Sorry to say that but only you can decide. Listen to the clips really closely and decide what is more you... Overtone is a beast, versatile with a lot of options and on the other hand, 5E3 is an amp which screams passion, to me at least. 5E3 has this ability to reflect the state of your soul very nicely. What ever you decide rest assured, you'll end up with an awesome amp. true that..it's so hard though.haha. I wish I could play each of them first.

so what should I go for...the 5E3 circuit or the dumble clone?

I've been using this rig mostly by daisy-chaining both amps together. I have a simple A/B switch but one of these days I'm buying this... http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BigShotABY/ With a box like that you can use amp A or B or even A+B... whatever feels good to you. niceeee. Thats cheap too.

This is my rig and I believe an answer to your question haha! Very nice my friend, very nice indeed.. How is it working out? I have never tied to amps together...How much does it cost for the a/b switch or whatever? My guess is you use the ceriatone for some crunch and the deluxe for pretty cleans, correct? Awesome. Thanks.

Yes both tracks are tweed tone... clean is tele-neck and solo is tele-bridge... just guitar and a cable with some reverb on the end. The pickups are Fender CS Nocasters. But you should know my 5E3 is moded with 6L6, GZ34 tubes and I also added so called 'Bruce Collins Vol/Tone Mod.' Here's one clip, strat with a stock Ceriatone 5E3 using 2X12 cabinet with Celestion G12 Century speakers. Not mine BTW...this clip is from Ceriatone forum. http://www.guitarampcab.com/TWDdlx.mp3 SRV tone is not exactly tweed tone. He's more BF Fender clean with TS-9 but in order to get his thick tone you would also need right pickups with heavy strings and his fingers of course. IMHO what you need is an amp which will feel right to you and you should not try to match SRVs tone, at the end you will be disappointed, 'cause nobody can't get his tone. ya, i could never match his tone and would never want to use it as mine but just as a reference. I read he used super reverbs and dumbles so that is why I was asking. I can't decide what to do. I have been thinking about it searching all day. I currently have a 1972 Fender Twin Reverb that has wonderfulllll clean tones but the idea of having an amp that naturally crunches up is so appealing. I can get that with my barber ltd but its just not the same...Would it be possible to use the deluxe clone as my crunchy sound and my twin for my clean sound? almost like two channels? can you a/b switch them or something? decisions, decisions...

5E3 + tele = awesome blues tone, match made in heaven IMHO This is how my my 5E3 sounds like through Greenback tele + 5E3 5E3 is different animal compared to Overtone. Overtone clean is closer to BF Fender I would say and OD sounds like a Dumble I guess, think Robben Ford or Larry Carlton. 5E3 is all about tweed tone, middly, touch sensitive... think Neil Young or early ZZ Top. I have Overtone coming and I already own 5E3 and BF Champ from Ceriatone. I like that clip man. Was both guitar tracks the tweed clone? Good thing I have a tele and a strat.haha. What pickups are in your tele? Do you think the 5E3 can get SRV tones? or the overtone?

I'm extremely interested in getting a ceriatone. I had my mind set on a 5E3 circuit clone but you all are drawing me towards the dumble "clone". How do they compare? I'm looking for a gritty blues tone. I love a great clean but I'm mostly interested in that hairy grit tone like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins etc. What is the best Ceriatone amp for me!???
