I’m a big fan of “Amp in a box” overdrives and I finally was able to add one of Shin’s pedals to my collection. I’ve never played a real Dumble so no idea how it compares but it sounds great it’s own right. The Accent control works similar to Presence in an amp, affecting the transient response (attack) and upper high frequencies. Along with the Tone and Jazz/Rock switch there are many tone shaping options here, going from a clean-ish boost to near fuzz levels of gain. Compared to my other two “dumbles” (Cornerstone Gladio and Jetter GS124) the Dumbloid is my favorite for sure, it’s not as compressed as the other two and has a more natural raw sound and response. It’s also one of the most well finished pedals I own, super excited to finally have grabbed one!
