Absolutely standout awesome tone!! Amazing!

[dazcwl]

That tone is awesome :P

[lauriedepaurie]

I'm sooo buying a tokai, what series is your's? And I'm also buying a HRM, too bad money is so hard to get!!! And it's gone, before you realise you had it.... Great job man, and an awesome tone..

[BluesXPer]

I love your Tokai!

[Kristianeb]

is the ceriatones good amps? and do they ship assembled?

[bunkerneil]

Loving it! Where did you get the backing track? Can I have a copy?

[GuitarGermany]

Hi Marinblues,

I have a stock Ceriatone HRM 100 Watt, but mine sounds harsh and fizzy, to much treble at all.

How did you set your tone Stack and what can you recommend to solve that problem?

What is your setting for HRM - Amp in this Video, if you can remember?

Thanks

[cc256stringer]

@GuitarGermany i own the regular OTS, and what i do for that same "problem" is have the tone controls at half way, but some of the treble knocked back to about 3 1/2 or 4. i also turn off the treble switch (with deep and rock switches on) and roll the tone back on my guitar.... worked for me. it took me about a year to really find that sweet spot on the amp

@GuitarGermany and turn the presence to 0

Hi,

nice playing !!

Nice Sound!!

Interesting to know :

Has it modifications or not?

How are the adustments of the knobs?

Mid Boost on?

Deep on or of?

6L6 Tubes?

[BluesRocker52]

I agree with you, but you can play jazz fusion on anything. This guitar and amp beg to be released to live in tonaliscious freedom. ROCK IT brother! I know you can do it! (But no ICDiceC or Leddy Zeppy!)

[dparel]

I also have been trying to decide on which Overtone I want. I've also been looking at his JTM45 clone. It just seems you can't go wrong with any of Nik's amps!! I have a 18w TMB and it ooozes tone!!

[BluesRocker52]

Why does everyone who demos an ODS play fusion jazz? Why can't someone ROCK IT for those of us who like good ol' rock and roll? You're a great player, I know you can awaken the rocker within you! Gimme some crunchy rhythm and blues and show me what that puppy can do when it's not trying to be a Robben Ford or LC wannabe!

[seandog1234]

Incredible tone and playing.

[grindinglicks]

The difference is that the HRM has internal adjustment pots to shape the tone of your lead channel to your needs and also has a bit more gain. This was quoted to me by Nik when I ordered mine. I Also have an OTS.

[LuisWahWah]

Could someone explain to me what the difference is between all of the overtone specials, bluesmaster, HRM, etc. please? I've been looking at buying one and I don't want to bother Nik with what is probably a dumb question.

[weirdotis]

thats a good question... i would like to know too

[elephantcup]

Go to the ceriatone website, find Nik's e-mail, and ask him what you'd like to know. He'll tell you.

Overtone is the 80's ODS Dumble. S&M is a brighter version. HRM is the 90's ODS Dumble, with the extra tone circuit post-gain, and more overdrive available.

The HRM seems to the ticket. Basically a clone of what Robben Ford uses. The HRM Bluesmaster is the Larry Carlton version.

[LuisWahWah]

Thanks. Your knowledge was most appreciated :)

[steven21042]

Tokai?

[nevertoofast2]

Great playing dude, and what a tone! I was leaning more towards the non HRM version but this clip convinced me to get the HRM.

[bordgais88]

the Ceriatone Overtone Special, is that an amp ??

Is that a Tokai ES130 ? , are they the original pickups ? fine playing

[marinblues]

grazie!

[ppatpparis]

that was awesome!!!!

[marinblues]

thanks man.

[Blueslounge]

Good ol' Johnny...ta-ta youuuu, baby

[marinblues]

yep, that the one.

[snoopjmcd]

so now the HRM and non-HRM sound the same.

[marinblues]

thanks. I was a bit brain-dead when I recorded that. :)

[CollyStrings]

I thought your vibrato really shined through with the smooth tone in this video Marin. Awesome phrasing!

[marinblues]

thanks

[willeng84]

@marinblues Brother I know its been along time since this was posted but WOW! That HRM sounds buttery smooth and amazing. I have to get one, I just bought an older handwired Marshall 1987 50 watt and would love another 50 watter to pair with it for a really killer grit, not going for loud just tone. You have personally helped me pick 2 items up, you finalized my decision of reg. OTS or HRM, going HRM, and Jimmy herring told me about the H&K tubefactor and your vid sealed it too.
