Heheh...

Nah I just can't. Taking money like that leaves me unable to sleep.

Thanks!

Hello,

  HRM is soon to release.

  I thought I'd post and see what people would like as part of the feature:

a) The amp will have:

i) Pull bright switch
ii) Deep (as in actual Deep switch)
iii) Mid Boost
iv) Rock Jazz

  For i) ie the Pull bright switch, which would you like to see:

A) Original no bright cap and with 270pf (or other values) bright when pulled?

OR

B) 120pf in normal mode, and 180pf (total 300pf) in bright mode.

  The clean# aint that nice with no bright cap, and thats with a Strat.

Thanks!

Nik

It's a good idea, but not sure if I'd have the time. It will involve quite some effort, esp since we have so many models.

And changes will wreak havoc indeed.

Angryclient: Dammit Ceriatone. You were using RMC ceramic discs before. How dare you changed mine to Spragues!?

Ceriatone: Mmm...cause we ran out of those ole RMCs?

Angryclient: Unacceptable!


Maybe I can work out something to make it general, we'll see.

Thanks!

Nik

Hey wassup,

  Yeah, I dont mind if the question is what i use, or why.

  But usually, it's just strong assumption.

  The thing is, I do see posts on forum, from so called Dumble experts. If they cant recognize what we use, then on what basis are they experts? By price?

  I do get emails from techs who work on real amps regularly as well. They seem to do know better, including parts of Radio Shack origin in originals.

  If people are willing to pay 50K for originals with these parts, who am I to say that's wrong?

  Nor would I say the RS parts inferior. They work with the amp as a system, sounds good, and thats all there is to it.

Thanks!

Nik

LOL!

Yeah, still the same old type found in caves on top of mountains!

For 600, I'll give you the best one that's from the very bottom of the pile - the magical ones!

Hey Chris,

  Heh, I guess so. The psychology behind pricing, you got a point

 But I will not raise price just because. Only if we have to, like increase in costs for raw materials, fuel, and such.

  Otherwise, we'd be no different. It's Tone For the Masses, and that aint gonna change.

 But answering on this point day in and day out, sometimes it does get old. I dont mind if people ask what components I use.

 But coming straight away and assuming we use inferior parts, whereas we use pretty much what was in originals, and of comparable quality, thats something else.

 GuitarGod: Are your trannies good quality? Who makes em?

 Ceriatone: Jupiter Magnetics.

Thanks!

Nik

GuitarGod: Hello Ceriatone. I'd like an Overtone Special. But, since you're in Asia, can I upgrade to higher quality components?

Ceriatone: Thanks for the email. Yes, sure thing. We can upgrade to the highest quality components. Just like D*** used. This includes RN65 resistors, Sprague PS type caps and we'd go better - we'll use teflon silver plated wire, and custom wound trannies thatd sound better than any Fender types, which D*** used.

But it'd cost you USD 300 extra.

GuitarGod: Oh OK, cool! I will be glad to pay! Make me a nice one!


Ceriatone: Duh!


It's weird when people want to talk quality, yet cant tell from Sprague PS type to a Mallory 150 cap.

I guess that's why people are willing to pay 5K or more for an amp.

Or maybe I should really use low quality parts, and charge the extra USD 300 for parts that I actually already use now? Seems like a good idea, since there are lots of people like this.

Note: THis experiment really took place. In the end, I told em thats what we already use in the amp. He's still thinking. I suspect he wants to still pay extra 300. We do have mojo dust for USD 299.99

Thanks!

Nik

Hello,

Proud to announce that www.gabkits.com has cabinets to offer for Ceriatone amplifiers.

This is for USA/America clients, specifically. They know our sizes, so no worries about fit.

They also have Overtone head and combo types as well!

Awesome Blosom, Miss Bosom - as they say in Uruguay when something cool comes up!

Thanks

Nik

Hi all,

  Do note that in the overtone, Deep is actually Mid Boost.

  I am not sure why I chose Mid Boost over actual Deep, but I guess #124 had Mid Boost.

  The HRM version will have all, ie both Deep and Mid Boost. Just to avoid having to do one or the other thru requests . So I just have em both...

Thanks!

Nik

Warning:

I will not accept putting G-String in this.

Unless it's Carmen Electra's.

Thanks!

Nik

Hi

  I had this same exact idea! Even bought a G major off ebay to do it.

  Thats great man.

  Maybe i should make the cab like this. Or have the slot done in a way you can take the cover on/off, depending if you're using a rack unit there, or not.

  Thanks!

Nik

Heheh...

Your secret recipe - no fair. Anything with viagra in it will work for anything, of course!

Hi

Im here.

It's flu season here in Malaysia, and I do get it once in 2 years or so.

But if you dont hear, do try alternate email addresses (the hotmail one).

For some reason, I can email aol.com now!

 I kept telling ppl with aol.com address when the emails bounced that I dated aol's boss daughter and he was pissed! I guess he got wind of my email, so the trick worked! Heh

att.net still hates us.

Thanks!

nik

Damn!

The magic number for D-amp should be 41.35W!

Tweak tweak tweakety tweak.

Hi all,

  AI sent to Jaz, with all mods highlighted in red already for the values.

  Except for 3K3 resistor on PS board.

  Jaz can export out as jpeg, actually, from AI.

Thanks!
