I usually used Mesas. I decided I wanted to try something different. Sold my Mesa Boogie and ordered the Ceriatone OTS Lunchbox head w/o a cabinet. 22 watts. The email I got back said ten week for delivery. So I figured I had plenty of time to build a nice cab. A week later my wife calls me at work and say there’s a huge heavy box on the front porch, please bring it in when you get home. I asked her what is it? She tells me it’s from Malaysia. My amp! In a week. “Cancel my afternoon patients” I’m going home. My staff blocked the door and pointed to the clinic. So I get home after work and unboxed it. Playing an amp without a cabinet is deadly. For real. I spent the weekend building the cab and have been in love with this amp ever since.

This is hands down, one of the best amp demos I’ve ever seen on KZfaq. You didn’t use a ton of reverb, compression, and other effects to cover up things. Just your hands and the amp. Fantastic!😎

Nik builds great amps. Great Demo. Locally in Malaysia it's pronounced "Cherry - uh - tone"

Just played the first gig with this amp and clator, two hours ago - reverb and delay in the loop. Blown away. What a crazy good sounding amp! In love 😍

Finally someone who knows how to pronounce this fabulous amp. never knew it was cherry a tone! I've heard these live in new hope pa. the best amps in the world other than FUCHs.

For years i tried to nail David Lindleys lap steel tone. Then i got a Ceriatone OTS Mini 20, their 20 watt version of a Dumble. got that sound i've been searching for and been in love with this amp ever since. IMHO Ceriatone makes the best D style amp for the money.

My dad owns a Ceriatone Molecular and it's an absolute monster. Ceriatone does not disappoint.

It's pronounced *CHERRY-A-TONE* Trust me, I'm Malaysian. Their office is just 10 minutes away from my home.

Very honourable of you to go through with that sale.

I bought one of these in a 1x12 combo for really cheap because of this video. I’m new to your channel but I freaking love it!!! Thank you for the heaviness at the end. About time someone plays some heavy stuff with these amps

I just acquired one of these Overtone Special Ceritones off FB Market today... I played a Overdrive Special by Dumble a couple of weeks ago... This Ceritone doesn’t disappoint... It’s spot on.... I was using a Shin Music Dumbloid for my OD until today... It’s a great amp and wasn’t hard to dial in what I’ve been looking for... The C Lator was the tricky part, but I’m dialed in now!!!

Yup. That’s pretty much a Dumble. The Pre-amp boost gave it really nice tone...reminded me of SRV’s Dumble tones.

I wish I could turn up a Dumble to “Yeet” and play. Sounds great. Love your playing.

Love my Ceriatone Yeti and Chupa amplifiers! Great company! And you should see the craftsmanship inside the amp!

First time viewer. Excellent mix of explanation and playing. Thanks! I enjoyed the backstory. Also... MARRY THAT WOMAN!

Living right on the edge of breakup is a fine place to live.

I have a Ceriatone SSS 50watt amp, and that amp is so good, headroom for days, and a beautiful breathiness as well. Cant go past a Ceriatone, and they are built like a tank

The OD sound IS. The sound I’ve been searching for

holy crap, i can not believe how this baby cleans up so so so sweetly by just lightening up your attack. thats magical man. how much money???

Yes, very nice sounding ! I own one too, use it with a "Fender Reverb Unit - there is nothing better ."

yeah everyone raves about these amps.. sounds incredible,.. on the bucketlist

Awesome! Great amp! I wonder if you still have this amp coz i don't see it in your channel for a while.

I haven’t been so taken with a strat’s appearance in awhile, gorgeous and the amplifier sounds incredible!

The C-Lator is the absolute easiest thing ever to use. Plug the "send" from the amp into the "in" on the clator and the "return" on the amp into the "out" on the clator. Now the send and return on the clator is your effects loop. Set the "drive" on the clator to noon, set the "in" control full up and the "out" to taste (the out will now serve as your master volume). Set the bright switches to taste. There you go, you wont blow anything up. I adds some harmonics and you can use the drive to add more gain to your signal if you want (both clean and overdrive channels). It will darken the tone a little, some like it some not so much. But it's worth a try. You can use it a bit like an attenuator like this too because of the second master volume. Let me know if it works!

I have a OTS 50 and love it! Such a great sounding amp!

Thinking of buying myself a JM-50 from Ceriatone, this is some good audible proof that they make great stuff haha

i just found a used OTS 50 (no c-later).. your video had a big part in my decision to get it. Great playing Buddy!

