On the day that my Mesa Boogie Nomad 45 and Fender 65 Pro Reverb go to get some much needed tech attention, @JakeLoosemore let me borrow his Suhr Bella. Advertised as a “pedal platform” – this combo has some Dumble DNA – and really sounds incredible.

It honestly doesn't sound well balanced to me. The highs are a little piercing and along with that are certain bass heavy harmonics that are not all that musical.
The real problem is, the prices on all amps like this. Everything is a boutique amp now and not affordable for the weekend musician, which sucks.
Love your reviews, some of the best online imo. I love the sound of this amp too. Does it have an ev 12L speaker? A shame that it’s been discontinued.

Great sounding amp. That said it has no personality. My Bandit 65 sounds good too with an OD.
I like real amps. I think you sound better through them. Although you sound amazing through modeling as well.
I'm still not sure what a "Dumble Mod" is, but the amp sounds great as does the playing. I'm in the market for a new amp and this is in my top 2.
Thanks for reviewing this combo! The question-mark bait isn't a good look, though, in my opinion.
You should give the suhr hedgehog a go or a pt15 / pt100 (little Overkill maybe) the sounds Ian Thornley and Pete Thorn get from them is unreal
Deluxe reverb or the suhr Bella? Looking to buy one of these not sure which one!
sounds sweet for sure
k…it's been one year and four months since you said the Suhr Bella was "the Best Amp I've Ever Played"…Do you still feel that way my friend or did you discover something else since then that you feel is tops?
Incredible playing and tone as usual Thank you for being one of the most knowledgeable musicians on YouTube. By the way, I would love to hear the Bella paired with a Hermida ZenDrive. Thanks again for inspiring us to try harder. Cheers.
Kudos to the guitar player!
Great clean amp. Everybody should hear the Carvin Bellair twin. It has an acoustic resonance chicken head control on the rear of the amp. It goes really bright without any harsh or ear piercing sounds. It it as good as my Boogie Triaxis on clean and it fills the room with very large sound.
That guy is a brilliant guitar player!
Really annoying to hear 99% of soloing, I barely heard any chords
What model stratocaster is that?
Bella is my favorite amp.
Really nice playing!
Good amp, Great playing! I believe you could make a broom stick, wash tub and string sound good!
Amazing amp. I was very close to buy it but it was extremely loud for home using. Sad!
Hello John thank you for your wonderful playing. I am about to buy it, please tell me, is it a stupid idea using it home? Even at low volume? Thank you.
The Dumble amp is about a creamy tone that blooms after touch in the OD mode, and a great snappy sound while playing clean leads, thats what a lot of players dont get.
So this amp doesnt compare imo.
Sounds worse than an amplified nation by a lot, and nothing like a Dumble.
Great amp sounds incredible as does your playing kudos
I forgot what this video was about because you're one of the greatest guitarists I've ever heard.
I'm really liking Matchless, Two Rock amps lately as well. Ive played Marshalls, Crates, Fenders most of my lifetime over 39 years. And some of these amps are incredible for their clean tones and they do allow the use of pedals great! some amps you can put a pedal in and the pedal is dull as mud and doesn't translate very well in the mix. Then some are just incredible. I'm not a big reverb guy, I like it lightly and not sounding like a church hall. But I do want my amps to translate the pedals sounds nicely when I want them.
It's good that you play man,I loved
Loud hum… nice playing!
To me, when I think of "pedal platform" it means "not good enough on its own." It's about the most negative thing you can say about an amp!
You got a really nice smooth sound to your playing bro. Good stuff. What pickups you got in there?
i wish i could hear it here on yt as you heard it in your room
according to youtube theres now 1257 different amps that are the greatest ????
It sounds like the 1968 Bandmaster I owned. Man I miss that amp.
Dumble killer???????
With no pedal s you were so close to Eric Johnson sound
9:25 to hear the amp. I played one once and it was extremely underwhelming although the owner thought it was great. Maybe his sucked. EV 12L would have made it sound better I don't like speaker distortion. Here with the EV sounds great and your playing is stellar m8.
Great sounding amp. ????????
I bought a used Suhr Bella a couple of years ago and it was my first real high end amp. It was great! Great pedal platform amp because thats what I used it as at home only at lower volumes so unfortunately I never got to crank it. But with a Barber Electronics Direct Drive through the Bella I got probably close to the best overdriven sound I have ever had. Especially from a pedal through a clean amp. For better or for worse I ended up selling the Bella because I felt somehow that it was almost "to much amp" for me as I only used it at home at low volumes etc.. So almost felt it was a bit overkill for me. Almost to good for me hehe :). And it was a lot of money invested in it which I got back when I sold it. So.. I was also interested in trying a different direction from a pedal platform amp and bought therefore instead a Friedman JJ Jr and have been playing that for quite some time and I think I am equally happy with that for my usage. That amp has also enabled me to sell of a lot of pedals because the JJ:s own gain sound is so good that drive pedals are not really needed, as long as you like the Marshall character that is.. I play it on the BE (gain) channel always with just a Barber GainChanger as a slight boost/tone thickener and just roll down my guitars volume for cleaner sounds. Works great for me.. But I sure miss the Bella. It is an amazing amp! I bet also for gigging needs with pedals I can imagine one of the best.
I wish it had a mid control. I suppose it would be an easy mod though.
Hey John how does this thing sound at bedroom volumes at home I don't play whisper quiet but around a level to where you can't really hear somebody talk over it. I really want to get me one of these especially for these dumble in a box pedals I have. But I do do quite a bit of playing at home and was a little concerned about how loud this might be without a master volume and how good it would sound at the lower volumes
“This is the best amp I’ve ever played”, until someone lets him borrow their Silktone for a couple of days. That amp is raising the bar for all others. It’s built by a hi-fi hobbyist who thought he could make a better guitar amp. And boy oh boy he sure did, proving that all the best ideas haven’t yet been built.
12 watts, the ability to bypass the entire tone stack (delivering a huge volume bump with great gain) and tone for days.
I've owned a wood faced non-reverb Bella combo since mid-2016. I use it alone, with a drive pedal out front and a reverb pedal in the tube effects loop. I also will run my Kemper straight into the effects return and use the power and section and speaker to power my Kemper stage for other amp sounds. I'm going to pick up a Friedman Shirley (Twin Sister, Little Sister, Head, combo, whatever) – depending on what I prefer when I'm in the room with it, but my desire to buy amps is otherwise no longer existent. t's a Keeper.
I wonder how it would sound for jazz…. great no doubt.
When you have an amp that sounds like that, you can play cheap guitars and will sound very good.
John, I searched for you on TrueFire and Artist Works and I get nothing searching for John Nathan Cordy.
Dude, I love your playing, you are awesome! I'll check out your courses.
I bet you could play through a potato and it would still sound amazing.????
Shhh… You're supposed to keep things like this a secret.
Just gorgeous sounding. Sounds alive and organic. Beautiful! How can I justify an amp like this just to play in the bedroom?????
