The Dumble Preservation Society has moved from preservation work and teasers into taking orders. Its website now lists three amps: the Overdrive Special, the Tweedle Dee and the MegaPLX. The Overdrive Special, the model most closely tied to the Dumble name and to players such as John Mayer and Joe Bonamassa, is offered as a head or a combo, with options for covering and grille cloth.
These are exclusive builds rather than catalog items: no prices are published, only an invitation to get in touch, so production-run availability is not on the table. The Tweedle Dee revisits Dumble's heavily modified take on a Fender Tweed Deluxe circuit, and the MegaPLX is inspired by one of the rarest amps Dumble made; only three exist, the last of them the final amp he built. The MegaPLX is also available as a plug-in captured by TONE3000 and NAM. Howard "Alexander" Dumble died in 2022, the brand's website was relaunched in late 2024, and the society made its first public appearance at NAMM 2025.
