Ceriatone 50 watt jmp clone?

[Motorpud]

Does anybody know what one of these is worth used? I've got an opportunity to buy one pretty cheap thats also supposed to be modded by Nik at Ceriatone but I'm not really sure what its actually worth Any info anybody could offer up would be cool

The kits are suprisingly little coin to sound as good as they do, I'm not sure if you can buy them assembled, but if you can, I would think a hair more than half that?

 

[Motorpud]

I see, he said it has the "Zakk Wylde" mod done to it. Not really sure what it's all about, I think I'm gonna pass on it, I'm feeling very unsure

 

[JTyson]

never heard of that one, maybe give it a listen?

Yeah I may, I just just wondering if it was actually worth it money wise in case I didn't jive with it after a while so I didn't get raped on resale I need some Marshall in my life though, I've been feeling it lately

well if "pretty cheap" means under $600/shipped,buy it! i got my hands on a used one that i traded one of the forum members for a used Orange Tiny Terror amp(plus some cash from me).it was also "built by Nik" from Ceriatone amps.i had it modded and it sounds KICKASS! they are excellent ptp amps.one of the assumed downfalls is that guys think that the trannys are crappy sounding/quality.a guy on the metro forum did an a/b with his Ceriatone Plexi 50w amp with the orig trannys & then with a fresh set of Metro Amps trannies.he said the "tone" was undiscernable.so basically a waste of $300 plus dollars.

I'm not sure, I asked the guy the same thing and he said it has an adjustable bias but the only thing hes ever used in it are 6L6s, KT66s,KT88s, and EL34s.

glad ya liked it,bro yeah i think you cant go wrong if the price is right! as far as it having a mod done to it,remember that it's a ptp amp and they're so easy to work on,mod,unmod,etc...you can send it off to jerry dyer,dave friedman or mike fortin,as they've all given the amp a "thumbs-up" for modding purposes.you can always boost it with a good o/d pedal if that's a level of gain that suits ya.....many options,that's fo' sho good luck!

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it He said it can already do 80s metal so I figure I'm set and if I need more I've got a few ODs to throw in front of it. If I still need more thenmaybe it'll go to one of those guys. Either way, thanks for the input

 

[Bleedback]

Don't mean to detract the topic of the thread...but can Dave mod these ceritone JMP's just the same as a Marshall JMP's? I'd love to have a JMP with all the "naked/APC" mods done to it--but can't really afford the actual Marshall.

you can grab a naylor/budda schematic and do it yourself if you're experient with a soldering iron
