My friend Robert brought over his Dumble today. Its a 1971 Dumble Special 150W head. It has two channels a volume, treble, middle, bass, and seemingly pointless accent. Both channels have a High and Low Boost. Its been modded to have a master volume and the volume nob can be pulled out to blend both channels. Heres some pictures

I am running it through a 2x12 cabinet and I think that its overpowering them. The amp is extremely loud but it does have the master volume so that helps. The cleans are really good and clear but as for the overdrive it sounds pretty farty and nasaly unless the volume is on ten then it sounds like a marshall. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to play through some cabinets that are more apt to handle that much power then i will write about it.

I went to Val King's yesterday and he let me borrow a 1x15 cab. The sound difference was unbelievable! I also just for fun hooked up my Zendrive and I was getting serious ODS tone!! I also played through a 2x12 that sounded really good to (A Weber ceramic and a Jensen AlNiCo), and after that I played through a 4x12 loaded with some g1265's but the 2x12 sounded better.
