Carol-Ann
The name Dumble gets thrown around a lot these days; too much really. Most "Dumble" style amps I've played were over-priced, overly complicated and, while perhaps pretty good sounding, lacked the feel, nuance and organic nature of any real Dumble amp I've ever played.
I had basically just about given up on finding an amp with Dumble-esque qualities to offer my clients until a local customer and friend stopped by the shop with an amp built by a British amp designer in the North East named Alan Phillips. Within 45 minutes I knew that Alan's Carol-Ann amplifiers were The Amps I'd been looking for to fill this gap in the Fat Sound lineup and to offer to my clients seeking this, much revered, tone. The newest versions of the OD2 feature either a pair or quad of 6L6 power tubes and a preamp that was tweaked to meet the sonic requirements of Joe Bonamassa.
With enormous, rich, full cleans on CH A and creamy, infinite, defined sustain on CH B as well as some wonderful in-between tones the Carol-Ann OD2 amplifiers are the only amplifiers I have played that I can honestly say remind me of a Dumble in both sound *and* feel.
Easy to dial up, consistently great sounding from day to day, beautifully constructed and reasonably priced this is the amp line to look at to satisfy your Dumble jones.

From Alan PhillipsWelcome to ultra versatile low power pure tone heaven!! The OD3r amplifiers offer a superb extremely low noise three channel all-tube 18W/30W amplifier design specifically engineered for recording, home and small stage applications. Like all our other models this amplifier is hand built using a no compromise approach. Like the larger OD-3, these amplifiers are one of the most sonically versatile available on the market today and are happy producing every possible style of music from Country to Metal !! The clean channel features the warmest tones available with a beautiful percussive attack. The Overdrive Channels are simply incredible with a harmonic balance that gives the amplifier a three dimensional feel, rarely experienced with any standard design. On Channel B the amount of overdrive is variable from very slight breakup to a heavy rocking rhythm tone. Channel C takes over where Channel B leaves off from a heavy crunch to all out sweetly compressed high gain tone. Note separation and response remain true throughout the full range of gain settings. To add even more versatility the addition of a footswitchable 'Lead Master' allows the player to select a different volume control for lead levels. This Lead Master works on either Overdrive Channel. The OD3r is cathode biased and requires no bias adjustments when changing tubes. There is a switch between the power tubes that switches the power stage between 6L6GC and 6V6 power tube operation.

"The OD2 is a bracing experience for anyone who thinks they've seen and heard it all in boutique land" Guitar Player Magazine Nov 2010 Fat Sound's TakeUtilizing a tweaked preamp based on Joe Bonnamassa's input, the final version of the OD2, which went through a period of subtle evolution and minor tweaks, the largest of which being the change over from an EL34 power section to the current amplifier's 6L6 back end. This version, completed in early 2009, is absolutely the best OD2 that Alan Phillips of Carol-Ann Custom Amplifiers has ever built and once his dealers and fans heard this amp we asked Alan to stop right there and "call it soup"!
