Talk about taking leave of your senses:
Last I checked on Ebay, an original Dumble OD Special was listing at well over $100K.
There's couple of clones out there tonight at $4,250, which is sorta, kind'a right, considering the way new guitar amps at any price are slopped together.
But there is no amplifier on earth, no matter how good it sounds because of how it's put together that's worth $100K.
I can clone one for about $1500. And that, or one of Ken Fischer's Trainwreck amps is on my to do list this coming summer.
It's a wooden box, tubes, transformers, caps, resistors, potentiometers and wires.
But there are people who'll pay the $100K.
And the guitar he's playing, a Fender Elite, is just the Fender Custom shop version of a Les Paul.
Artist Endorsements and all.
