Ceriatone's Custom, hand-built Overtone Special series amplifiers pay tribute to some of the great Dumble boutique guitar amplifiers of the past 40 years, such as the Overdrive Special, Steel String Singer, Winterland and others. Many of the great guitarists of the past 40 years used a Dumble to create their exquisite tone and singing sustain. Stevie Ray Vaughan. Carlos Santana. Robben Ford. Larry Carlton. John Mayer. Joe Bonamassa. Lowell George. This OTS "183" is a tribute to the Dumble amp SN #183.  Much more aggressive OD with lesser cleans than the OTS and S&M versions. Brighter than the OTS and S&M, this aggressive amp has more compression also than previous versions. You can literally save thousands of dollars over comparable boutique amplifiers. The tones of many of the truly great guitarists are kept alive at Ceriatone!

Great chord articulation and string definition. Wonderful for blues, rock, country, and jazz. The Ceriatone Overtone Special (OTS) S&M is a hand built, point to point hand wired boutique guitar amplifier that was designed to capture those great Dumble-esque tones and singing sustain. As with the original Overdrive Specials, none of these amps have reverb, but they do have a passive effects loop. You should purchase our C-lator (tube) or Klein-ulator (solid state) effects loop buffer to use your time-based effects (Chorus, Reverb, Delay, Flange, Phasing, etc.) with maximum effect and minimum noise.
