Dumble maplifiers are built on pirate boards. The chassis are made of aluminum and unicorn horn.:huh

Dumbledore

The highest of the high end of Dumble products. A mapflifier to allow everyone to weave fine toans of music with airy reprise. A Dumbledore map will achieve the highest level of saturation with the Phoenix mode on while turning off the Harry potts to reduce resistance from internal circuitry.:rotflmao

And if you go up to the top of the article, where it lists all of the artists who play Dumble, it lists Soulja Boy:rotflmao


And this: However, many elements of Dumble amps are still unknown has Alexander Dumble guards his secret very carefully. Much speculation has arisen over what exactly gives Dumble amps their character. One theory is that Alexander uses his gravitational pull to the crystal lattice to widths and breadths beyond that of any other crystal lattice. Others speculate that Dumble may in fact have connections to the Jews, who hold many secrets about the science of toancraft. The Jews could not be reached for comment. :rotflmao:rotflmao:rotflmao

I think things are being changed right now, because I didn't see that before and someone added the part about him using the wood from the cross Jesus was crucified on as the wood for the cabinets to the part that the OP posted:rotflmaoI bookmarked that page so whenever I need a good laugh, I'm gonna go on there.

[Tripower455]

"He's been known to cheap out and use wood from the ark" LOL!

[Jube2550]

Finally some actual funny shiate that made me laugh.....I love lettuce but never had Dilythium Crystal Lettuce.

The circuitry varies somewhat between individual amplifiers, because each one was built and voiced for a specific player. Amplifiers built around the same time tend to share some of the same circuitry and component values. However, several amplifiers were later sent back to Dumble to have their circuitry updated.
Part of the characteristic sound of Dumble amplifiers comes from Dumble's choice of parts:


the type of capacitors used in the tonestack and in the overdrive stages
The Blood of the Ancients
the type of plate resistors
the output transformer (Optimus Prime)
Dragon Tears
the lead dress (usually Elizabethan in style, though known to occasionally delve into the more modern Victorian styles), and the use of shielded wire.
the width and breadth of the crystal lettuce
the tiny magnets used to collect and reconstitute all of the fragile harmonics.
Dilythium Crystal Lettuce

Dumble amplifiers are built on pirate boards. The chassis are made of aluminum and unicorn horn. The wood used for the cabinets is generally voidless plywood created out of the cross of JCs crucifixion. He has been known, however, to cheap out a little and use wood from the Ark.

Whoever did this should be hanged from the balls. Wikipedia should not to be vandalized! This is shameful and only shows lack of character.

[bigdaddy]

The first tube is followed by a passive tonestack with adjustments for treble, middle, and bass. Typical switching options available in the different models include:

Bright (bypasses the volume potentiometer with a capacitor to boost the high frequencies)
Deep (changes the voicing of the tonestack for a warmer tone)
Mid (increases the value of the treble capacitor to boost the midrange frequencies)
Boost (disconnects the treble potentiometer from the bass potentiometer for a preamplifier level boost)
Rock/Jazz (switches between a Fender-esque voicing and a more "hi-fi-type" of voicing).
Holy Sh*t (Switches between several dimensional planes at once, giving a tone that is described as slightly more "creamy")

Man, if you deface "Dumble", what stops you from defacing every article that bothers you? No, I'm not joking. Wikipedia is a public service and defacing it s criminal. I don't give a rat's ass about Dumble amplifiers, but I care about Wikipedia. If you want to make jokes, go to the Desciclopedia!

Who says the article "bothers" the people who are defacing it? Besides that, who is going to believe the stuff written there?

Now that right there folks, is some seriously messed up priorities. There are absolutely no documented cases of Wikipedia making notes "bloom".

[esmiralha]

I don't care about the motivation of the vandals. Your second statement doesn't make any sense. Who is going to believe in what's written in the Wikipedia?

Jeez man, you need to lighten up. A good time is a good time, and the page will probably be restored within a couple hours. It's not that big of a deal.



You're wired way too tight for the internet.

Uncyclopedia isn't nearly as funny as actually modifying the real articles. You should try it sometime.

[drgonzoguitar]

I used to mess with my history students who I explicitly told not to use Wikipedia. When projects were due, I would change small facts....like Harry S. Truman was the 56th Vice President of the US (He was the 37th). When it showed up the next day in a paper, I knew what source they were using. :D

Wikipedia is not a real source. People think it is....which is why the Dumble article is so f**king funny.

What a great thread. I haven't laughed this hard in a while.
For two reasons. One had to do with Dumbell and the other didn't.
Thanks for the clip, because I was thinking it.

Ah, so TGP knows of our ways!

But in all honesty, we should do that again.

I don't know about the rest of you but I think I need to see some references and citations before I believe any of that stuff.

pretty funny! wish I'da thought of it.

I saw a study where a bunch of research scholars found that 1 in 5 Wikipedia articles contain inaccuracies. There's a reason why my kids' schoolteachers explicitly tell them not to use Wikipedia as a source. It's a great resource for general information about a topic, or as a starting point for real research (the list of links attached to each article sometimes contains some valuable sources). But it's far from a real research source. The guy bleating about the vandals who have defiled the sanctity of Wiki needs to lighten up.

The Dumble thing is hilarious, wish I would have seen it.
