Welcome to the forum...

There's quite a lot of clips already posted of the Overtone being played with various guitars and styles. There's also a few threads with mods people are performing on their OTS.

I haven't placed my order yet, but I'm certain that the Overtone is the amp for me...never realised I was searching for that Robben Ford sound until I stumbled onto the Overtone as an affordable alternative to a Two Rock and read plenty of posts about his tone...

Check out  Ceriatone Overtone on You Tube. Lots of clips with both Les Pauls  and Strats. 8)

I've listened to pretty much most of the clips up on here and am convinced that an Overtone will be my next amp.

I would be interested to know whether anyone has had the chance to compare it to a Two Rock though. Especially the modded OTS clean sounds versus the legendary Two Rock clean sounds...

Anyone got both?

i've signed up for the IGF Matt Schofield week long workshop in Bath so I'm hoping I will get a chance to try his TR and I might well take my OTS and see what the differences are. I'll keep you posted.

you dont need to get the overtone all that loud for it to sound good, infact, even when at full volume, it is still pretty quiet in relative terms.

Oh right. No not had chance to compare yet, the workshop isn't till the end of July. Might not get the chance even then.

I don't think the OT is going to be as good as a TR  though, they are rather special in the right hands.
