Title: New Cabinet... Still waiting for the OTS S&M.... Several weeks out I'm afraid! Post by: roadapple on April 17, 2009, 08:50:33 PM I ordered my OTS S&M on March 30, 2009 and it's probably still another 6 weeks out. Bummer.... But I received my new cabinets for it already. Croc tolex. The cabinet has an ET-65 speaker (Celestion GT-65 clone) and a Green Beret (Celestion Greenback clone) from Ware House Speakers. I'm breaking in the speakers today with a 7VAC signal directly to the speakers. 10-15 hours (with an hour between each hour) should burn them in nicely. They actually sounded good last night hooked up to a Peavey 50 amp. They were a little tight. I've never used Ware House speakers but I have friends that use them and they say that are every bit as good as Celestions/Eminence are.

Edit:- What would look really nice is a cream faceplate and brown chicken head knobs. I wonder if Nik has a CAD drawing for the faceplate? Title: Re: New Cabinet... Still waiting for the OTS S&M....

Congrats mate. Title: Re: New Cabinet... Still waiting for the OTS S&M.... Several weeks out I'm afraid! Post by: roadapple on April 19, 2009, 01:11:18 AM You are so right. A Cream colored faceplate with the Brown chickenheads.... Maybe if the faceplate becomes available in other colors. I may change to red chicken heads for better viewing in the dark... I'll try it and see how it looks... maybe not so good? maybe good? Time will tell. First, I have to wait for the amp to show up first. I had a Rivera Duarte that had a Palomino two tone cabinet with brown faceplate and cream colored knobs... Very nice looking.... What about it Nik? can we "custom" order different color faceplates?
Title: OTS S&M SHIPPED!!! Post by: roadapple on April 30, 2009, 03:11:49 PM Arrived at work this morning and had an email from Ceriatone. My OTS S&M has been shipped!
It's been exactly 30 days since I ordered/paid for it. I was told it would be 6-8 weeks (possibly longer) so I am very happy! Early in the week, the fun begins! Kudos to Ceriatone!
