Hi all,


I just bought a very little used OTS. I think it has only been played for a couple of hours. The thing is like brand new and o far I´m VERY happy with it.
The clean sounds are AMAZING - but  I need some help to do a few mods to the OD channel.

I think that the OD is a little harsh-sounding and it needs some more low end. To my ears it looses some of its beautifull lows when i switch to the OD channel - can this be fixed ?

One more thing....... Is it possible to turn the "deep" switch on when switch from clean to OD ?

Hi Franne,

 Don’t know which OTS model you have but I’m sure this mod will be a great help for you.
Change this capacitors as shown and change 100k resistor to 10 k. You will be amazed.
Also after this mods you won't need to switch DEEP with overdrive.
Good luck.

Sorry! One more thing.
Increase capacitor values on valve 2 from 270 or 330 to 470pF or more and harshness will disappear.

Well, that’s pre moded amp S&M layout http://www.ceriatone.com/images/layoutPic/OvertoneLayout/Overtone-S&M-Special.jpg.
First mod (layout) was done in October 2008.
So all my mods will apply.
You can also use 31 October 2008 mod layout to modify your amp further.

I've tried to find those capacitor values online but am not having luck. Those are rated for 25v, correct? Could you recommend an online store for them??

Thanks

25 V yes - I bought them in an electronics supply store in Denmark - no big thing.

The OD gets MUCH more usefull  More low end and the harshness disapears. It REALLY sounds good - go ahead and try it - if you don't like it you can always undo it.
