Hi! I'm Into looking for a new amp that gives the nice John Mayer tone of a Two-Rock Sig without paying 50,000$. Is the Ceriatone OTS a good way to go or any other suggestions?

/thank you, Erik!

Why just the 100 watt BM? are there any sound difference between the 50 and 100 wattage amp? i dont need the extra volume that 100 watt gives.

100 watt gives very little extra volume, but you get a bigger tone, even at lower volumes.

 Yeah the 100w has big fat lows whilst the 50 just doesn't feel the same. Of course some prefer 50w just out of taste and in this case to save a few $.

okey! but is it a fact that the 100w has a bigger tone or is it just what some people think? because i could really need to save the extra weight but tone goes before weight  Cool

All guys are correct here!
Bigger output transformer = bigger tone, more HEADROOM for the clean tone and smoother drive.
Not much difference in weight.

Direct A/B comparison with a OTS 50 w and 100w; the 100w sounded better/bigger at the same volume level.

Okey thank you all!

Any mods that i'll have to do to get it closer to the 2rock CRS tone or is it very close stock?

I'm going for the Bluesmaster if it's the closest to John Mayers (clean) sound. I'll probably love the OD when it arrives, but at the moment I'm considering modding the OD channel to regular HRM.

I have a OTS 50-Watt that I bought used, so I don't know what mods were done on amp if any.  I've found with my amp, that the clean channel is good, not great, but OD channel is were the amp comes alive -has JM "Slow Dancing" to Trio Blues tone written all over it.  I can clean up the OD with volume control on guitar and turn it up to get his blues tone - very, very transparent tone.  So much so, that lately, I''ve been playing with no pedals up front, just Dr Scientist Reverbertor and Trex Replica in loop with Kleinulator - also helps minimize tone suck.   I play through two seperate 1x12 cabs.  One loaded with EVM12L and the other cab is a TR Sig Cab with TR1265R speaker. 

Not sure this helps, but I would agree on 100-watt not being much louder, just more headroom....a positive.

Good Luck!!

You can also go with a normal OTS and evm12l speakers. EVM12l is the way to go for cleans IMO. I tried; G12-65, Emenince RWB,Celestion v30 and EVM12L.
