There are some samples on you tube of a Dumble and Dr Z (along with some others) but no indication of giving the profiles out...I've asked but no response yet.
I believe a lot of us are very interested in profiling a Dumble 
Anyone try these yet?
man I use the 1978 Dumble profile and tweaked it a bit to suit me. It's one of my main goto rigs. Of course I'd always be interested in obtaining something new! I met with Tom Anderson a couple of weeks ago at his shop out in LA and was discussing the KPA and his Dumble came up in discussion, but unfortunately it's sold.
Ask the Alexander Dumble Facebook page, I'm sure someone will oblige.
I did have a Texas Flood, & a OD1, but this was before the Kemper sadly.. Although Ive got my hooks in the guy that owns them, and he said I can.. but is on tour for the next 4 months!. - we hope he brings me the good news.!
I've owned a Kitty Hawk - years ago - and was glad to sell it and bought a Digitech 19" box in that time ...
A friend of mine had a few Dumbles in his Vintage Shop but was not expressed by the sound.
As soon as I find a great sounding one I'll profile ....
My 'Dumble' is my 'Fuchs' 
Somehow I don't think Mr.Dumble would be very happy to hear that theres a 'Dumble Hunt' on to try and catch his 'highly classified' tone 
Friends that have played them say they're hit and miss. I'm willing to bet the one Andy samples will be a killer. I,m putting it on my Xmas list.
In the meantime we have plenty of D sounds available.
From what I have been told, many/most/all were originally built for specific people. So, trying one at random could be "hit or miss", depending on the type of guitar and playing style of the original owner, versus the playing style of the person trying it.
of course ... having a nice collection of Dumbles would even be better!!

That's what I've heard as well. Part of Dumble's service was to tailor the amp exactely to the customer's wishes.
I like the sound David Lindley and Jackson Browne got out of their Dumbles in the late 70s and early 80s (on "Running on empty" for example). But I didn't like the sound of that Mr. Mister guy in the late 80s who was also playing a Dumble. Presumably those amps were very different from each other.
So it might be hit and miss. You never know for which purpose/guitar the amp was originally voiced.
LOL! Thats a funny name for an amp. DUMBLE.

Well, that's what the name of the builder is: Alexander Dumble.

The price tag is less funny. People pay $50.000 for a Dumble. John Mayer has several.
John Mayer needs the tax deductions
It recall Anderson said he paid about $1200 for his but sold it for $25K. I sure miss the good old days of buying old strats, teles and les pauls... (wish I'd known about Dumbles back then...)
I remember reading once that a guy was _lucky_ enough to see one at a yard sale. - he paid 20$ for it, as the owner had absolute no idea, and because the tolex was a bit scuffed thought it was worthless. It needed a few new parts. but total cost was about 100$.. sold it 2 years later for 35k..
Ive heard and read many of these stories over my lifetime, and Im always dead jealous.. carboots/yard sales are the best place to find vintage gear it seems!!
Ive been to a fair amount purly to see if I can find any.. never did but hey! you never know.. right
