Members Purplexi Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 They're supposed to be really good like Marshall USED to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gproud Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 I had an 18 Watt TMB and I wish I had never sold it. Top notch work IMO. Great sounding amps, and excellent customer service. When I'm in a position to choose a new amp, it'll be from Nik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mudder1310 Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 The Ceriatone parts are good, and Nik and his crew do good assembly work if you have them. Nice head shells too. I've been strongly considering they DC-30... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thirsty one Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 I was going to buy the Overtone Special, but the wait time on that amp was eight weeks. The wait time on the other models is not nearly that long. I ended up getting modded Fuchs ODS. However I want the DC 30 clone bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 The Hiwatt clones look badass, as well as the Superbass. I would give one a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BrendanO Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 I wouldn't mind the Vibrochamp clone...Small, cheap, all tube, hand wired. Hell, I don't play out on guitar, so I wouldn't even need the headshell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave Owens Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 waiting on an SLO clone...just a matter of time.. ... a Hey-Watt or a Brown super looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spitfire Mojo Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 I have an 18w with an EF86 channel. I really like it and think it was a great value. The assembly looks top notch and the sound is great. I don't think you'll find many negative reviews from people. You just need to decide on what is right for you.

Members Rich Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 The 18 tmb I played from them sounded pretty good. I'd spend cash on one in a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Edes Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 An SLO clone would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Turner Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 I have a 2204 by Ceriatone. Probably the best sounding JCM 800 I have played. I have owned 2 Marshall JCM 800 2204's and they never sounded quite as good as this one. The build quality is pretty damn good and the price is great.

Members OverDriven Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 It's good quality stuff. The only thing is I've heard some people like to buy the kits without the transformers and buy better ones elsewhere. Not that the stock ones are really that bad, but I've heard that they could be better in the bass department. I've never ordered anything from them though...all this is from word of mouth.

Members OverDriven Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 do they tell you which trannies are needed?Along with schematics? No you would have to figure that out yourself, but it's pretty easy. I mean if you are getting a JCM 800/Plexi kit for example, you could just buy a Hammond or Heyboer JCM 800/Plexi drop in transformer set and that will work. The wiring colors might be a bit different though. For someone that is new to building amps and doesn't know electronics, I would say stick with the stock transformers to make it easier.

Members OverDriven Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 seems easy enough!I see a ceriatone in my future... The clips seem killer. Be sure to document the build up if you do it, and post it here. Would be cool. If you need any help, let me know and I'll try my best to help.
