Every time I recieve a new amp I doccument the opening process.
Kinda like X-Mas pictures...but in this case, July.

Here is a masterpiece of amplification made by Tommy Cougar, of Custom by Cougar fame.

It's based on the Dumble ODS platform, along with many options to "shape the sound". For instance, you can add pedals in front of the amp...some Dumbles don't like pedals in front of them!

All kinds of cool stuff awaits in this amp.

I'm using a Stagecraft Amplification 2x12 Dumble style cabinet. The best 2x12 I've played. Hands down. Solid as a Rock, and so musicial. Killer.

And I'm finishing out the recording, with a 1950 Fender Telecaster RI and a TC G Sharp for verb and ducked delay like a 2290.

EDIT-09-05-2009. After a week with this amplifier, I am floored. This amp has SO MANY TONES in it, it's crazy. I can go from LC/RF smooth tones, all the way to Shred. In one package. INSANE! I'm so close to selling off the Marshall collection...but...what would I spend the money on?


BTW- Tommy does know ***...jus sayin...

I know that I can be blind, but is there a clip or vid?

Congrats on the amp.

That sounded very cool Andy!! That tone fit your playing like a glove.

[andybaylor]

That tone fit your playing like a glove.

Thanks Mark.

When Tommy was building the amp, he did his research by watching other videos of mine...and got a feel for my playing. Edit

Just like good builder does with his customers.

It's a true custom amp, built for me.

Not an assembly line product that claims to be "custom made"...

Thanks trap. TC does a great job building an amp. The tone kinda makes you play the style.

Nice tone Andy, and a REALLY NICE SWING in your playing - don't mean a thang if it ain't got that swang, ya'll!

Good job, thanks, Dana O.

Thansk a Bunch Dana! Really. As mentioned before, the tone dictates the style you play through it.
Crank up the gain with this amp, with a Les Paul, and it's a 80's /90's rocking machine! More to follow...

Thank you for the listen my friend. And yes, Tommys been at this for awhile,
And speaking of EV's, I feel embarrased to say...that didn't cross my mind! Duh!!
I've got a 2x12 with EV's in it for my other Cougar (PD70).

I'm trying it as soon as I get back from walking the dog!!! Thanks!
