Hi guys, I just joined the community of happy ceriatone owners having added  a 2550 to the family. 

I already had a JCM2000 TSL602 (too noisy for my taste and difficult to dial in a good tone) and an amazingly satisfying Blackheart 5 Watt tube combo I got for nearly 250 bucks which I find an incredibly good sounding practice amp.

I was after a classic sound more on the crunchy territory than on the high gain side, and so far the 2550 is more than meeting my expectations. I still have to tweak a little and find the right settings to match my speaker cabinet (a tslc212 marshall with 1 Celestion Vintage cone and a Heritage cone).

I have to say that the build quality is astonishing and I think these amps are actually better built than their original counterparts, the handwiring is flawless and you get a taste of boutique quality at a far more reasonable price.

I'll try to post some clips once the tubes start to break and I get used to this tone monster.

See you!!!

You reminded me of the first time I saw the guts of a Ceriatone.  It was a friends model 1986 "plexi".  I was completely floored by how well made they were, how good they sounded, and of course the reasonable price.  The cost of shipping has gone up quite a bit since then, and there are more companies that offer kits now, but Ceriatone still has a lot to offer.  Nik has got to be a pretty "successful" small business.
Good Luck
