Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Advice on OTS amp

Thanks again for the replies guys, much appreciated.
There seems to be a HRM Bluesmaster on eBay, and it seems this amp very different again, from the other OTS's. The technical jargon gets a little lost on me, I understand there is a lot going on in any Dumble style amp, which is why I'll opt to just get the whole thing assembled by Ceriatone. Like my initial feelings, I think the HRM mkII is the one for me, at least as my first Dumble style amp.

Thanks for the reply 212Mavguy,
I think it's the HRM for me, my only other question is where does the Bluesmaster sit in all of this? I was thinking Klein-lator for my amp, cos it's small and portable, and I did read that it can sit in the back of the amp. Yeah I noticed the SSS model, I have a Zendrive which I love, but I think I want some amp overdrive at this stage.

Ceriatone / Overtone / Advice on OTS amp

Hi all,
I am interested in the Overtone Special amp, which there seem to be a few variations on. The clean sound is very important to me, I need to be able to retain clarity at high volume with no break up, the overdrive sound - I'm sure I'd probably like all the Overtone models, I guess I'm interested in what the trade off's are with the combination of clean / overdrive sounds in the different models of amp. For what it's worth I'm into Robben Ford and Larry Carlton / Steely Dan, it's important for me to be able to get a good jazz sound, but I also play a lot of funk / soul etc, semi-hollow guitar and sometimes a Strat. The HRM mk2 kinda seemed the obvious first choice to me, from what I could glean from the website.
I also read on the forum (I think) that the 100w amps aren't much louder than the 50w's ones, but kinda give more tone or something, hence people saying this were suggesting that the 100w amps were the ones to get, really?
One last thing, I am wondering what is the most economical kit / build for a head, is it worth just getting the entire thing made up (I absolutely do not trust myself to build one, even if I did have the time), but I could install tubes, amp into the cab etc, thoughts?
Thanks in advance
