Between emails Nik mentioned a dual channel amp that is a quasi Cameron CCV clone called the King Kong. This will be made available in the March time frame. He also mentioned that they are thinking of making a single channel amp based off of "the third channel of a 4 channel Diezel" for more modern voiced stuff.
Cool stuff happening over at Ceriatone...

The King Kong just made my day. I can't believe I missed out on the $750 yeti/chupa though. That sucks.

you know I am a fan of single channels... I will see how much the amp differs from elchupo when Adams makes it here...

I read on another website the 2 Kong channels were supposed to be one channel yeti and one channel chupa?

No. It's a two-channel Yeti. Clean and Overdrive.

We need a super kong or Godzilla 3 channel with clean, yeti and a chupa then!

I don't think you can make Yeti and Chupa in one amp. Just look at the schematics/layouts on Ceriatone's site and you will see why.
It's the typical battle between .1 and .68 caps in a Marshall circuit, along with a few other parts that probably aren't switchable.

God, I've been dying for the release of this amp forever!
Anyone get a price on a complete 50watt head yet?

If I can't get a CCV then that King Kong looks like a great alternative. I know the price will be right.

I had a CCV. And I had a Chupacabra. Having A/B'd them back-to-back... I'd choose Ceriatone
Plus the build quality on the Chupa I had was leaps and bounds better than the CCV I had.

Tone and feel-wise, what did you like about the Chupa more than the CCV?

Well first I'll you what I liked more about the CCV:
1. Tighter low end.
2. More saturation—more of a wet sound.
3. Better loop.
However the Chupacabra had more character. It was more aggressive. It was more pissed off sounding (what I like). Had more of an upper-mid range emphasis. More growl. Although it was slightly looser in the lows. Although mine was a 50 watt model. And the CCV was 100. So maybe not a far comparison. For a classic rock sound or plexi-like cleans, the Chupa was better. Sounded just like a JMP/Plexi. Because as far as the circuit goes, it is. The CCV is closer to a Bogner in its voicing. More of a low-mid range emphasis. Definitely darker. It's all personal preference. But The CCV just didn't do anything for me.
As far as build quality goes, the CCV had cold solder joints, mis-wired channel switch/LED, components being stressed on the PCB by incorrectly placed zip-ties, pots mounted too low in the chassis, and lazy lead dress that caused noise.
Add to that the price difference and it's an easy choice for me.

Does Ceriatone offer a better loop these days?
