Ceriatone / Overtone / How well do OTSs sell on eBay?

Hey guys, I'm looking to sell my OTS Special, 50 watts, with external OD and half power switch on the bay in about 2 weeks and I was wondering what kind of price you can get. There aren't any up at the moment.

Hey all,
50 watt OTS without the head cab for sale here. Comes with footswitch, external OD trim pot and half power switch. It was well taken care of, used in a smoke free house and barely taken out. I'll include the original tubes plus a pair of winged C's. I'm located in Montreal and I'd be willing to part with it for $900 (absolute lowest) plus shipping as this seems to be the going rate on the board.
Also, it was built by Nik and it is a year old.
Thanks,
Alex

Good info!
Tommy, I have the TR1265 and TR1265R. I'm curious about the TR1265B after your post. When I bought my speakers, I don't think the B was in production. Do you know what it sounds like compared to its predecessors?

you'd need new transformers which will run you around $400. so if you change them make sure you get some real high quality ones.
I've been thinking of possibly doing a 2xKT88 100 watter. IMO the KT88 tubes have a much better bass response. It doesnt get "farty" or "flabby"just nice and smooth like you would expect from a bass amp, while still retaining the other pleasurable qualities of the 6L6 sound. and you wouldnt need to wire in the extra sockets
I like the sound of that non-farty bass with a 100 watts. Do the KT88's entail something more than a rebias? |

Yeah, it really does sound just like you described; great some days and not-so-great on others. It dives me a bit nuts. I also feel like the more times I turn it on and off during a day, the less great it gets. For the record: when my head and/or ears think it's great, it's GREAT! I still don't know what to make of it but I figure most of the responses will be along the same lines as yours is.
If you do find one day it sounds dull and lifeless, measure the mains voltage. I think, but I'm not sure that when its low the amp sounds less than perfect. Wish I knew how but I'm a noob at that stuff  Yeah, it really does sound just like you described; great some days and not-so-great on others. It dives me a bit nuts.

Well, you've said it yourself "I also feel like the more times I turn it on and off during a day, the less great it gets" - yes, you get 'dog ears' from playing all day long. Everyone, who haved tried mixing a track - home or in a studio - know that if you spend 8 hours on a mix, the next day you will have to 'undo' the last 4 hours (of the 8 hours spend). The longer you listen, the worse it gets. Nothing new. Same with painters, who state that it is within the first minute, of entering their (painting) studio, that they can actually 'see' their paintings as they are. So they need to work fast if they want to correct something in a painting. It is almost the same with guitar amp tweaking, you have to judge the sound with 'fresh ears' or else you are just getting farther and farther away from good sound. Good points. One thing I could do is record some stuff on a day I think it sounds great and again on an off day. If my head doesn't make me play worse, maybe I'll see that it's the same or that it isn't. |

Ceriatone / Overtone / How long do you let your OTS warm up before playing?

Now I might be crazy regarding this but bare with me. It seems as though there is a huge difference in my clean especially when I let my OTS warm up on standby for let's say 3 minutes vs 15 minutes. However, sometimes I get the feeling that I left it on standby too long. I would like to get everyone's input and everyone's experiences on this. How long do you let your amp warm up optimally? Anyone else notice a difference like mine?
Take care,
Alex

I'm hoping to buy the parts necessary for this mod and have a tech install it but I have a few questions:
1) In the original post, are those the only mods present in the diagram? I don't want to permanently change the sound of the amp, only add the options with all the switches and maybe do the PAB mod.
2) The tech I know is one of those guys that uses the cheapest parts says "Why are you using that? I can buy that part for 25 cents and save you a dollar," but I don't want to go cheap on this amp's mods so I'd like to buy the parts somewhere and bring them to him. Could someone make a list of the parts needed for this noob?
Thanks for everything,
Alex
