I had Nik build for me a Super Bass 100 as close as possible to the 67 specs. It has an effects loop that works as well as the one on the OTS  FM100. It is an awesome amp for the money and it really wails when you dig in to it. I did not want a Super Lead because I think some of them are a little bright for my taste. I was wondering, who else has  bought this amp and what they are using with it. I plan to use this with the FM 100 OTS to do kind of a Joe Bonamassa type, 2 amp rig... I know he uses 4 most times. Still need to find a good Y cable....
BTW, with a Wampler Pinnacle pedal this amp is over the top Eddie.

Craftsmanship/soldering/ layout is a work of art too!!

We have been playing the super bass  a lot and the sound from the Avatar cab and the amp is opening up and sounding more and more vintage plexi!! Loud too.. Still got to get a head cab for it. Grin

nobody else has one or even played one ?

No, no one has that super bass yet ('67 spec), as it was custom

'67 or '68 Super Leads, yeah we have done a bunch of those.

We usually do the later 'spec.

But yeah, maybe I should now put on website that we actually DO HAVE '67 68 , etc spec.

I mean, I didnt see any need for that.  It's mostly a change of only a few values of components.

Fine fine....we DO have laydown 100W power trannies, in case someone's gonna say thats where the secret sauce is Smiley

Thanks!

I REALLY get tired of hearing all that crap.
I know, and believe me I do know, that any component CAN make a difference; and a few Little things can add up to be a Big thing. But the BS does get overwhelming. A lot of times, it is just the player and the day. One day you play with yellow caps in the chassis, and then you install blue caps, and it seems like the world caved in. We have good days and bad days, and in-between days, all of the time. Our memories do not work like a computer RAM either. We may think we hear a difference in what we played 5 minutes ago......
I could go on forever, but I won't. Most.......make that ALL good players sound good through any well built, well running amp. Capacitor color and lay-down vs. stand-up is just an excuse to discuss theory.
Appreciate all your efforts Nik.
BTW....I hear your transformer guys are using the wrong color of insulation, on the magnet wire, for the OT's in your Rockit builds. A mistake like that can make ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world.

Thats true, but hey, thats what makes the tube amp world go round? heh..

I was into BMX when i was a kid. And part of the big fun was swapping stems, cranks, pedals and what not.  This was before internet, people were very much more patient back then I think Smiley

On the matter, and this is the truth - even if we use USA made caps, the moment these caps enter Asian air space, they all become sucky.

Otherwise, definitely those people wont say we use sucky parts, right?

Either that, or they are blind, or just have no idea what they're talking abt (we post hundreds of inside pics on the website).  I kinda expect them to know a mallory 150 from a Sozo from a 715P, from 15ft, if they want to talk abt quality of caps?



As for the TW Rock it insulation, I see.

Hmm..that's odd. The trannies are pretty much the same as the other TWs?

The OT has dual tap 5K2 and 6K6.

Blue and Brown for 1 set,      grey and pink for the other tap.

If the guy mistakenly used blue and pink, for example, the tone will indeed be not optimal. And, if played for long and hard, I think the tubes will definitely redplate.


Thanks!

Sorry Nik....
I was just being facetious/sarcastic. I was actually talking about the (32 is it?) small gage magnet wire that is used to wind the transformers.
Just saying that nothing is too unimportant when it comes to criticizing a Ceriatone amp.
And yeah....with all the gut shots of your amps that use Orange Drops, Sozos, Mallory's, or whatever......I cannot figure out what "cheap parts" guys are talking about.
Whatever....I have not even bought one of your kits for several years. When I first started, you (Ceriatone) was a great option for me because there was not that much kit stuff available. There has been a kit boom in the last few years, so I get a lot more stuff from the USA now.
What is even MORE ironic is the fact that Weber was the company that has a history of using crappy parts.......especially cheap China/Asian made transformers. Not anywhere near the quality of iron (silicon steel actually) that you seem to get from Promitheus.
Whatever. Like you say.....nobody listens to reason
Take Care

Hehe, no worries man, me too.

As for the magnet wire, I am not sure which is this? Is it the primary leads?

Anyways, thats true. I am not sure what to do anymore. I guess it's just the way it is.

It's business, so i guess it's normal to bad mouth others.

Yeah thats true on the kits, there are many players now, thats normal, as industry expands, I guess.




Thanks!

Keep doing what you are doing. Most of us (if not all) will keep buying.

Just got my white tolex Gabkits Super Lead Cab with gold piping!
Can a cab really make the amp sound even better? Grin
Also got an Eric Johnson style Y cable that makes blending sound even better!

This thing is so pretty I wanna buy it a new dress w/ pumps.

Yeah Baby!!
