Ceriatone / Overtone / Anyone have Custom Shop 69 pickup sound clips?

Hey guys
i've been going on and off thinking about this Ceriatone OTS amplifier, as well as the blackface twin (mostly the evil twin version) and the blackface super reverb.
But one thing that i realized when i checked out the fender BFs is that i was using pickups similar to a Custom Shop 69 pickup (I use Suhr V60 LPs), which really made the amps sound very stratty and squeaky clean. These pickups, to me, sound drastically different from the other strat pickups.
So, does anyone here have a set of either one of those pickups to record mostly on the clean channel? I'd love to hear the overdrive on them too, hehe.

Me too.
Just received my BBe Max-X2 which is a crossover (which I intend bridging) with Sonic maximiser built in. Also have a G# to go in the loop. Will report back on how it fares.
ooo great! if you can record it, can you record it with and without the effects in the loop? i want to see how big of a difference it makes |

I just wanted to pass on to you my latest upgrade that has yielded remarkable results with the strat. The best part is you don't have to mod your OTS to make it a Two Rock and you can accomplish this a lot cheaper than buying that TR.
As I have mentioned before, I have settings on my OTS that get a very good fenderish tone with my strat. The first key is to leave the deep switch off and stay out of the "rock" mode. These add that mid-range that makes the strat sound somewhat bloated. Now, I have just set-up a rack with a TC Electronic G-sharp and a BBE Sonic Maximizer 482i. I bought both new for a total of less than $280 US. They are running through the effects loop.
With the OTS set up at 5 across the board except having the mid and base at about 7, Bright on, Deep off, Jazz on, OD and PAB on, I have a tone that far exceeds may '66 BFSR. The sonic maximizer will give you that "bigger tone, full bass with superior clarity" that heard in the TR. That is what it is design to do. The guitar actually has a very clean tone with the above settings. I just tried it with my FullDrive 2 to get a little hair on the tone and it was very, very nice.
Check out the BBE Sonic Maximizer.
Sounds nice! any chance you can get some clips up with the above settings?? I am not set up for computer recording, so I can't get something out quick. Sorry. I do have a 16 track digital recorder that I can produce .mp3's with. It resides at my band's rehearsal space and I don't use the OTS at rehearsal. However I gig with the OTS and my next gig is on 9 August. I will see if we can set up the recorder for the gig and record something that will give you an idea of what is going on with the BBE 482i and my strat settings. John, do you still have any recordings? I'm still curious  |

I bought that leather in some store, here locally. I went there and just hand picked what I thought it would look good. I think I succeed.  i wish i knew how to do that. i would get a smooth black leather for it. any idea how i could do that? tips on getting my own leather and applying it to the bare wood? |

Ceriatone / Overtone / Other cabinets for the overtone.

i was wondering if you guys can compile a list of pictures and places of different cabinet colors in this thread. I'd love to see a variaton of them all in one thread! also, i wanted to get a silver(or gunmetal)-tweed colored cabinet for my overtone in the future, but i don't know if that even exists. If you look at john mayer's amp head cabinet, you might see a LITTLE BIT of what i mean: http://www.themusiczoo.com/2Rock_John_Mayer_Combo.jpgit would be a dream if i could get a color style like that  but anyway, i'd like to see the different colors |
