1  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Overtone HRM Bluesmaster: 50W or 100W on: December 26, 2010, 05:41:20 PM
Today I tested the Weber 10F150 und 10A150 at my Super Reverb.
Great speakers but I like the old Blue Alnicos more than the Weber. The Eminence are softer and have more bass und the highs are not that hard and glassy than the Weber. But the Weber have tighter basses...

I never tried the Blue Alnico in my Bassman. Is it worth?

Thanks

Fabian

On a side note.
When you have an excellent amp (e,g, the BM, a DC30, etc), and find the speakers you like best, you then reach a great but horrible realisation that almost all the solos by your favourite guitarists on CD sound like the amp was lame, and that the amp you have sounds way better. OK, the recording, mixing and squashing onto CD doesn't help, but we really have such excellent gear these days that it's sad we can't take it back in a time machine to give to our heroes. I know people like to worship vintage gear, but you will find it hard to locate many recordings from the 60s or 70s that can match the tone I can dial up in my amps. Even recent recordings fail to capture how excellent these amps sound when you're in the room, but isn't that the same with any instrument?
OK, the Deluxe, JTM45 and AC30 were great, but look at what we have now, DC30s, Dumbles, boutique amps with whatever refinements you want

Thank you all for your help!

I'm not looking for a sound one guitarplayer had in 1978. I just want to "open" my ears for another sound.
I'm still loving my Blackface Super and my modded Bassman LTD. Both of the sound really fantastic. But I just want to look for something different. The D-Style Amp is not a copy of a Marshall or Fender. It has its own sound.
That's why I want it. Of course, it has to give me Blues sound I described at the beginning of the topic. I'm just looking forward to get it 2011 done.

Well, so I have to tell Nik that he has to add a 100k trimmer instead of the 68k between mid pot and earth.
Is there anything else that has to be modified to make it better?

Thanks a lot!!!

Fabian

Does anyone tested 10" speakers with the HRM BM?
I've got 4 Jensen P10R and 4 Eminence Blue AlNiCo here...

Hello,

that sounds good.
You said something about a trimmer on the PAB. What is it exactly? And is this a special thing that Nik has to build in?

Thanks

Fabian

Hello,

thanks again for your help!

Maybe 100w will be ok. I'm only afraid the amp is too loud for me. Once I had a Marshall JCM 800 with 100W. It was just too loud to play at home or in a small club. It only sounded great if you played it loud on big stages.
That's why I thought of the 50W or 100W. If it's possible to play the 100W HRM BM with lower volumes then it will be ok. And if the HRM BM sounds better than the 50W even at lower volumes it will be perfect for me;-)

How's about a Weber Speaker in combination with the HRM BM?

Thanks

Fabian

I don't need a extreme real clean. I love it when the amp breaks up a little bit if you play hard and gets clean if you play soft.
I play small club gigs but also big gigs with a real big stage. But on a big stage you'll have a microphone in front of it.

But I've read that the 100W has a more open and better sound even at lower volumes. What is your opinion on that?

I didn't thought of speakers yet. First of all I have to decide which version and then I will look for speakers.
The only thing I know is that I want a 2x12 cabinet.

Thanks

Fabian

Hey guys,

first of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Fabian and I live in Germany. I'm the guitar player and singer in a Blues Trio. We play mostly Hendrix, SRV, Bonamassa and a lot of self-written songs.
My setup:
- DIY Strats
- Fernandes Telecasters
- Gibson Les Paul VOS 1960
- modded Fender Bassman LTD.
- orig. Fender Blackface Super Reverb

I'm really happy with this sound. Real bluesy tones;-)

But, Im looking for a different sound. That's way I'm thinking of getting a Ceriatone OTS.
I want a amp with fenderish clean sound and a blues-rockin' smooth, fat Overdrive (something like Bonamassa) for my Les Paul and Strats. Nik has sent me some sound-descriptions of the different Overtones and I think the HRM Bluesmaster will fit to me.
I don't want to take 2 amps with me for a gig. Maybe I can take only one the HRM BM for getting my Blues sound.

But one question is left.
I don't know if I should buy the 50W or 100W version.

Can anyone give me an idea of the differences of the 100W and 50W?

Thank you very much
and

Merry christmas!!

Fabian
