My bandmates commented on how 'clear and natural' my different guitars sound! " A.Goldberg VIC Used in the Fender 5F4 Tweed Super, 5E5A Tweed Pro, and the 5E7 Tweed Bandmaster circuits. Even my Iommi Special which has really dark humbuckers sounds great, chimey on the cleans and really thick organic overdrive when you crank the amp, and even better when I push it with a booster. It really brings out the subtleties of my different guitars, my Strat and Tele sound fantastic, chimey and clear pm cleans, and dirty and bluesy when I crank the natural overdrive in the amp.
The amp sounds great, it took all my effects perfectly - delay, germanium boosts, bigmuff, phasers. I used it live with one of the bands I play in back in December, and it sat really well in the mix, and I just used it with my proper band and my effects rack.

Guitar is a Gretsch 6129T Sparkle Jet w/ TV Jones T-90 in the. Never the less, I have discussed the matter with Nik, and I sincerely hope that it will be correct on future complete comboamps.Īnother small detail - one have to add a tiny little angeled bracket on the big tranny, to help carry the weight when assembeled to the cabinet. Quick iPhone clip of some random picking through my 3x10 5E7 Tweed Bandmaster clone from Weber. Easily done, but in a country like sweden I had to pay som 160 USD( ! ) to have it done (Yes Sweden is a expensive country), since I am not able to do it myself. I have made the modification so that I have only connected 4 Ohms and 8 Ohms. Therefore one need the 4 ohms tap connected.Īgain, since the original Fender from 1955 had 3x 8 Ohms speakes connected in parallell, one would want that.
Nik said it was due to the fact that on the comboversion there was not room for a threeway selector.ģx8 Ohms speakers in parallell gives you a resistance that the amp "can see" of abt 2,67 Ohm. So far the only problem has been that Ceriatone did not connect the 4 Ohms tap from the OT, but the 8 - and 16 Ohm. The cabinet will show up tomorrow, then I will put them together with 3x 10" Celestion from abt 1965. I have one, completely assembeled by Ceriatone.
