Yes it is the ultra of Dumble style OD pedals. It quite literary attempts to create Robben Ford's tone on Ch.1 and Eric Johnson's on Ch.2.
The layout is straightforward with volume, tone and gain. The lack of extra EQ I think is because the
voicings are fixed internally to get as dead onto the two sounds as possible.The tone control is primarily to brighten or darken the sound of your amp to give it a basic Dumble coloration. It makes a lot of sense as it is not a pedal designed to create your own tone but that of a true Dumble.
That said is does have a switch 'comp' to create more saturation and another with 2 voicings. Handmade in Italy this kind of quality and detail does not come cheap.
CONCLUSION
The first Dumble started life as a modified Fender Deluxe amp. When you bought one you would visit Dumble in person and often several times and the basic design would be altered un it was perfect for you. The result is that no two Dumbles are alike. So literally trying to copy 2 specific Dumble owners sounds makes a lot of sense.
I am not a fan of either player or the Dumble sound so I can not comment on how well this pedal captures the tone. I can only say that in spite of the price these pedals sell very, very well.
