Fuchs ODS SLX Concert 75 - Dumble inspired goodness
This profile set is from a 2013 Fuchs ODS SLX Concert 75. The amp Fuchs modded was a 1980s Paul Rivera designed Fender Concert amp. Please note that many original Dumbles used stock Fender transformers and this amp has great iron. It's an amp that Fuchs recommends for mods.
The Fuchs amp is based on Dumble designs. The clean channel profiles do a great blues tone, and have great sustain and are touch sensitive. Overdrive profiles are much higher gain, yet because of the Dumble inspired design it's not the typical high gain Marshall sound. Try rolling the volume back on all profiles, this amp is incredibly responsive and has a very unique tone.
Cabinet used as a 1973 Marshall straight cab loaded with stock Celestions with Pulsonic cones.

Here are a few reviews from folks who own this profile set.
All the demos over the years of the 'Dumble' tone, or close to that tone...this is it right here.
I have my doubts as to whether any 'other' digital device can nail a tone quite as authentic as this.
It's seriously my favorite amp profile. On some of them I've dialed back the gain a little and it sounds amazing....great dynamics!
