Borrowed this bad boy back from Dvoricci who I sold it to about a year ago and DAMN. Im kicking myself for letting this and my Yeti go!

I know you fellas are fairly familiar with these amps around rig-talk, but if you're not, you need to be. I really really dug playing this amp for my playthrough demo and I think I need to find another yeti or chupacabra in short order.

 
I dig your videos man. I had a Molecular 50 and a Yeti 50 and both were pretty killer. Never had a chance to try the Chupa yet. Yet.:yes: Was the MXR boost on the whole time? Even when you turned on the TS?
 
Sounds great! I can't count the times I've almost bought a Chuppa...still can't believe I've never tried one.

Thanks man! I appreciate that. Yes, you've got a few cool videos up of the ceriatone stuff. Their amps are great.

And no, that's the "bump" button. It's always lit when the pedal has power even when the boost isn't engaged. Kind of a design flaw imo but it has no bearing on the sound when the boost is off.
 
That thing will maul just about anything.
What more do ya need?
You seem like a solid dude man.
Your vid's get to the bloodbath real quick.

That would destroy the Rock Wizard with plenty
of room to spare.

Ceriatone's website kills me. I know the chupa/yeti/molecular are pretty close but damn if I wouldnt want one of each. I sold my molecular 50 and I really wish I didnt. I have a leviathan showing up sometime this week. It was supposed to be here by Wednesday but UPS keeps delaying it. It's in Alaska as of 1pm today so hopefully I can get it Saturday.
 
Great tones right there. What are the bright switch settings? Are they on the Bright or Brightest setting? I'm assuming middle position is OFF (no bright).

I'd love to get another King Kong and do some mods.
 
Never heard a Ceriatone clip that didn’t sound really, really good. The only complaint I have ever read about those amps is the quality of transformers available in Malaysia. I guess some folks order with no transformers and have better iron installed once they arrive? At the price point a d build quality, it’s really hard to beat.
 
Man, another killer demo with awesome audio! Keep up the good work. That amp sounds great. I had a Yeti, and as great as it was, I always thought it to be a little too smooth. Isn’t the Chupa voiced more aggressively?

According to Nik the Chupa is brighter and more aggressive. I’ve been Chupacurious for years. MyYeti was pretty killer though.
 
Sounds really terrific! Insane Good?
Can someone tell me what the difference is between the chupacabra and the molecular?
Trying to decide, without playing either is very difficult?…

Thanks man! I had the bright switches in the left position for the whole video. You can see the settings and me tweaking them in the amp closeup shots!
