chunkmonk

Interested in getting hold of Dumble style OD pedal such as a Zendrive or similar....

There are a couple of Mad Professor Simbal pedals on here at the moment -I don't think there is any better for that sound 
-great vid on youtube of a Swedish guy playing one alongside his real Dumble -pretty identical

equalsql

Yes indeed.
What you need is my Simbal

And what I need is that big FAT commission you promised me

You really don't get much closer than this...

Simble Overdrive vs. real Dumble: Part 2 shootout by Marko Karhu

Duration 3:04

It is a truly great pedal, I have one myself.

Now just go and PM @equalsql (if you haven't already) and take advantage of his moment of temporary insanity (and great price IMO) and say "yes please"

That is the vid I was talking about

J Rockett's The dude is well worth a look. You can dial in the amount of low kids, very useful for playing through different amps. Plenty of gain but superb at lower gain levels.

The Simble is the one you want mate

Marshall

...or maybe a Jetter GS124

I have a Mojo Hand DMBL available. I've tried the Zendrive, Zenkudo and against my Hedgehog amp, this for me was the closest.

I have a DopeFx Black Lotus. £45 delivered?

ZenDrive / Zenkudo - these will absolutely do the Robben Ford/Larry Carlton sort of tone - not sure what you're after (if anything else).

Give an Xotic ac booster a chance

As someone who spent ten years or more gigging with firstly a Hermida Zendrive and then an Ethos OD I find that particular comparison video really interesting and more relevant than most You Tube Dum8le pedal shoot-outs. I can certainly hear the difference between amp and pedal and it reconfirms to me that the Dumble ODS has a very identifiable and unique sound quality that is not 100% recreated in any other amp or pedal (despite what some might have you believe).

With that in mind I'm still  impressed with how close the Simble gets even if it does not sound identical. I believe it's close enough to satisfy most guitarists wanting that particular sound at a fraction of the Dumble ODS cost. But the other pedals mentioned above and in the Mick & Dan vid should also do that so it comes down to personal preference. I settled on the Ethos simply because it was a more flexible unit sound-wise with no discernible background noise, not because it sounded any more Dumble-esque than the Zendrive -  or the Simble for that matter.

If you are not sure, ask the audience

I've got an immaculate red dot Lovepedal Zendrive that you might be able to persuade me to part with.  Home use only, no velcro. The red version has slightly higher gain than the traditional black and white one. I have a handwired eternity burst being built by Sean at Lovepedal so I am going to ha veto start being ruthless about what's staying on the board so to speak.

I've got a Jetter GS124 which sounds simply splendid especially if you want that saturated Dumble type tone

Ive got a tanabe zenkudo pedal- as used by Larry Carlton when he doesnt have his dumble.
