More Ceriatone 2550... (Page 1 of 2)

I'm digging the sound of that amp.  I think that its a tremendous bang for the buck - looks good, sounds great.  Maybe do another vid same length with only the Ceriatone - all dry and no effects?

Congrats on the new amp   

Sounds good Alex, nails the Bridge to Better Days tone!  That's a cool JB inspired rig you have there.  Maybe we could see a video with the same rig + Gigliotti ?  Thanks for sharing!

Hi Bonabuddies,

thanks for all the kind comments.

Steve, I did already. Watch the video again and around 4:00 I switched the Budda and all effects off.
You hear the dry sound of the Ceriatone then.

Eva, thanks for the flowers! Indeed, I'm very happy to call #140 my own.
I sold a Gibson '57 Goldtop VOS for it. I thought it would be the LP in the world..until I played the JBLP.
You can come around whenever you're close to Braunschweig and make some noise with it over the amps.
I'd be happy.

You're welcome Paul. A video with the Gigliotti would be no problem. I try to make one next week on tuesday
when I rehearse with my little blues band. Otherwise, I don't want to bore the people here with too many videos...
But maybe you can do a vid? When I read your current toys then I'd be more than curious...:D

I use a really poor cabinet. Its a Marshall 1936 cab. It has 2x12" speakers.
I separated them and connect one amp to each speaker. I replaced them to a EVM12L for the Ceriatone
and currently a G12T-75 (former a G12H-30 heritage which I blew up) for the Budda. I will put in a Celestion Gold soon.
So its a very small and compact setup. My 2550 is the 50 watt version. Its more practicable with the volume.
But you can opt for the 100watt as well.

Thanks
Alex

Settings are gain on 3.5, Output master 6.5 and gain master 6.
Pretty much less you might think. But I was amazed at the amount of gain the amp can produce.
I'm not certain how good and articulated this still would sound?
Anyway, I'm personally convinced about these amps and highly recommend them.

Hey Alex,

That sounds great! I am hoping to do something similar with my 2553 and a 68 Fender Bassman head. I also have a Marshall 1936 212 cab I don't love it but its ok. So my big question is when you play live how are you going to mic that cab? One mic on each speaker? I am guessing most of the venues here would have a cow if I did that.

Paul, you just need a didgicam (mine is a simply photo camera where you make video clips).
With USE connection you can upload the MPG file to your pc. And then you just upload it to
Youtube. Its very very simple. But of course the sound quality isn't the best this way.
I like the idea of the JB inspired rigs. Some of the guys here have amazing stuff.
I think about Bens 4 amp rig. Amazing.

BigE, I still struggle with my cab too, but I like that its small sized and I can
transport my whole stuff alone in my car. Yes I mic both speakers and blend them
1:1 over the PA. Its important to have the proper Sound in mix too.
In smaller venues I rather play a 2x12 Valvetech Hayseed combo or even a tiny
Marshall 1974x.

Ken, you have a point here. The dirty channel sounds quiet close to the 2550.
A bit different of course. But no point to play two same sounding amps.

Alex

SOUNDS GREAT ALEX
                                Nice playing too noticed a few licks I recognise from somewhere:lol;lol;
                                Does the Ceriatone sound clearer than the jubilee or is it because you
                                have the input gain quite low , with les paul I like the gain around 4
                                and strat 6.5 since you have the mids of the budda I lhinkyou  would
                                also get away with this.  but it is personal taste after all!

                         I ALSO WAIT TO HEAR GIGILOTTI

"Everybody's entitled to my opinion.

Cool, looking forward to the clip! And of course it would be great to meet up again - I´ll be at both gigs I think.
We´ve already arranged a forum meeting in Hamburg, so let us know if you´re coming.
