Ceriatone HRM Bluesmaster

Dumble Clone Handwired, Made in Kuala Lumpur, 50Watt.

Hier ein kleiner Auszug aus Nik Azam’s Bestückung des Amps: We use a combination of parts custom-made for us to our specifications (power transformer, output transformer, choke, high-temperature / low-ESR electrolytic capacitors) and those used in the original
amplifiers (Vishay/Dale RN65 precision metal film resistors, 1W carbon film resistors, SBE 6PS polyester film capacitors, high-quality ceramic disc capacitors, Belton tube sockets, and Alpha potentiometers). We prefer high-quality enclosed Cliff (built in the UK) jacks to the open-style Switchcraft jacks used in the originals and many clones. Finally, we occasionally use NOS components from our vast surplus parts collection in locations they work well and complement the voicing or enhance the performance of the amplifier. INPUT jacks provide two tonal options, and are taken from the Fender Tweed and „60s Marshall amplifier designs. The LO input provides a slight reduction in your guitar signal to prevent overloading the amplifier circuitry. As a result, this input has lower gain and also sounds slightly darker. The HI input is the “traditional” input, and will provide maximum gain and an unattenuated representation of your guitar‟s frequency response. VOLUME adjusts the signal strength coming out of the tonestack, and going into the second tube stage. Think of this as a gain control primarily for your clean channel, but note it will impact the overdrive mode as well. BRIGHT is a high-frequency boost that can be used to add sparkle to your tone in both clean and overdrive modes, and BRIGHT is located on the VOLUME control in a push-pull potentiometer design. This high frequency boost is more prominent as VOLUME is turned down. With the VOLUME in the pulled out position, BRIGHT is on. In the pushed in position, BRIGHT is off. DEEP is a low-frequency boost. You can use this to add a rich bottom end to both clean and overdrive tones. In the overdrive mode, you‟ll also notice this will make the amp feel slightly spongier and will have more “give” in the response. With the toggle switch in the UP position, DEEP is on. In the DOWN position, DEEP is off. MID BOOST is a midrange-frequency boost. You can use this to add fatness to your clean or overdrive tones, or even make single coil guitars sound thicker and less scooped. We particularly like MID BOOST with the overdrive mode. With the toggle switch in the UP position, MID BOOST is on. In the DOWN position, MID BOOST is off. ROCK / JAZZ adjusts the overall frequency response and voicing of the amplifier. ROCK has a fatter midrange and a deeper, spongier bottom end. You might find ROCK more familiar territory. JAZZ tightens up the bottom end and adjusts the contour of the midrange, giving the amplifier more of a hi-fi response. Experiment with both, as great sounds rest in each. With the toggle switch in the UP position, ROCK is on. In the DOWN position, JAZZ is on. TREBLE adjusts the high frequency response for both clean and overdrive modes. At near-maximum settings, you may also notice an increase in gain. MIDRANGE adjusts the mid frequency response for both clean and overdrive modes. BASS adjusts low frequencies in your amplifier for both clean and overdrive modes. DRIVE (OVERDRIVE) adjusts the amount of gain, and in turn distortion in the overdrive mode. LEVEL (OVERDRIVE) serves as master volume control for the overdrive channel. It is important to note, just like this version of the original amplifier, there indeed ARE individual master volume controls for the clean and overdrive channels. MASTER (POWER AMP) sets the master volume of the clean channel in the HRM amplifier. PRESENCE (POWER AMP) adjusts the high frequency response of the power amplifier using negative feedback. Use this control to add sparkle and clarity to your tone. Jahrgang: 2011
