Dumble amplifiers have, in many ways, become the holy grail of guitar tone — but with originals costing an absolute fortune (and not getting cheaper anytime soon), owning one without selling your house (and your parents’ house) is… unlikely. Luckily, VHT might have a seriously convincing alternative: the VHT D-20 (twenty), a 20-watt D-style tube amp that aims to get you into that smooth, touch-sensitive, boutique overdrive territory for a fraction of the price.
In this Thinking About Guitar gear review, Nick Jennison demos the D-20’s core tones and control set, including its 6V6 power section, master volume, switchable overdrive, and the three ultra-useful voicing toggles: Bright (3-position), Mid (boost/scoop), and Deep (low-end/low-mid shaping). Pedal tests include a Tube Screamer TS-9, Boss Waza Craft FZ-1W fuzz, plus lush stereo ambience with Strymon Timeline + BigSky — showing how the D-20 handles everything from edge-of-breakup cleans to saturated, harmonically rich drive.
Is it a “real” Dumble? No, but that’s not the point. It's an amp a lot of players have been waiting for.
