Hi All - I am new to the form and as I type my new 100 watt OTS is winging its way towards Richmond Va and should be making one of my Splawns move over tomorrow afternoon in my barn.  I am very exited and anticipate this amp to be everything it is cracked up to be. I do have several questions for you seasoned Ceriatone owners.

1) I have heard some buzz on a few different websites, some maybe not so friendly towards clones, that Ceriatone keeps costs down by using lower grade parts where they can.  Conversely, I have read the opposite, that their parts are all high quality military grade and PTP construction.  Any truth to the rumors???

also,

2) I ordered the FX loop as well on my OTS........and I have also read these are not so good.  Any truth to that and if so why?  And if so, anything that can be done once I get the amp?

Just as a note, I have read every review of these amps I can find and have yet to read one that was negative, or even like warm. They are all great reviews.....

All the best,
Bob

“I didn’t even know there was an organization that did this,” she said, twirling in front of a mirror as she gazed at her reflection and ran her hand over the delicate folds of fabric that transform her into a bride. “It feels like a princess.”
Listening to Pepper Periquet Guanio talk about flowy wedding dresses made me want to purchase one even if I wasn’t a bride-to-be in search of one. Her passion for bridal gowns is infectious and she has a mission to find the ideal wedding gown for every woman about to marry; she believes, just like the groom, that there is the perfect wedding gown to match each and every bride.

She and her team still have to deal from time to time with traditional and conservative mindsets that have come to represent most Filipino weddings. Some brides come looking for packages that include the cinderella wedding dresses of the entourage, thinking that this is how things must be done. They are also under the impression that it is a less expensive option to purchase gowns separately. But when Pepper sits down with them and suggests that they break down the cost, they realize that the bulk of the package price often goes to the entourage and not to the bride’s gown. When they learn this, they become more receptive to Mi Sueño’s approach. Some brides also find it less intimidating to go to bridal boutiques than to well-known designers because they are free to browse through the available choices and ask questions comfortably. Besides, how many women have easy access to local fashion designers?

A Bright, Rosy Future

It seems like impending motherhood has softened Beyonce's stance toward letting us in on her personal life. She hasn't kept her pregnancy a secret — and it seems like every person in her life has something to say about the maybe-baby girl.

We're getting even more in her new video for "I Was Here" — her mermaid wedding dresses! Beyonce shows off the one-shoulder wedding dresses she wore when she married Jay-Z nearly three years ago in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it clip. The emotional song captures Queen B’s life since she started performing as a pre-teen.

"I wanna say I lived each day until I die," she sings in the song. It looks like she has, judging from the countless photos and video of her with everyone from South African leader Nelson Mandela to Michael Jackson and Barack Obama.

But back to the halter wedding dresses. The white strapless gown is pretty much exactly what we envisioned the pop princess wearing on her big day. She looked just as happy as we imagined, though.

Beyonce has featured Bridal Gowns a lot lately in her music videos. She played the part of a happy bride in the video for her recent song, "Best Thing I Never Had." She told Access Hollywood at the time that her own wedding was a lot less stressful than filming the fake one for the cameras.

"This may have been a little more crazy. I had to sing at the same time," she joked to the entertainment program.
