Ceriatone SSS Clips

Post by stratcat62 »

Ceriatone SSS clips just posted at the Ceriatone forum. Nicky Moroch on guitar. Mostly overdrive from the amp in these videos.

Cleaner clips may have made more sense, but the OD sounds are pretty good as far as I can tell from these YouTube vids.

Is Nicky at the Ceriatone factory?

Also I didn't think the SSS had overdrive?

Looks like the factory. I think the Ceriatone has a FET input that is being used for OD.

Those clips don't sound that interesting to me.

Nicky Moroch is just like the rest of us shopping from one amp builder to another.

Guitar players change guitars, amps, speakers and effect pedals like most people change underwear, quite often.

The loyalty to one builder doesn't last long.

Right. I just meant that he had it sufficiently cranked into overdrive. Hopefully it will do those Larry Carlton "Renegade Gentleman" tones. The Ceriatone sounds like it may with the right guitar. Moroch seems to like it, FWIW.

Nicky is a hired gun, you can find hundreds of clips on Youtube of him trying various amps and guitars.

Paul Reed Smith likes him to demo for him.

They must have made it worth his while to fly to Malaysia.

I wonder if he liked the heat and humidity.

That shop had ceiling fans, I wonder if they have AC.

I assume one of those gentlemen was Nik.

It does sound ok, but not at all what I think of when I think of a good SSS. I would not want a SSS that sounds ok. I want one that sounds incredible.
