There are a lot of R.F./Dumble-style amp devotees on the Gear Page forum. And from what I've read recently there, both Robben and Larry also use Two Rocks. However, they sometimes have to use rented backline amps which usually turn out to be Twin Reverbs and sometimes Deluxe Reverbs and Super Reverbs. Mostly the RI models because they're relatively cheap and easy to find. Just for your (further) information there are getting to be quite a number of "Dumble-style" amps to choose from that will pretty much cop the Dumble tone and then some for far less money than the cost of a Dumble. Some examples are: Two Rock, Fuchs, Glaswerks, Bludotone, Carol Ann, D'lite, and some others that escape my memory at the moment. All are top notch amps if you are a fan of that style of tone. Also, from what I've read, one of the cheapest of the bunch, the D'lite at a little over $2000., is one of the best of the bunch. You used to be able to get the amp in kit form but it is now only offered as a complete amp. That's probably more info. than what you wanted. Welcome to the forum.
