What we have here is... An absolute and ultimate DREAM AMP, a guitar amp ICON and a LEGEND made by a LEGEND himself. An original Dumble Overdrive Special 100 made in 1992 by Mr. Dumble himself for legendary and iconic finnish guitar master Peter Lerche. Lerche has been a huge influence in guitarism and has contributed his skills and sense of aestheteics of electric guitar with musicians like Pekka Pohjola, Vesa-Matti Loiri and many others.
This amp is in excellent shape and condition, and has been resting from active stage life almost it´s entire life. Lerche ordered the amp from Dumble in 1987, and received it after 5 long years of waiting.
Amp is in it´s original form, except couple of practical modifications made by tube amp guru Lassi Ukkonen, who has designed e.g. the Mad Professor Simble-pedal (a Dumble-in-a-box). Ukkonen added effects loop to cater Lerche´s use of effects pedals. Also the power supply was changed to 115/240V -version, to make the amp more practical around the world.
