So i've seen the Gil input mod for low end roll off which is 4.7M paralleled with a 47pf which seem like a super low cutoff to me as far as cutting bass flub. Isn't that like 7.2hz? And then I saw Xtian mention trying the Marshall 470k+470pf (720hz?) which he said worked well and makes sense to me ...

Thanks for the rundown Gil..I remember drooling over those pictures however,completely forgetting it was a H.P.C for some reason I thought it was a low plate.(long time ago) I am thinking the same as you that with the right combo of parts i will be able to ditch the bleeder..Hopefully. So a couple ...

Beautiful looking build Gil. Thanks for the update. Is that 500k trimmer used on the OD entrance? I see you installed the treble bleed as well, nice! Guy Thanks, Guy. BTW, that was my 6th build from circa 2006, I believe it found a new home that same year. The OD trimmer was 100K and yes, it had th...

I've been slowly building parts for my next build to scratch my obsessive compulsive addiction of these amps and help get me out of this Covid slump :twisted: The only ODS I have not tackled yet is the High Plate Classic. I know most of you out there are Skyliner freaks and that's cool! I get it,Sk...

Keeping the bass low on the Skyliner gets a sound that works good enough for me with Strats and neck humbuckers. Gil, Based on previous threads I believe you are referring to OD mode when you say you keep the bass low on Skyliner. I have found that works for me. My only dilemma is that I sometimes ...

Gil I know you guy's in Cal got hit hard with all the restaurant shutdowns...I just hope these clubs/bars can survive through it?.. I have quite a few friends who play Nationally Out of Nashville who say the same thing about a year for them as well..Lets hope everyone can hold out long enough so wh...

more or less the same for me :( I got 2 days into a 40 date tour in March and then boooooom everything shut down. Fortunately I've been able to fire up my amps as studio work has continued with on line and remote sessions etc I have dates in the diary for live work starting in July...lets see how t...

Gil Thanks for your opinion on the Classic! I had a similar issue with the mids! A friend of mine gave me a quad of closely matched RCA Black Plates :D I was all excited to use them in the Classic when I finished it thinking it would be a good match,However, after playing it for a few days the mids...

Ok! The Classic was kind of a Mutt going in,basically from parts left over from the Music man build. As I was building it several members sent me some Q-lines to try :D However I was not able to find a 220K so I found the Allen Bradley CC's to be a similar sounding resistor. If I ever run across on...

Here are a few more of the Low Plate Classic..Really beginning to warm up to this amp :D Tony Looking great, like always, Tony! Quick question, why the CF pre OD resistors on the Classic? Hope al is well, G. Hey Gil Are you talking about the OD entrance resistors? or ? Tony Yes I am. G.

Hope al is well,

A few thoughts: Let's not forget the FACT that many "builders" like Tyler, Marsh, Lil Dawg (and surely others), buy Ceriatone amps and resell them as their own. Besides Nik being a direct competitor, we have others reselling his stuff too !! These guys don't mention that the amps are re-branded imp...

What pickup or pickup combination are you using for your clean with the Strat? And same question for OD? Maybe we can start there. G. I replaced vintage noiseless pickups with 57/62s - your recommendation in an old post. I love those pickups! In clean mode I love the neck pickup but it's heavy on t...

Thanks Gil. Over the past several months I may have been reading your posts in the wrong order. I have been manipulating the tone controls on my both my strat and amp to finesse the OD tone using suggestions from you with good results. I am able to get both clean and OD sounds/tone that I love. The...

I will send him a quick text maybe he can comment further.. Tony Yes you did, Tony. :D I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said about this. As far as the "bass reducer" network, the intent was to shave off some of the bass - duh! The effect was kind of subtle, but noticeable. I used i...
