Hi Boldaslove,
I'm thinking about getting a Overtone kit. Did you say earlier that someone will build the Ceriatone Overtone? Are they here in the states? If so, can you give more info on who does the build?

Thanks,
Bob

This is the Bludo that Matt was using on his last tour. Very different settings to his TR. Each amp will sound different, you just need to find your own settings

Hey Hywell, that looks like Larry’s amp (bluesmaster with flexiplex OD) which I’ve played when he was in London.
It had an enormous bass response and pretty mild overdrive. I’m not surprised Matt has turned bass down and OD up.

What is a flexiplex OD  Huh? Huh?

Think of old  Marshal plexi without diode clipping on drive – less gain and more open, milder tone.
Actually think of Hendrix amp with KT66s but milder.


[flexiplex OD] As in an external pedal, e.g. fuzzbox? If so, I find that really strange one would need to embellish the overdrive of a Dumble clone  with an extra gain stage.

I haven't seen Carlton with his Bludotone setup. I've seen him many times with Dumbles and even Boogies.

I must confess, his music hasn't interested me much in quite some time. I last saw him 4 years ago, I have no desire to see him now.  The tour with Ford might have been good, if they had practiced together, beforehand. Obviously, they didn't, and I'm very disappointed in the outcome.

Hey Yo!
You must be an old hippy smoking to much grass!!!
What extra gain stage? What are you talking about? Huh?
Oh, Oh, sorry! Probably your real name is Mr. Alegzonder Dumb and now I understand why you don’t like Carlton and Ford any more. One plays Bludo and another one Fenders and soon they will start to play CERIATONE which would be great.
No offence, we love you anyway!.

OK, reading comprehension isn't your forte. Let's try it again, really slowly this time.

What is Flexiplex OD? Is it a pedal? An amp? What the F is it? A  figment of your imagination?

I've seen Carlton with Dumbles, I've seen him with Boogies, never  with Bludotones, so you have me at a disadvantage.

However, being considerable older than you, I have had the advantage of seeing Carlton play, when he was actually making good music, as opposed to his present day blues wankery, which sucks on a good day.

Sorry if you do have reading problems. I usually don't make sport of such.

Dear Yo,

I definitely don’t have a reading problem, you must have it, because I clearly explained in one of the previous post that flexiplex is an overdrive channel configuration of the  Bludotone bluesmaster amp which makes it sound like a milder Marshall Plexi.

Best wishes

I see. A variation of Bludotone. I did not know.

I must confess I don't understand why some people prefer Dumble clones that sound more  like a Marshall, than let's say an ODS, Fender or Boogie.  I've never been a fan of Marshall amps, and I couldn't be less of a Marshall fan today.  Compare Hendrix in 1969 to Santana in 1974. That's what I'm talking about.

Marshall never did seem to get the whole master volume thing. I'm not sure what a "classic" Marshall distortion sound sounds like.

S the stock CeriaTone BM doesn't have this od channel configuration?  The more I learn, I feel like I want the clean sounds of the BM, but the whole goal is to get classic Dumble overdrive tones.

I did check them out last night, your tones are just incredible.  Actually, your clips are what are pushing me towards the BM instead of the regular HRM.

I definitely want to be able to do the Larry Carlton tones, and even the Robben Ford tones if need be.  I just want Dumble OD!!

I agree boldaslove's amp is sounding good. But be aware his BM is wired different than the stock ceriatone BM.

Yep!
That’s a circuit I’ve developed two years ago, plus some additional secret  mods Grin.

Well that's no good for me then.  Nik is wiring my amp for me.

 Yes my amp does have a few mods to suit my playing style,taste, etc. None the less the BM is a great amp. It has huge cleans ( that's my main concern because I use a bunch of pedals). The Dumble OD was very new to me as it will showcase your blems. It really takes some time to get used to the OD to use it to your full potential.

 MNjordan,

    I don't want to defer you from choosing an amp as everyone has different tastes. All the amps Nik offers are all great platform's to tweak upon, I think you'll be satisfied which ever route you go. If you want huge cleans I would suggest the BM, If you want a singing OD I would suggest the non HRM (Overtone special). The BM has great OD and it has the most gain available ( Marshall type gain not dumble type gain) out of all the Overtone's. You can definitely get the Robben F. sound with the right guitar and chops. The Non-HRM Overtone has a ton of gain available too (just not like the BM OD).
