CRYSTAL LATTICE DUMBLE PROFESSIONAL

Howard Dumble did some interviews and advertisements in the 80s-but few people knew about him, even in the professional music community. Much of the company's PR over the years has been word of mouth. Dumble became known as a tube electronics master, and his high end clientele gained him a reputation as a reclusive amplifier tech to the stars. Building to order only (even building his own speaker cabinets by hand), his amps gained a positive reputation and became highly sought after by professional musicians. Dumble, however, was not interested in selling amplifiers in greater numbers, but focused solely on getting the best possible sound. By the late 1970s, he was modifying and building high-gain amps in the way that Randall Smith of Mesa Boogie, and others did. Before he was 21, Mosrite, in Santa Cruz, hired Dumble to build a special line of Amplifiers for The Ventures. Howard Alexander Dumble began modifying Fender tweed and blackface amplifiers in 1963. Carlos Santana and Ben Harper, for example, both bought their first Dumble used, and had Dumble refurbish the amp for their particular playing styles.

Dumble serviced and refurbished his original amplifiers for a fee, and many players would buy used Dumble amplifiers and have Dumble refurbish them. He priced them similarly to the used market to dissuade resale. ĭumble built two or three amplifiers per year, primarily for celebrity musicians and studios. In 2012, Vintage Guitar magazine described the Dumble Overdrive Special as the most valuable in the product line, with used amplifiers fetching between $70,000 and $150,000. Because of this, Dumble amplifiers are the most expensive boutique amplifiers on the used market, and prices have risen rapidly. In the one-person operation, Alexander 'Howard' Dumble (J– January 16, 2022) made each amp personally.
