Thank you- I'm just honored that anyone's interested.
I think I had the od volume on about 8 o clock, the master on about one, and the recovery on the klein somewhere around 2 o clock.  I put on a backing cd through the pa next to me, and turned on the camcorder.
I'm new to the whole forum, posting video thing, so please excuse the low production values.
I will tell you that I did the first gig with the rig yesterday, and really felt the amp helped me speak naturally.  It's still hard for me to remember to keep the right hand light.  Many positive comments on the amp from players in the audience.
Check with suhr re the minimix compatibility with the TC before buying....something about phase relationships with some units that convert the whole signal to digital...I don't know the details.   The nice thing about it is that you run a full signal into the reverb, but only add a bit into the mix.

Thanks. It is a special amp. I have been gigging with it for almost a year now and any time there is a knowledgeable guitarist in the crowd they will come up, check it out and tell me how good the amp sounds.  How do you compare it  to the Two Rock?

Interesting question- the Two Rock is both similar and different.
It's a Custom Reverb (NOT sig).
The TR seems to have a bit of a midrange bump that makes it a bit fussy in response to pedals.  It's overdrive is smoother, almost like a Soldano, but without the full harmonic content and....texture of the OTS.   Works nice with a strat playing clean leads.  Pretty much like the Mayer trio recording.  Just a different voice.
But, it's got built in reverb, which makes it a bit quicker to set up, but the reverb does detract from the punch.
As I said, I was perfectly happy with it until I stumbled on Marin's clip while looking for pickups. 
With all of these amps, you get either the perfect clean, or the perfect lead, but not both without changing settings. That's why I'm leaning toward a 2 head, one 2 x 12 cab set up.

Let's try that one more time.



Tony, that was really cool.

Your clip confirms that I prefer the S&M version! Cheesy

Marin,
Thanks so much.  I wasn't looking for a new amp or had even heard of Ceriatone when I stumbled on one of your youtubes , and was struck by your stellar tone.    I always thought a lot o the Dumble magic was in the  upper harmonics, so I went for the S and M, with parts to mod to the standard OTS if I didn't like it.  The HRM/non HRM clip was particularly helpful.  I couldn't be happier with my choice.

Hi Tony,

thats cool. We must be "tone brothers"! Wink

(I never understood why people wanted to mod it).

I am flattered to have been a tone reference.

Well if you decide to go that way, here is a link you may find interesting: http://www.tonebone.com/tb-headbone-vt.htm

Thanks for the feedback on the TR vs OTS.

Thanks for the link.  I've had some great results with a Ernie ball pan pedal at the end of my chain with inputs going to each head, which goes to it's own speaker. The new Hum X seems to cure all ground loop issues I prefer this because:
a. I can blend the two amps, or even morph a note or phrase from clean to distorted
b. Basically 2 discrete  amp/speaker units means backup in case of failure of either speaker or head
c. I can run a stereo rig (especially nice for clean) using the Line 6 delay and tc chorus for 3d effect, which is nice for the Mike Stern type thing for those types of gigs.
d. I'm still only carrying one  cabinet, and 2 heads- each relatively lighter than the 2 Boogies (@ about 90 lbs each) I used to carry with me.  The older I get, the heavier the boogies feel.
e. if the band's really loud or the room large,  my 2   50 watt systems can be run simultaneously for 100watts
f. sometimes it's nice to blend lead tones, like Bonamassa
Attached is a photo of my one amp pedalboard- I just add the ernie ball to the right of my other volume pedal and keep the 2 cables on the board in place to plug in if necessary from the line 6 to blender. should I change to the stereo rig.
I have both TR and Ceriatone footswitches mounted because i'm too lazy to take them on and off.  I have them positioned so I can change simultaneously with one foot stomp.

Hum X   It's a little device to put between the outlet and the plug of a second amp to eliminate ground loop hum while maintaining the safety of  grounded equipment.  Basically has the same sonic effect as lifting the ground with one of those 3 prong to 2 prong connectors, except you don't die on a bad day.
