that is about the coolest looking rig ever!  Your sound clip kicks ass. thanks!

like the Beatles said, "It's getting better all the time..."  I've been working with the Overtone, swapping tubes, adjusting trim pots, breaking the faceplate, and shocking the crap out of myself...LOL! I am learning about amps, tubes, caps, resistors, and pot...I mean "pots".  I'm sort of getting into this.  Maybe it was the 120 volt shock I took last night while adjusting the OD trimmer, but I think this amp  has put some kind of mojo on me.  I am getting some very cool sounds...even with my Telecaster!  Yes...you all will say "I told you so..."  I STILL don't hear the carlton/ford tone, but what i am hearing is very sweet...inspiring even!

Guys... I read all of the reviews... listened to ALL of the sound clips I could find.  That's why I bought this amp in the first place.  I own 2 other "boutique" amps and I get great sounds with them no matter where I set the controls.  I don't subscribe to all of this "breaking in" and knob twiddling.  I think I hear Ebay calling!

I got my Overtone yesterday.  Nik said it would be about 3 months...no prob.

Of course it didn't work when I fired it up.  Looked for the owners manual...there is none ~sigh~ Checked the obvious fuse...it was fine.  Finally I found a secondary fuse. It was blown.  Changed it. Fired it up again...plug in(with my Telecaster) and hear very unmusical distortion on the "FET" channel(input). It really sounds like a broken amp...sorry that's probably not techincal enough, but that's what it sounded like. After about an hour of frustration. I plugged into the "NOR" channel. That sounded better...at least it didn't sound broken.  It sounded like your garden variety fender amp to me...shrill highs, flabby lows.  The clean sound is excellent, but I have pedals that sound better than the distortion channel.  An hour later I plug in with my Les Paul.  The "FET" channel still sounds broken.  The "NOR" channel actually sounds good! 

I spent the rest of the night playing with all the controls...I still don't understand some of 'em. What is a "Rock/Jazz"switch?  I also noticed that there is no "Mid Boost"...instead there is a "Deep" switch...useless on Fender amps for years so why are we using it on this amp?  The tone controls don't work when the little green light is on(footswitch) but maybe it's supposed to do that. After a few hours the Carlton/Ford sound is still no where to be found.  It's a decent box but so far it seems pretty limited and  it seems completely useless with my main guitar (telecaster).
