My New Dumblicious Pedal
Posted: Sat Aug 12, 2023 9:51 am
When I saw the thread by @andrewsrea about his new Dumblicious pedal my interest was piqued. My band mate had given me a pedal to try out, the Vertex Ultra Phonix. It was supposed to be "Dumble-like". I was really liking it so I knew I must get one of Andrew's creations. I gigged with it Thursday night and last night. This pedal is everything Andrew said it was. After all these years of using a Tube Screamer for lead tones I am switching to the Dumblicious. The TS will be relegated to crunch rhythm tone. My little Hotone Blues has been my rhythm crunch pedal for years and now it will come off the board entirely. This morning when I took this pic I realized there was no TS on the board for the first time in a couple of centuries so I have to put it back.
Back to the pedal. This pedal is so smooth, rich and warm, very organic. You guys know I am a tube tone guy. I still need to play with all the switches and settings to see what it can do but so far so good. The first thing I noticed is even with the gain cranked this pedal is still pretty quiet. I wish I knew how to put into words what it sounds like but trust me it is awesome. I suck at wording reviews so I will just say it sounds like giant beautiful boobs floating across the sky like clouds. Andrew is a pleasure to deal with. He sent explicit details all about what the switches do, etc. Obviously he is a master at this sort of thing. All I know is, this is the best drive pedal I have ever owned and I am gluing it to the board. You should get yourself one.
