Hi All - I am new to the form and as I type my new 100 watt OTS is winging its way towards Richmond Va and should be making one of my Splawns move over tomorrow afternoon in my barn.  I am very exited and anticipate this amp to be everything it is cracked up to be. I do have several questions for you seasoned Ceriatone owners.

1) I have heard some buzz on a few different websites, some maybe not so friendly towards clones, that Ceriatone keeps costs down by using lower grade parts where they can.  Conversely, I have read the opposite, that their parts are all high quality military grade and PTP construction.  Any truth to the rumors???

also,

2) I ordered the FX loop as well on my OTS........and I have also read these are not so good.  Any truth to that and if so why?  And if so, anything that can be done once I get the amp?

Just as a note, I have read every review of these amps I can find and have yet to read one that was negative, or even like warm. They are all great reviews.....

All the best,
Bob
