I didn’t go to my first NAMM expecting to play a Dumble Overdrive Special but, somehow, that’s exactly what happened.

It all started when we came across a small unassuming booth, which never opened its doors to the public but drew attention nonetheless because of the billboard outside that read: “Overdrive Special by Dumble”.
