This is beginning to sound like TGP 

And guys I didn't want this thread to turn into a slinging match any more than all of you, but when my motives are called biased and malicious im not just going to sit there and cop it, because its really not what I'm about...

erwin thanks for the suggestions, i will try my best but dont know how successful ill be

cadsy,
   I really wish I could answer your initial question regarding the Overtone.  I have a few more weeks to wait and I'll be seeking a similar sound among many others.  In listening to that clip, honestly, I found it to be pretty Fenderish with perhaps a bit of extra something on the harmonic end of things...but not much.  I am glad you posted it.  I coped a few licks off of it!  A lot of that tone is present in much of Mayers playing and equipment usage, with or without a two rocks.  I think his pups are wired specifically to his tastes.  I like that tone as well and will try to dial it in when the Overtone gets here.  I hope my different than the majority speaker choice will help that.  I'll let you know if I think I find that ballpark sound with the Overtone.  I imagine it is in there somewhere.

Someone said earlier it'll do basically what a Fender (tube) amp will.  I hope that is correct. That sound was in that Fender ball park to my ears.

If I can't eq that sound in, I'll still be pleased to settle with many of the posted tones.  I like that Dumblish tone and am a big Robben Ford/Larry Carlton fan. That sound, my current Fender amp won't quite do. If I can do that bluesy Mayerish/SRVish tone too...that'll just be gravy.

does this amp at least emulate what a BF Twin Reverb glassy clean sounds like?

Yes, because replicating one specific two-rock tone is the test for versatility...

By the way, the Overtone doesn't do Vox, Soldano or Engl tones either.

I presume the Overtone was meant to be a dumble clone. Like all derivates or original (which, by the way has never been static), it has its own flavour, flaws, positives, negatives, circuit variances and so on.

I am almost certain that it was not meant to be a clone of another clone.

My advice is that you save up 5000$ for a Two Rock, buy a Fender Mayer guitar because it will have the same pickups and begin practising your chops to replicate Mayer's.

Anything else will not be versatile enough for you. No pun intended.

If you aren't able to discuss or defend your point, don't offend and go trolling somewhere else.

marin,

ive spent 4 pages discussing my point properly and in a civil manner

this was never a trolling excercise, others have agreed with me in this thread and see where im coming from.

the only reason i said offensive things is because that i had already been attacked by you through condescension for no good reason. and i didnt actually say you were those things in my previous post, only that your writing makes you come across like that.

this thread has now hit rock bottom, i wont be posting in it again
