Sure thing, I'll let you know Smiley

I really can't thank you enough, Ika!

I will mod it together with a friend in about two weeks :-) Just ordered everything mentioned; including the other parts highlighted in that JM Mod. Seems they are not needed... But can't be to bad to change them, too, I guess :-)
18  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: BM JM Mod on: October 25, 2012, 06:34:22 PM
Okay to sum it up:
The important stuff is this:
•2- or 3-Way switch to select LNFB/switch it off.
•the rotary switch (including 68k slope resistor)
•1k Presence pot
•bright switch = 68pf
•V2's snubbers both 330pf
•Here's a little confusion: "0,01mf cap instead of 0,005 between two resistors before the X –terminal"
  do you really mean mf? or is it a typo and you mean 0,01uf?
(• removing the bass cap is not necessary, right? )

I hope I didn't forget something essential to get me more towards the JM clean sound and have a more useful drive sound? Smiley

Or are these other changes as important as the above mentioned? For example Ratio 200k L or those other value changes on the board where the confusing 0,01uf cap is?

Thanks Ika, you really help me with all those suggestions and tips! Smiley

Thanks for the quick and helpful answer Ika! Smiley
So with the #102 FM-ME layout I just take the additional mods you marked? I don't have to change the amp for #102 specs I guess, right?
(Or I just stick with the mods in that thread here :-)  )

Do you think that 12-way rotary selector switch (instead of treble bleed) would be a good thing to add to this layout to improve the overdrive channel? It's not very useful with a strat right now for me..

Thanks!

Sorry to revive that old thread. I'm still considering to let my OTS 50 getting modded.
It was built in march 2008, so should be like a S&M.
I really like that clean John Mayer/SRV sound, so I'm considering the mods posted in this thread. But since I don't have a recent OTS 50/100 but an early OTS without any mods I'm not sure whether I can use them or better stick with the mods posted by Pickmaster in the thread http://ceriatoneforum.com/index.php?topic=740.0 which were done with an early OTS 50, too.

Maybe someone (best would be Ika himself I guess Smiley ) can chime in here?

Thanks!

21  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: OTS Dr. Irka mod on: October 02, 2012, 09:24:26 AM
but for older ones you recommend it? I've got a March 2008 OTS.
I like the clean channel. Overdrive not that much.

What would your mods cost in parts? (would have to get a tech to install it for me, too...) 
22  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Balance between my clean and my overdrive channel on S&M on: July 14, 2012, 05:00:15 PM
Sounds to me that you should mess with your overdrive trim pot a little as it reduces gain and volume of the OD channel.
23  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: More C-Lator thoughts on: June 07, 2012, 12:07:14 PM
Mine doesn't add any drive at all, so I guess there's something wrong with yours?
24  Ceriatone / SSS / Re: SSS - indication of interest on: May 15, 2012, 01:10:56 PM
Nice!

Would be awesome if you could do a little A/B comparison between the OTS cleansound and the SSS cleansound.
25  Ceriatone / SSS / Re: SSS - indication of interest on: April 02, 2012, 02:35:33 PM
A special request from Nik to make a 'Slow dancing in a burning room' clips.

Fender Strat > Boss Chromatic Tuner > Boss Ru-3 Loop station > SSS

There are two clips in this video.

No 1. was shot with iPhone 4s camera.

No 2. Then tried to redo again with microphone.

I only had the one mic at the time but it really doesn't capture the tone of this amp. There is a certain magic to these beauties that despite my best efforts - i couldn't get recorded.

If i had to describe it, i would say its like a two rock sterling sig, but a bit more raw.

One thing to note on JM's tone is that his tone is a combination of an SSS and his Sig amp, which is almost the same except with a darker voicing. it is the combination of the two that make his sound... that and almost 2 decades of practice!!!!

anyway, i only did one take on these (didnt have time to warm up or anything) but it should help you get an idea of the sound at least... just try ignore the playing haha

Great... Now you did it... Can you tell me, how the hell I am supposed to afford that thing?

Someone wants a kidney?   Grin

(Great clip! What would now interest me is: How does it differ soundwise from a regular OTS with the same cab?)
26  Ceriatone / SSS / Re: SSS - indication of interest on: February 14, 2012, 07:03:37 PM
Looks really nice! I think I'll have to scrape together some money. It sucks to be a poor student  Grin
27  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: HRM 50w into Leslie G27 guitar rotary speaker cabinet on: January 15, 2012, 10:01:20 PM
+1 for the leslie. I'm using an old Echolette leslie together with my OTS S&M and it sounds fantastic. I'm splitting the signal after the Preamp so the leslie is like a second poweramp.
28  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Renewed Love for the Jazz Setting on the HRM Bluesmaster on: October 27, 2011, 09:35:07 PM
I'm pretty sure there is no difference between Jazz and Rock setting in PAB? Well, with my OTS S&M it isn't i think...
PAB is a tonestack bypass and Jazz/Rock is a difference in the tonestack.

whoops I forgot one important word in my post:
"you just need to [solder] a little bit".
Yes you have to solder. but its quite easy. Had the same problem with mine too, was done in a few minutes.
30  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Light on my OTS doesn't come on. Possible causes/fixes? on: September 26, 2011, 02:54:20 PM
Just replace it with an equal lightbulb (i think you can get it at nearly every electronic store).
You just need to a little bit.
Some here also got an LED for that I think...
