I must be getting close then mine went in the 4/15 (4/14 Nik's date) as well but no notice yet.  Maybe I'm next?

Dumbleseeker, do let us newbies know about your impressions.

Of those who recently received their amps, how long did you wait?  My order was 12 weeks ago today.  I was wondering if I am getting close?

Steven,
  Don't feel alone, I live in Texas and there are probably more soldering irons on my block than cowboy hats.  But I have never used one.  Some of us just are techno challenged.  That why I'd rather just buy something and pop it on. Grin

Anybody have a link to ordering a 9v supply that fits the Klein? 
65  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Kleinulator 9v plug on: July 05, 2008, 05:16:29 PM
Steven, what connector did you end up using that fit it properly and had the correct polarity?
Thanks

Is it possible the "fizz" may be partially due to the low volume with high gain?  I am no technical guru but as one who plays at home volumes a lot that fizzy thing is common (when low with gain) on several amps I have had. Until they reach that point where they open up enough to hear the amps voice.  I call it the break over point and every amp I have had has one.

In other words, in my experience you don't get the full plate of tone until the amp is allowed to speak loud enough to get it all out.  The fizz in my experience is like an amp that is choked and only a smidge of what it is trying to say is allowed to come out.

Now, hows that for technical prowess?Huh??

Thank you sir, I look forward to dialing that in when I get mine.  Please keep 'em coming.
68  Ceriatone / Overtone / Post Your Favorite Settings...Please. on: July 03, 2008, 02:40:46 PM
Another poster mentioned interest in this and I have thought about it too.  Would those of you who have found your sweet spots in the settings put them in this thread.   Please include the speaker cab and guitar you favor the setting(s) with.  I know I would appreciate it as starting points for when my amp arrives and others would benefit from each persons findings.

I appreciate your consideration and contributions.

Thanks, keep us posted.

Well...report. Those of us still waiting live vicariously through those of you who have theirs.  Do tell... :Smiley
71  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: DHL at the door on: July 01, 2008, 08:50:29 PM
how quick?
72  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Overtone Soundclips on: June 22, 2008, 12:31:34 AM
I inquired about the setting with Nik a few weeks ago.  Since mine is going to be a complete cab I wanted the ten o'clock setting many preferred and wanted to stay clear of the marshall sound.  Anyhow, Nik said he characteristically sets them at 10 o'clock from the factory so I am hoping that is what you, Marin have yours set on.  I have a 335 and your Tokai sounds killer and you have made me want a Tele in the worst way.

cadsy,
   I really wish I could answer your initial question regarding the Overtone.  I have a few more weeks to wait and I'll be seeking a similar sound among many others.  In listening to that clip, honestly, I found it to be pretty Fenderish with perhaps a bit of extra something on the harmonic end of things...but not much.  I am glad you posted it.  I coped a few licks off of it!  A lot of that tone is present in much of Mayers playing and equipment usage, with or without a two rocks.  I think his pups are wired specifically to his tastes.  I like that tone as well and will try to dial it in when the Overtone gets here.  I hope my different than the majority speaker choice will help that.  I'll let you know if I think I find that ballpark sound with the Overtone.  I imagine it is in there somewhere.

Someone said earlier it'll do basically what a Fender (tube) amp will.  I hope that is correct. That sound was in that Fender ball park to my ears.

If I can't eq that sound in, I'll still be pleased to settle with many of the posted tones.  I like that Dumblish tone and am a big Robben Ford/Larry Carlton fan. That sound, my current Fender amp won't quite do. If I can do that bluesy Mayerish/SRVish tone too...that'll just be gravy.
74  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Snap, Crackle & Pop from my OTS??? on: June 20, 2008, 08:24:48 PM
Here's a loooong shot but it went into my bag of been theres.  I had a Fender 65 reverb that did that from day one and only after it got hot.  I took it to two very good amp techs and neither found it.  Then one day, by chance, I found out it was simply the speaker jack in the back of the amp.  It wasn't making really secure contact and when the amp heated up it expanded and exasperated the problem and it would show out on occassion when it felt like it.  It would pop and crack every so often it would  lose the signal for a brief second and then go on like nothing was wrong.

Now I am a techno dummy so that is about as far as I can explain it.  Sometimes things are really simple.

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...

I am still waiting on my overtone but am quite familiar with Fender Amps.  In all I have owned six.  All but one was a tube amp.  Currently I have a Fender Concert 1x12 that has been with me for quite some time. 

A few observations and comments, much of which has been already spoken of in various places.  A lot of the richness of the two rocks clip comes from Mayer.  There are dynamics in his approach and timing that are typically him and well done, but the tone itself can be approached from many good Fenderish amps.  My concert that I paid three or four hundred bucks for (used) about 10 years ago will get very close to that with a Fulldrive 2, a strat (kinman AVN blues in the neck and middle) and the tone rolled back to taste.  THe missing ingredient is that I am not Mayer!

So much of the tone is in the hands.  As an example the absolute best version of an SRV song (other than SRV himself) I have ever heard was by a friend of mine, who is a blues phenom.  We jammed one day and he was playing through a small Fender SS amp with a stock strat and tubescreamer.  I would have never thought you could coax that sound out of that gerber baby amp.  He did.

Also there are a great many more clips on youtube than jazz noodling.  Very nice players too.  Great tones a plenty.  I do look forward to getting my amp but from what I have heard and my experience with Fenderish tones, they'll will get you lots of places but have their limitations as do all...I don't imagine the tone in that Mayer clip is out of reach because I can come pretty darn close with what I have now.

I would like to see some varying styles as well.  Perhaps as the amp useage gets more widespread we will.  That being said I am very grateful to the really fine players who took the time to post many of the clips that are up.  Spm72 and Marin sold me the day I stumbled on to the clips.

I chose to make a different speaker cab choice (other than the G1265s) based upon my quest to include that strat vibe that is Fendery...we'll see if I did the right thing because I still want what I have heard from others as well.

Someone has already said in this thread or another that "the best thing we can all do to improve our tone (and I would insert versatility) is to work on being better players".  My equipment is already better than I am and I imagine the Overtone will simply widen that gap... Grin

Regards,
Casken
