Robben Ford Discussion

That was the impression I had, that they were more of a Marshall sort of sound. This surprises me as my friend generally goes for more of the Dumble thing...so when he told me he was considering a DR- ...

.....OK, how about just some general impressions of these amps. Anybody have any opinions?

A buddy of mine has the chance to possibly pick up a DR-45 head for a really good price and I am helping him do a bit of research. Does anyone here know what Mp3 examples are what on the Fulton Webb w ...

Keep in mind, the entire reason that I started this thread was for a buddy of mine that is heavily influenced by Robben Ford and his playing. We have done shootouts with Brunos, Two Rocks and I am sur ...

Man, what a great link. I just went over to the Gear page and I could spend all day rummaging through all the info. on various things over there. Thanks for the link!

I should know the answer to this, but what the hell. Instead of asking about Dumble-esque amps, what was Dumble himself trying to capture when he started making amps? What did he see as the holy grail ...

Scott,

Thanks for the clips, I wil ...

Oklahoma City is still about a 7 hour trip of hard driving. I think he will have to get closer for me to make it. Thanks for the thoughts just the same. Enjoy the show, I am sure you will.

Holy smoke, what a great bunch of responses. This site is killer with all kinds of knowledge about. I will check out as many of the sound files as I can. I am researching for a buddy of mine more than ...

Thanks for the reply Dave. I was lucky enough to hear the Tony Bruno and the TwoRock side by side in a music store with a guitar player that is looking for a Dumble type sound. Actually this guy sound ...

Sorry if this is a repeat question, I looked and did not see this asked previously. I am curious as to if you (anyone here) have an opinion of who makes the closest Dumble sounding amp. I have had fai ...

Casey,

At least you are closer than I am as I am now in San Antonio Texas. I just e-mailed a buddy I used to work with when I lived in Seattle and told him he was a "chump" if he did not try and ma ...