Looking at Ceriatones and I'm glad I found this. Man does that sound amazing!

Love the amp. Love your playing- enjoyed every moment of this demo.

I have the Ceriaton OTS FM50 M.E Mod along with the C-Lator ...I LOVE that amp! great playing & tones!

It's nice to ear Dumble clone demo with playing more raw/energic/intense. So much dumble clone demo are done with fusion/soft attack/too kindly playing.

Nuts! That sound so sweet!

well done ... now I'am hearing this amp right.

Thanks for the review, very informative and well done. I’m probably going to pull the trigger on this amp! Nice playing as well.

Omg😮 that sounds incredible!!!

Great sounding amp and even better sounding guitar playing!!!!

That drive and compression is insane

I have the exact same amp as you except it's the 100/50 watt version , not that I have ever had it on 100 watts , I run a Boomerang chorus /delay pedal through the send return of the buffer that's the only pedal I need for a few songs other than that the amp has every sound in it that you would ever need , if you want to run pedals through the buffer run 2x 6.5mm cables from the send and return of the amp down to the send and return of the buffer and then plug in your pedals into the other 2 send and return jacks of the buffer it works great , these amps are built like a tank and sound fantastic , thanks to Nick

This sounds fucking incredible man. What a tone and fantastic playing.

Now this a channel that went under my radar.. you got a new follower buddy, keep it up.. cheers!

Wow, amazing tone and playing man. Great demo! I need one now

I have a Ceriatone Muchless Stray Cat 30, one hell of an amp and I'm going to tell you I would love to have the one that you have, I need to talk to my wife into getting this for me.... Definitely good stuff

Delicious tones

I’m new to your channel, watched a few vids and really liking them. But when your turned the amp overdrive on, well, it felt like an experience put it that way 😂 Awesome playing on it.

I think I need to investigate more about the Ceriatone...

LOUDER LOUDER LOOUDER!!!

ok Buddy.. very nice playing. Very very nice.

Cool demo!

That girl is a keeper!

I mis printed, 102 & 183 are pretty close. I think Dumbles sound great on V30's, a little diff. but that can be good too.

I’ve wanted the HRM for 16 years.

Think I’m going to have to take the 34 week lead time and order one of these beasts! So good.

I have the lunchbox version of the Ceriatone OTS. 22 watts. No raged high end like a Marshall. No ice pick distortion like an overdriven Fender. Just sweet tubey goodness. Nice demo.

Thank you. Great video 👌😊

Damn.. This amp is good.. I....WANT.....

Hey Buddy! Just stumbled across the channel and I've got say, you've got some amazing content. Quality is top notch and your personality is amazing. I was wondering if there would be anyway to get you to fire up the OTS with that 345 on your wall. I've got a 345 and am considering putting in an order with Nik, but would love to hear some tones first! Cheers mate! I'll definitely be passing your channel along to others

Alas, the closest I'll ever get to a Dumble is my Gladio SC. It would take a lottery win to procure the Ceriatone!

Thx for answer on OD trim. Recommendation for where it should be set? I prefer just a bit of break-up. All these pots seem interactive. By the way, built my own, including the cab.

fantastic review!

Madison bought him this Amp. Great Wife!!!

Pure excellence!

INSTANT Sub! Came here for the Ceriatone, stayed for the everything else :D

Cool demo

Sweet tones Boss Chops!

I love my cieratone and Nik is uhmazin

Hey Buddy, you're a fantastic player. Love your channel ❤️ 🎸

Really liked your story! Cheers 🥂

first bar of playing and i instantly absolutely want this. how much. ???

Excellent! 🔥🔥🔥 Now - this ☝🏼 or, the JTM 45 “Experienced” model??? Decisions decisions... Great job, my man! ✌🏼

Great sounding amps as are Dumbles, tho I've found with a 10 band eq in the loop of my jca50 I can dial in almost identical tones on the crunch channel. With the gain way down to 3 the od channel can get very close but slightly smoother and a bit more compressed, and more aggressive.

Awesome video. Had been looking at the King Kong 50, but now will be checking out these Overtones. Would like a lower wattage amp with 2 channels that can play blues/rock.

The Ceriatone is the best SRV amp that is affordable.

You should give a try at a Fryette PS-100, it can give's you more voicing to any of your amps, it can boost a fender junior up to 100w or can take any 100w and make them 5w. But more importantly, it give's you more voicing with 2 3way switches. One is edge-brite-flat the second deep-warm-flat and they are both interactive with one-an-other plus it give's you a loop to any amp that doesn't already have one. You just get more controle and more sounds to any of your amps. I am fyberglasted by mine, i youse it mainly with my Electro-Harmonix Mig-50, witch by itself already sound great, but put the 2 together and HOMAMA ! With a ventage celestions 2x12 cab from Harley Benton my total combo goes for under 2.5k. I first bought the fryette as a attenuator but now you could also sell me one simply for the voicing and the easiness of sound tweaking that it's adding. Plus the fact that it is an upgrade to any of my future amps.

yes! I'm gonna buy an orange crush 20!

Cherry-a-tone I’m pretty sure is the pronunciation 🤘🏻.

Hi Great playing and great tone! What model of OTS 50 is this one? I see some like "HRM", "FM Modern Eagle", "FM", 183", "S&M" and standard. And what are controls in the bottom of front panel? I'm seriously considering one.

Amazing amp and playing. Would you describe your signal path...speakers, cab, mic, or IR’s!? Thanks in advance. Subscriber already 🍷🍷🍷

Dumble amps are unique to the owners. He always custom made them to fit the owners style. I dont think 2 Dumbles are the same.

Subbed earlier today. Loving the vids

Alright man... you need to stop making such amazing videos with these amps. These type of videos are the reason I use the KZfaq platform. Fantastic job as always!

I've had a dozen or more amps over the years. Last year i settled on the most consistent amp sound I've ever had. Fender De Ville Michael Landau. With a compressor and Benson Fuzz, sonic heaven.

I was fortunate enough to play through a dumbo OD special in the mid-90s that a friend had. That amplifier had built-in magic for days! From what I'm hearing this Cerotone absolutely Nails it man! I understand there's a frightful waiting list but Monday morning I'm getting on that list! Do you know if you have to pay up front for the amplifier or do you pay for it when you take delivery

Sorry, I had post's, post to the wrong video.

Brilliant

came here for ceriatone,subbed for the great overall content..hello from malaysia 👍

your attack is amazing...had to subcribe

Hi Buddy, A couple of years ago I had heard of the Ceriatone HRM amp and Niks JTM45 Bluesbreaker amp. I had read such good reviews on the net and KZfaq and the fact that they were point to point wired which sounded unbelievable for the price, but I was apprehensive about buying it. Everything that I have played in particular was my Vox AC30 Brian May Special Edition amp from 2005. I recently had the amp rebuilt by Michael Klein in Kansas city, Missouri. He's the guy that invented the Klein- u- lator for Ceriatone. The Vox was originally built in China. What a piece of shite at $3000.00 USD RETAIL price. Well Michael turned this amp into the David Petersen amp that was originally built for Mr. May. So I pretty much hate everything made in China. So I was a bit apprehensive about Ceriatone being in Malaysia. But boy was I in for a surprise. Nik Asam was incredibly great. Sent me the the two amps and I have never been more pleased. They rival anything made in the USA. And the price is incredible for what you are getting. State of the Art amplifiers. I was blown away to say the least. I have a Mesa Mesa Tremoverb from 1995 and it sucks bigtime compared to the Ceriatone amps. My hat is off completely to Nik Adan and Michael Klein.

Man your wife's a real jewel hope I find one like that lol

Want to make it sound even better? Replace those JJ's with Gold Lion's! Best tubes I've ever heard.

The amp sounds fantastic! You do have an awesome fiancé.

Amp: sounds amazing Guitar: sounds amazing Playing: sounds amazing My man!

I’m watching this thinking “oh my god I’m gonna get that... I’m gonna get that... and I’m going to sound AWFUL because I’m awful at guitar... dammit.”

Hey Buddy, what kind of cabinet and speakers do you use with a head like this? I’m wanting to get one of these but I’m curious as to what kind of cabinet to get? Also what is that humbucker on the bridge position of that strat? Sounds killer!

Beautiful! Can you practice at home on it too or only sound good when at gig levels?

SRV tones 🙌🎸

I think I'll have to taken one for myself although I dont know if it was your playing or the actual amp.

Hey! Hope you're still enjoying the amp! Just wanted to ask, have you tried running this amp with any other cab/speaker combos? These amps tend to sound their best when hooked up to 2x Celestion G12-65s or 1x EVM12L (you can even double up on the 12Ls if you want!). Feel like you may be missing out a little going through the V30s.

Lastly do they make a combo version of this amp

Yeh I had one and stupidly sold it , I was broke at the time it always regreted it . Those things eat Marshalls fro breakfast !

ceria mean happy so its a happytone , ceriatone from malaysia
