
I use it when I fell I need a digital delay vibe and it works quite well.
The DUDE is based on The Reverend 'Boutique' guitar Amp's Kingsnake This is a take
on a particular one off Dumble amp. So the pedal is a copy of a copy, lol.
Since every Dumble was a one off it may or may not sound like it, lol. Robben Ford
and Larry Charltion are said to have one. Both these guys own a real Dumble which I am sure is used to record. I expect the Reverend is used to gig. Even this means very
little since these guy often use just a Fender as they travel without an amp and
use what is provided by the guy that booked them at a gig.
The layout is Level, Blend (of clean and dirt) Treble and Bass.
CONCLUSION
It is a D-in-a-Box. Definitely 'sort of'. It does have a usableand different sound. It is medium gain sound with a mellowtone. The cleans mixed in definitely adds to a very niceclarity to the tone.
As a Dumble, would you recommend the OneControl Golden Acorn ?
ReplyDeleteI am not the guy to ask. First there are no 2 real Dumble amps the same and no two Dumble pedals the same. On the whole I can only really be really close on an Amp-in-a -Box because I can at minimum compare it to the actual amp it is claims it sounds like. I find in general if a pedal says it has a Dumble it goes for a hot rodded Fender with added headroom. The real Dumble used the schematic of a Bassman as it's starting point. The Dumble amp had a lot more headroom so mixing in some cleans creates that illusion on a pedal. I am not saying not to buy one. I have bought but sold a few but just get one you like.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Golden Acorn more than a Lovepedal/Hermida Black Majik Zen Drive, almost as much as a Wampler Super Ecstasy/Euphoria.
ReplyDeleteThe Golden Acorn is a fine pedal. Haven't played any Dumble amps but amongst D-style pedals it's really nice.
Thanks!
