Ceriatone Forum

I've been lurking here for a couple of months now, deciding which amp to go with and today finally bit the bullet and ordered an Overtone kit. I was looking at Two Rock amps for a long while wondering how the hell I was going to get one of those (they are $7000 equivalent here in the UK and fetch >$5000 s/h) as my favourite guitarist Matt Schofield  plays one and his tone is immense

(check him out on YouTube, he is amazing).

Since listening to, especially marinblues, clips on youtube it seems the OT was close enough and certainly a lot cheaper so I decided to jump before the demand gets too high for Nik to cope.

I've noted a few things reading here. The OD trimmer does have an effect on the OD tone apparently so why should I not move that pot to the rear faceplate to make it easy to adjust (ie play with)?

Has anyone got an Overtone going through a 4x10. I've built one with jensen P10R's and really like it, but I just wondered, whats it like with the OT as compared to a 2x12 G12-65 say? What about Celestion Alnico Blues anyone?

Anyway it seems the wait for kits is nothing like the wait for built amps so I'm looking forward to getting soldering soon.

Thanks guys,

I tried mine through a pair of Blues and it sounded good. I was afraid I'd blow them though so now I'm using 2 G12H. I'm currently dealing for a pair of G12-65. If you can't beat em join em.
