1  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Two Rock Sig 1x12 Cab with 1265 vs EVM12L 1x12 Cab on: January 02, 2010, 12:02:53 AM
I have tried the exact cab and speakers. The cab is oversize and very deep. The resonance quite low, in fact too low for me. The sound also doesn't leap out of the front of the cab, it sounds big and "behind" the cab, even with the amp presence up. I have an OTS 50. The EV is very clear and doesn't compress or break up. It also has really tight bass. It opens up the somewhat dark tones of the 6L6 tubes. It is awesome with Tele and low output pickups. You can dime the amp and it hangs better than anything else. I also have a WGS 1265 (clone) which is much clearer than the Celestion G12-65. The C G12 is more syrupy with a lower mid hump and WGS has a higher mid hump. Playing in traffic we had a problem with the C G12 as the frequencies got lost with the bass player especially playing humbuckers. Just did not cut. The WGS was voiced better and thus a wise choice in that scenario. Comparing the EV and the two 1265's versions, I would say that if you play loud the EV is really the only choice. In fact it sounds a little lifeless until you send lots of juice into it. If you mike your cab then the WGS has more character than the EV and I would suggest that. The C G12 is way overpriced and just too muddy for us. We use the OTS with a Zendrive 1 & 2, a Clark Gainster (for some "brown" edge) and a CE Overdrive (Cause & Effect) which was designed for Dumble gain stacking circuits. We play blues and soulful contemporary music using pine & ash Tele's, a Strat and a 335.

I do not have the S&M model, mine is the OTS 100 watt, and I did my own mods following a combination of traditonal fender values and original dumble values.  I originally had the J. Zucker mods and that sounded like cotton in my ears.  Pure midrange.  Now it sounds real cool.  I would try, in lieu of tweeks to the tone stack or anything, turning the midboost off and the bright off.  They seem to deffeat the purpose of tone knobs on my amp.  I have no use for them.  Also, this OTS tone stack has a lot of mids that funnel their way into the highs and lows  so it really isn't "super" responsive.  Try treb. bass. and mid. at 0.  Then turn your mids up first.  Then add treble and bass and listen for the changes.  That will be the jist of the range you will be able to get and its a good way to prep your ear.  I'm sure you will find what you are looking for, though.(quote)

REPLY: Respectfully, I am not a muppet nor am I deaf. I can also flip switches and turn knobs in combinations. Your time is appreciated but I am seeking "technical info" not pen pals. If you want to share your value changes, great. Much obliged.
3  Ceriatone / Overtone / Need more range from Bass, Mid, Treble controls on: March 22, 2009, 01:30:02 AM
I have a OTS S&M model built by Ceriatone. I am not trying to recreate a master piece, I just want a nice sounding amp that does what I need it to. My #1 challenge is that when I turn each of the Bass, Mid and Treble controls from 0>10>0>10 I don't get much effect from any of them. Most of the time the flip switches are Bright (up), Rock (up) and Mid Boost (up). At gig level I can't get any noticeable range at all. No, the PAB is not engaged. I'm not that silly. Perhaps it's value changes that move the bass frequency down more and the treble up. Maybe it needs to be more Blackface in nature. I am no expert technically and need help. Respectfully, a lecture on what "it's supposed to be" doesn't move me forward. I simply need to make this thing work for me, the way I see it. Some suggestions from technically minded people would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. Kind regards.
