I've always wanted to see/ hear a TR vs. Ceriatone bout!

I see, though of course in such a short time, maybe with a little tweaking you can cover the thicker tone of TR perhaps?

Is that much of a difference or just barely noticable?

How would you descrive "thickness" cause I think ceriatones are thick with the proper settings.

Thats interesting. I've always wanted to compare these.

My BM has very thick clean and OD tones. I think speaker and tube choices can have alot to do with it, though.

It all depends how you modify your amp !!!
No two rock sounds better than well tweaked OTS with the Mercury transformers and chock, especially drive channel.
You can tweak OTS clean channel to match TR clean which is great.
I’ve spend months to make my amps sound better than my TRs: TR Jat, TR reverb Sig 50, Sig 100 and Kimock and when I did, I’ve sold TRs and bought more OTS and couple of custom build guitars.

Don’t be shay to experiment with the components: slope resistor, coupling caps on both channel, drive inlet capacitor and following resistor, V2 snabers end so on.

Remember, if you are a Jedai you have to build your own lightsaber!
Let the force be with you !!!

I definitely will my friend. I’m on little tour right now (writing from my mobile). In couple of days I’ll post simple but useful tweaks which you all enjoy I hope .
Cheers

Hi There,
Once again, here is a layout of the OTS FM mod.eagle. easiest platform for really great tone.
With offered mods (in green) you‘ll get clean as good as TR or Bluesmaster with 100-120pf High cap on volume push pull, fat but sparkly same time.

Important tip! When you use single coil pickups, you can switch OFF V1’s  0.05uF NLF cap for fatter, more compressed tone , but for the humbuckers  better switch it ON otherwise you will have to much sug and early brake up.

Drive channel (ratio X – line mod) will give you fatter and more open drive tone which you can smooth with higher value snubbers and if you use 120pf cap on volume’s bright switch, accordingly you have to increase V2,2 snaber’s capacitance with 3 way switch with 470pf or 680pf caps (you can experiment and chose cap’s value according to your taste).

On the mid-boost switch increase cap to 470pf for slightly more high mids and remove 0.001uF cap on bass pot for slightly more lows and low mids (or better introduce a mini switch).

Finally change presence pot to 1K linear for better early and smoother action.

I hope this mods are easy to perform and you will have better sounding amp instantly.

Best wishes and good luck.

Hi Pickmaster, I'm interested to know if these mods were performed before or after your YouTube clips?

So in all, you have the mods listed in the schematics with also MM tranny and choke?

O --- M --- G !!!

I should've done this earlier!

I removed the LNF and the bass cap

Cured all my ills. The stiff attack I was rambling about was gone

Thanks a lot! Pickmaster. When I heard "more compression" on the LFB from your post I immediately removed my chassis and did it.

Now my sound has the BOUNCE man that bounce. And my overdrive is now set lower and I can turn up the ratio.
