Ceriatone - Worth the hype?

rico

I had a 2204 which I think @roberty subsequently bought - it was a great sounding amp (I bought it chassis only then had a headshell made) made better with some TAD preamps in the relevant positions. Didn't quite have enough oomph for one of my projects so it made way for a Matamp.

I have an OTS 50w head that sounds fantastic. Probably against popular opinion, mine sounds best with my teles!

I know it probably doesn’t count for much but I have Nik’s Klon clone and it really is superb, it’s about as close as I’ve heard sonically. He’s a top bloke and I’ve discussed numerous amps with him but I’m yet to pull the trigger.

i quite fancy one of the SSS.

I'm assuming it's stunning
I have an HRM 100w, which must be the closest model to the SSS

When you get it let me know mate, I’m curious how it is!

There was a video clip of the SSS on the Ceriatone Facebook page. I'm not a big SRV fan but I love  the tones on this.

Indeed, that strat sounds like it has a 70 gauge bottom E

Had their bassman that MJW put together for me and stupidly sold it, now own the Muchle$$ Lightning and love it! Excellent quality and for the money amazing

Only problem I find with Ceriaton and hence my thread is which one to choose! Their seems to be so many options. Originally im after a Trainwreck clone but I play alot of blues rock stuff and I like that cranked marshall sound so maybe a plexi clone would be better??

Do they do an affordable amazing attenuator as well?

The "Joyful Music" 50 model looks to be literally the perfect, size, looks and tone for me

Get the 100.  The master volumes on these amps work very well and the extra tonal quality of bigger OT is definitely worth it.
