help with choosing Ceriatone amp

Post by jono_1uk »

Hi Guys

i am considering pulling the trigger on a Ceritone... BUT ,,i need to make sure i get the correct one.
My style is SRV/kWS/ Mayer ... strat with 12-58 ..sometimes in Eb ..with TS an KLON clone Pedal etc ..cab will be a 2x12 with EVM12-L or Celestion 12 Gold ...
Which Ceriatone amp do people reckon please?
i am thinking SSS but there are other amps on you tube that appear to give "SRV like" tones.
I will be playing in the house for now ( using a THD hotplate attenuator) to enable higher vol then normal
and the pedals to encourage breakup.
Advice please guys!

Welcome to The Amp Garage. Since you are new here, you should take the opportunity to search and read the vast amount of information contained on this site. There is a sticky in this section that you may want to read:

Nik has 'acquired' many designs from this site, which has left a deep impact in many ways. In general, asking about Ceriatone amps is like putting a turd in the punch bowl. Perhaps you should ask Nik?

Hi

Thanks for the "heads up" ,,i did read that thread 1st but i thought it was
regarding asking for technical help on Ceriatone..
I have asked the same question 1st on the dedicated Ceriatone forum but as it has a fairly small community nobody has answered.
i then did search in google for "Dumble Forum" and the top ling brought me here!

so ..as you can see i have tried.... :)

Jono I would either email Nik and ask him directly or if your on facebook he has a FB page you can like and ask on FB too.

I would say the SSS is the best for what you want but maybe a Bluesmaster HRM 100 would work as well.
