I've had my FM50 with c'lator since December. Was hoping to get some clips up but just haven't had time. It's an incredible amp. There are many tones in it. Much more versatile than I imagined. Clean, light crunch, rockabilly, classic rock, blues... just amazing. Took me a while to get my basic settings down. The controls are quite sensitive and interactive so take the time, the reward is great. I pretty much control master volume on the c'lator and adjust the drive knob based on the song. Enjoy!

How bad does it sound without the c-lator? I plan on getting the C-lator lator after build?

I received my FM50 + Clator about two months ago. I mounted it in a Gabkits 1x12 cab (great cabs btw) with a Warehouse ET65. The FM50 is a fantastic amp that, IMO, sounds great without a Clator. FYI...the FM50 is not a straight copy of the Ojai/Ford amp; it has been modded a bit to be a bit warmer so, contrary to what some of the other members of this board say, the Clator isn't required. However, with the Clator, the FM50 is incredible...

Anyway, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Just make sure to read the manual thoroughly, learn how the controls interact, and play with them...a lot. This amp is mind-bogglingly versatile and takes time to get to know. Also, give it time to break-in...the components need time (~60 - 80 hours) to fully break-in, so if the amp sounds a bit stiff/sterile to you at first, give it time. AND...play with different varieties of tubes; currently, I have the stock set in, but I swapped in/out a bunch of different sets and it does change the character slightly.

Oh...I guess I should mention that although I've built five different kit amps, I had this one pre-built. Reason? Just too busy, a little lazy, and more than a little impatient. Smiley

Anyway, welcome...and ENJOY!!!

Thats funny, I ordered the kit because I didnt want to wait 2 months for my amp to be built. A little impatient myself.
Thank you

I would agree with nobnard on all counts. I like the c'lator for interfacing with my delay but it's definitely not a requirement. It slightly changes the character and I could easily see someone preferring the sound without the c'lator.
