The MINI-MARSHMALLOW has a CLEAN
channel that is also the pre-gain for the DRIVE
channel - just as in many of Howard's amps. We've
added a panel control to the traditional Dumble DRIVE
channel, hence FIRST
GAIN, SECOND
GAIN and DRIVE
level controls. No need to disable the EQ for more
gain here! The DRIVE
channel has three voicing switches to expand the tonal
range beyond the originals. Both the CLEAN
and DRIVE
channels have their own MID
(shift ) and JAZZ
switch option and share the three-way EQ. The Mid
and Jazz functions are also individually controllable
via foot-switch, as some Dumble amp players favour.
The effects loop follows with separate SEND
and RETURN
controls. The loop can be assigned to just one channel
or be active all the time. It can also be individually
controlled via foot-switch.
The power amp has LOUD,
BODY
and POWER
SCALE controls. The POWER
SCALE control can be assigned to one or
the other channel or both. Its pristine output does
not sound single-ended at all - due to the use of
a toroidal OT and ultra-linear operation - that is,
until you dial in SE-warmth with the BODY
control! Push-pull mode allows five times as much
power, and the BODY
control still dials in warmth. Be as loud or as quiet
as you wish. If you have to go truly loud, plug the
amp through the SUPER
SCALER.
