GTown Custom Amps is a Russian pedal builder that's getting noticed for its Dumble-inspired, hand-built devices, including amps.

2022 UPDATE: The Best Dumble Pedals (or D-Style Overdrives)
D-style overdrives (i.e. drive pedals voiced after the ultra-rare Dumble amps) are extremely fashionable right now, and Russian company GTown Amps has come up with two hand-made pedals in this niche that are getting a lot of attention and praise.

Whether you call them D-Style pedals or Dumble-inspired overdrives, gain stompboxes attempting to emulate the voicing of the ultra-rare Dumble amps are probably the second most hyped overdrives after the (still unreachable) Klon clones.

The Vertex Steel String Clean Drive was voiced after the legendary Dumble Steel String Singer, apparently, the reference unit they had was serial #1.
