All user reviews for the CeriaTone JTM 45 65' Handwired

Tube amp with two channels not switchable but "bridgeable" or "bridged".
2xKT66 3x12ax7 rectifier and a lamp.
2 volume, 1 treble, 1 medium, 1bass, a presence, a master.
2 speaker outputs, a selector for 4/8/16 ohm impedance.
A potentiometer to adjust the bias.

Power: 35 watts according to Nik Ceriatone.

In view of options and knowing that I was looking for this type of amp, I put 10.

UTILIZATION

Configuration to the old: on, playing with volume knob and pedals to change the sound.
The settings are easy but you must adjust the lower quarter because the amp is naturally very bassy. It also takes time to find the optimum settings between the two channels taking into account the sounds of guitars and pedals.

SOUNDS

I was looking for an amp for blues sounds but can venture into other styles like rock, classic rock, indie rock. It meets the specifications perfectly, but it has lots of character. It sounds very old school.

The clean / normal channel: then it's simply fabulous. It's hot, slap it, it's momentum a little bit especially crystalline and rather fat. It is a very rich sound. it is VERY blues in mind. This channel is a snap pedals: everything sounds right away. My BB preamp that I was disappointed until now sings joyously above: that happiness!

the high treble channel: as its name suggests, it sounds quite sharp, a bit mushy in my ear and chouille aggressive. I'm not a fan, but I have not yet fully tested its capabilities. I do not use that in combination with the normal channel.

Once bridged, we have the best of both worlds and with the proper dosage, it has a slightly crunchy sound, very blues, which once boosted with an overdrive becomes very savage. With distortion, we get a very fat and his Marshalian, the classic is a cut to his rock, but the old one. Fan MC5, Hendrix, SRV, Gary Moore, Billy Gibbons this amp is really what you need.

Well, I should put 8 because for now, I am not fully satisfied with the high treble channel, but in compensation, the receiver delivers great sound, so I put 10.

OVERALL OPINION

Well, since I got my cab (2x12: 1 + 1 G12H30 G12M), I try to play whenever I have a little time. It is a pure delight. A Start and my BB preamp and I never tire of the sound that I get. The sound is never aggressive, it's always full and rich, but obviously the sound after that I ran a long time.
I once was very happy with my amp but now I have never taken much pleasure to play on. Obviously, he has great character and everyone will not like, but it will satisfy all lovers of the Blues.
