Members candh Posted October 29, 2007 Members Share Posted October 29, 2007 OK guys it's the PT just don't know what yet. It's staring right at ya man. What taps do you see coming of the PT?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mcinku Posted October 29, 2007 Members Share Posted October 29, 2007 It's staring right at ya man. What taps do you see coming of the PT?? The problem is, I don't know what kind of voltage you use in Japan. 100V ?? It has to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Radiohead, lol Posted October 29, 2007 Members Share Posted October 29, 2007 are you able to tell because of how the PT is hooked up?I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have a winner!!!!!Yep, line voltage in Japan is 100V making for a pain in the butt with vintage gear.....either change out the PT or carry around step up transformer. One reason I love Nik is he winds export PT's at no extra charge. So, dinner is on me....should I inform my wife we are having a guest??

Members Kitarist Posted October 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 yep we are still waiting for the clips but what is Actually the new Ceriatone Special ? Does it deliver marshall type sound or fender type sound or... BEST OF BOTH WORLDS CLIPS CLIPS CLIPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Radiohead, lol Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 it's a dumble ODS clonesort of like a beefed up fender...lots of sustain, but not over the top gain.not sure about the cleans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mcinku Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 As far as I know the cleans are very twin like if you wish. It's perfect amp actually (for me at least). Beautiful Fender cleans with some nice bite on top of it.If you want to know how it sounds, just go to youtube and look for Robben Ford.

Members Cowinacape Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Another happy Ceriatone customer here as well, 2203 modded by Ceriatone, to be somewhat darker/ballsier, not quite as mid honky as a regular marshall, and loves V-30, no clips or pics though (yes I know I suck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kitarist Posted October 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 A little off topic... Yesterday I heard some JSX clips and i was just friggin blown away... the amp is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing :| also my friend bought so i cant wait to try that big nasty beast. You can virtually play anything on it from blues jazz to rock and metal. ITs just pure ownage. Anyway also when i was browsing around i recognized that most guitar players used Marshall Major 200W so my question is which amp would be close to get that tone ? probably plexi right or even JCM (modded) i'm not that good with modding stuff you know :| but i might try it one day.But anyway JSX head... AMAZING!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members candh Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 The amp should be here by this coming weekend if Nik sent it out today.Yes, I will record some clips and maybe some video and post to youtube. I've been really busy building and tweaking, and my band is "taking a break" so my playing has turned to crap. Bare that in mind.Careful guys,, this amp is only but a very loose interpretation of the early Dumble ODS from the 70's. The typical dumble tones made famous by Ford, Carlton and others is a later 80's circuit so this amp by design is A-typical. I really need to sit down with several schematics and layouts to get all the differences straight. If any of you are interested in the nitty gritty of the Dumble world go over to the Dumble discussions at ampgarage.com. You will need to register and log in but there is a wealth of info to learn from some of the best amp gurus on the planet. A word of warning though....DO NOT POST anything without thoroughly researching. It ain't like HC...lol.I won't even speculate what Nik's amp is going to sound like but I had an old Bassman that I tweaked to be .....ahem.......dumbleish and of course I still have my Brownnote D'lite which is in a similar vein of amp. For those thinking of buying the Overtone be aware that there is a reason this amp is far more expensive than any of Nik's other offerings. In terms of build difficulty I would say it is on the extreme side. Even if you buy the completed version if you should have something go haywire it's going to be really tough to troubleshoot. However, a good tech should have no problem so if you have the inclination.....go for it.It's great to see Kitarist taking the initiative to get a Ceriatone forum going. I for one support his efforts and enthusiasm.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kitarist Posted October 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Thanks also for all your PMS guys and your help it seems we got some serious fans here but i also hope when i create the SOUND CLIP SECTION that you will post some clips there.

Members Mr.Mow Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Guys maybe you can help me out here.. I'm a little confused by all his options.. Each amp seems to have several options like 'complete working chassis' or 'kit'.. are these pre made, pre wired 'amps' or is it a box of bits you assemble yourself.. Me con-foo-sed.. too many similar sounding things! ie 'assembled board' 'full working chassis' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMAZING!!! Wow, people still actually use Marshall Majors......?lol Those amps are a lot cleaner and thicker than your typical JCM or virtually any other Marshall for that matter. And LOUD......holy {censored}. There are so many great Marshalls. You just have to try a bunch and find one that fits you best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mcinku Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 ie 'assembled board' 'full working chassis' I think if you go for package 1 and 2 you must put the board in the chassis and do some wiring, on the other hand if you go for package 3 or 4 everything is done for you just put the tubes in.

I for one support his efforts and enthusiasm. Chris Youtube is fine but sometimes it's really laking in the sound quality. So please clips first, youtube second. That is why I want those clips... I'm in love with Robben F. sound and I was hoping that this amp will put me in the neighborhood of his sound just a little bit. I know it won't make me sound like him but still, just a bit and I'm happy.. Can you describe (in plain words) what is the difference between Dumble ODS from the 70's and later 80's circuit?

Members Kitarist Posted October 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Yes its best to post real soundclips recorded with a nice MIc (Shure 57 or something similar) so we can really hear the quality of the amp sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
