1  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: How Fender can the OTS get? on: June 24, 2008, 05:25:09 PM
Hey where's marin on this thread? Smiley

I just finished an amp building three day course and now I have decided to build my overtone when I have the money to get the kit,  a challenge that will keep me out of trouble!

 He also played many a Fender when recording,

Its not a pissing contest I was merely being playful, for me as I said before I just want to know if I'm gonna buy one or not period, so this is research.

Peace

P.S. If everyone want a Fender tone, why not try to get a Fender sample instead of a Two Rock one? I think that that would be harder.


Well maybe you could give it a go Marin I'm sure you got the chops for a little hendrix chording or just jamming out some nice deep rythm perhaps, then maybe we can put an end to this thread, two rock / fender in that particular example they're in the same ball park for the tone we're talking about. Cool

no it means can it do something else other than jazz noodling, which is 99.999% of what ive seen of this amp..

that two rock video just happened to be a video on youtube of an amp that is supposed to sound quite similar to the OTS, but displayed a completely different angle on the amps usage...

You still haven't explained why you believe the Overtone is not versatile.

Versatility is an relative term and needs to be referenced. Your only argument for the Overtone's non-versatility is  "Hey, it can't do one particular tone which another clone can".

Just for the sake of the discussion,  for all we know, the amp you are referencing  may be able to do only that one tone.

Does this make the Overtone less versatile? I don't think so, and above all - it is less versatile compared to what???

It's like saying that an apple doesn't taste good because it doesn't taste like an orange.

As Jack said before, there are tons of clips of the Overtone around which IMHO support the "versatility" of the Overtone.

Then again, as I mentioned before, "versatility" is a relative term, and albeit all the different samples, the Overtone will never be versatile enough to some.


M.

Now Marin you seem to be possibly verging on the defensive side with your apples and oranges.

I think the amp sounds fantastic! what me and others are trying to acheive is knowledge that aside from the sounds and tones we have so far heard that it is also capable of the warm fender tone as for me that would be an essential colour in my pallette, you are indeed right in saying that most of the fenders only do that sound which is precisely why I'm not going to buy the Fender Vibrolux custom reverb I played recently  because although it has the most lusheous and warm clean tone I've heard it does not offer other styles very well and breaks up way too early, and is also another £300, so its not by way of critisism that we hound you all it's passionate curiosity and a necessity to know whether or not this amp can truely deliver that particular sound on top of the other great sounds that it has to offer or not, because if it can then i'll put my money where my mouth is and buy one, and please don't take this the wrong way but whover said earlier that most of the postings are 99.9% jazz rock noodlings is right , I would really like to hear rythm blues chords played in the neck pickup position in contrast to all the top end lead stuff,
over and out

Hi guys,

no offense, i think everyone that has posted a clip has hit some great tone, and are all good players.  But to be honest i think they all kind of lean around the same sort of tone and no one has really showed the versatility that this amp is supposed to have...

whilst the distorted tones of this amp have been thrown around greatly in here, i am yet to hear an attempt at a mellow "make your heart melt" tone...

so, considering this is a competitor of the two-rocks/fuchs/etc.. i was wondering if anyone who owns an amp could please try to replicate this, from a two-rock signature:



if that sort of tone can even be approached on this OTS, then i think we would all gain a much greater appreciation of the versatility of sounds this amp can reproduce.

i only say this because although the carlton/ford tones are sweet, i would like to see if you can hit more traditional bluesy tones...

ps i think if that clean sound above was matched with a slight boost from an ibaneztube screamer it would just about be heaven from a speaker Tongue

cheers guys Smiley (and im sorry i dont mean to sound like a troll!)


Thats odd I was just about to post something that said exactly that, I am very tempted to buy one of these amps as they sound as if they should be amazing but all the sound clips or vids I've seen or heard I find quite sterile, and they are all noodling solo stuff! can someone out there give us some nice warm and earthy hendrix A bit of castles made of sand perhaps or  nice warm blues rythm, and you're right everone seems to be dialling in the same tone, I find it a little spiky considering this amp is supposed to be modelled on Blackface Fender type amps, so come on guys give us some lush warmth and maybe even a  chord or two perhaps and lastly some very different examples of what is tonally possible with the amps switching and eq.

cheers
