Before you do any mods try a 5751 in the V2 position with the trimmer at 8:30-9:00. YOu could also try and AT7 in V2 without doing any harm but that is a lot lower gain, you might have to turn the trimmer up a notch. I also think the TR are voiced differently, the clean is brighter and less warm than an OTS, but there does appear to be significant differences between different Ceriatone OTS's

Another thing I'm going to try is an AT7 in the PI position, not sure what the effect will be but will let you know when I do. (It will be a while, I need to try it at rehearsal, home volumes won't really tell you much)

Im probably the biggest fan of John Mayer's tone that i know of and I'm wondering how good you can hit that tone with this amp. I talked to Nik and he said some of his tones are in there but what do you all think? This will be my first amp that hasn't been something typical like Fender or Mesa or some huge big name like that so I'm being cautious.

Thanks in advance!

When talking about John Mayer one needs to be careful, because you dont want to come across as one of those try-hard fan boys that just want to BE HIM...so many kids out there just want all his gear and think that it will make them sound good (not accusing you of that at all!)

but in my opinion, as a blues player, I believe the tone he achieves is simply some of the best going around to my ears...

I would prefer my ceriatone, once i get it, to be voiced as similarly to his two-rocks/dumble ODS as humanly possible....getting info on them is very difficult however, im not too sure what era Dumble ODS he has or how it has been voiced Tongue

but yeah i feel you mate, who wouldnt want to hit this tone:



pickmasters mods seem to come the closest to voicing the OTS in this direction i think...

Haha most definitely not a fanboy haha. Fan yes, but thats a different story. Im also a big fan of SRV's tone so today i actually went on ebay and got a Fender Super Reverb. Used by both Mayer and SRV for some of their tones, i figured it would be a better buy for me and i can save some money (only paid $825 for a brand new one). Im also getting a fulltone OCD, Line 6 DL4, and a Keeley Modded TS808.


Waaaaaatch out!

What year is the Super Reverb?

I'll bet you soon start saving for an Overtone though....everyone should have an Overtone....

Yeah, got a brand new one from a guy off ebay for $825. Its one of the new reissues of the 1965 model. It really sounds fantastic, i even got the chance to A/B it to a 1967 SR and to be honest i think i preffer the newer one to the 67 which was about $800 more. BUT let it be known, as im sure all of you know, the vintage models can all vary in tone even if made the same year.....age tends to effect an amp differently from another but i dont have time to look around for the perfect vintage SR.

This amp is killer if you havent tried out one of the reissues give it a shot!

As for an overtone, ive already decided its going to be my next amp.....but thats lookin about 2 years from now when i get out of berklee. Maybe if i make enough as a recording engineer ill just go straight for the two rock but who knows. What i do know is i will still be around on this forum because you all have been a great help and i love talking gear with each of you.

I could spend hours talking about tubes and pedals and what little things i love about chasing tone, and i cant do that with any of my friends because they just aren't "into it" like i am. Its nice to find others that are into it and dont think im just a spoiled 20 year old when in fact ive worked hard and in fact have never gotten a single paycheck since i started working at 16. Its all gone to equipment haha.

Thanks for the help!

One thing about the overtone is that it is point to point. I don't care about the sound debate of this. But after touring for near 15 years with different amps,. the point to point amps are always far more reliable.  This would be the only disadvantage with the new reissues,as in general they sound ok. With a few mods they can sound pretty good.
Some of them sound better than the silver face equivalent specifically the Twin.
