The Dumb Lloyd is a highly anticipated and expensive pedal that aims to replicate the legendary Dumble amplifier sound in a compact stompbox format. While it is considered to be a good overdrive pedal, it is not particularly original in its design. The pedal is essentially a modified Tube Screamer, with some tweaks and modifications to achieve a more unique tone.One notable feature of the Dumb Lloyd is its responsiveness, which sets it apart from typical Tube Screamers. It offers a wide range of gain, from subtle drive to full-on distortion. The tone shaping capabilities are also quite versatile, thanks to the addition of the ‘Accent’ pot.The Dumb Lloyd now comes with its own dedicated PCB (printed circuit board) that is designed for vertical-mount pots. However, if you prefer, you can still wire up regular pots instead. The pedal also includes a designated spot for an extra capacitor required for the Jazz/Rock switch. However, it’s important to note that you will need to purchase the switch separately and drill the hole yourself to install it.Overall, the Dumb Lloyd is a highly regarded pedal for those seeking the sought-after Dumble amplifier sound in a more affordable and portable format.
