Their Jubilee model is intriguing.

Nothing to complain about, really. I ordered a King Kong last year. Wasn't my thing, but it took a bit longer than the estimated wait time. They were responsive to emails.

Whenever I get around to ordering a Plexi, it will be from them.

Great company. Try to find an used one since the wait time is over an year nowadays. But the amps are great and honestly they're one of the best Marshall clones out there, regardless of price.

great amps. I have the 1987, sounds killer. I got it new from their US distributor for like $800 new before everything went bonkers with covid. reliability is great, any decent amp tech should be able to work on them easily should the need arise

All of the Ceriatone amps (Plexi & JTM45 clones) I've played sounded great to me. Their Two Rock / D Style shit is pretty impressive for the money

My 71 lb., Model Tee shipped from Ceriatone in Malaysia > Philippians > Los Angeles > Long Island NY.
When the FedEx driver dropped it off at my house, he laterally DROPPED it right at my feet.
I expected a broken shell, bent chassis and busted tubes... thank Crom it was packaged effectively because, the outer box was looking pretty bad!!!
It's a killer amp and sounds like a real Sunn Model T.

They answer all email within a day or two and I never heard any complaints online or IRL.

I have their 2204. It's my favorite amp I've ever owned. Does everything from clean to mean. TBF, someone had already been in there from TGP and did some work to it. I had almost forgot about that until just now :lol: But it is in stock form.

hmm I wonder what the TGP guy did to it. These amps are killer right from the factory.

I had one that had upgraded Heyboer transformers and I compared it to one with stock transformers. They sounded very slightly different but it was subtle and wouldn't say one was better than the other.

I had a blacked out Yeti for a while. Sounded great but I ended up with options paralysis. I kept flipping switches and playing with the "P Trimmer" knob on the back.

Yeah. I just heard it. :lol:
