An homage to the lusted after, utterly mysterious Dumble Overdrive Special, the Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 Amplifier caught on with players nearly two decades ago, delivering smooth, complex overdrive, and deep, three-dimensional clean tones with endless headroom.
Developed by Brainworx and officially endorsed by Fuchs Audio Technology, the Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 Amplifier plug-in expertly captures all of the nuance and tube-powered tone shaping of this legendary amplifier:
Maniacally Manicured Tones
A go-to amp for Al Di Meola, Jimmy Herring, Warren Haynes, and more, the Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 Amplifier is lauded for its Dumble-esque tones, while also imparting its own tonal DNA. The Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 plug-in artfully captures the hardware's glassy clean tones, ultra-tight low end, and copious amount of touch-sensitive gain. The three-band EQ in conjunction with Brite, Deep, and Rock/Jazz switches lets you customize your tones for any guitar or genre.
Fuchs FX Rack
The Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 Amplifier plug-in provides additional control over your sound through the inclusion of the Brainworx FX Rack. It features a Noise Gate, switchable high-pass and low-pass filters to provide even more tonal options, and a Power Soak circuit that allows you to dial in as much overdrive as you want, without having to crank the output gain.
Unison Technology for Apollo Interfaces
Harnessing UA's groundbreaking Unison technology, the Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 Amplifier plug-in gives you the impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors that have contributed to making this a boutique favorite for legions of players.
The FUCHS ODS plug-in is the best sounding amp emulation I've ever heard."

Top-notch plugin of an excellent amp.
I personally prefer this over any other Dumble simulation plugin. Is much more versatile, better adjustable and offers a wide range of very good tones between clean and classic overdrive. With the right settings you can even dial in some Plexi-like overdrive, with maybe a little more American compression but still nicely balanced and biting. The clean and crunch tones anyway are a class of their own and also perfectly adjustable to almost every guitar.
They can sound like a perfectly voiced or customized Fender amp, but also completely different, depending on your personal adjustments.
Also the cabinet/speaker selection matches perfectly well and offers above average quality, just like some other typical features of this amp plugin collection.
Maybe some roughness and dirt might be missing, depending on what you are looking for, but if you look for really beautiful, well balanced, nevertheless perfectly and flexibly adjustable, very naturally sounding tube amp tones, this is most probably one of the best sounding plugins for this job.
A real gem in the digital world of - for me mostly - fake tones. And also much cheaper than the real amp....
Highly recommended.
