Your quote:

can be applied to a small number of incredible amps that aren't "off the shelf, mass produced, cookie cutter" products. My Ceriatone Liverpool Trainwreck fits in that category as being incredibly versatile and can completely change tonal directions by just twisting one knob.
I think it's a fantastic thing that Nik, offers these "holy grailamps at costs that are well within reach of the working musician. We've heard what highly paid pros can do with them, I can't wait to hear what local "hot hands" can do!

Hey Fierce,
The Liverpull is going to be "one" of my next amps from Nik. Maybe, we've already talked...can't remember....lol. This Overtone is such a giant killer. In all honesty I'm not completely convinced the amp should sound as great as it does. It's a bit of a bizzare "mutt" of a dumble circuit and I think I am one of the few lucky owners of a true fluke.
The OD is every bit as good as my D'lite but the cleans....oh the cleans....brings a tear to my eye.
Mind you,,,this is after A LOT of speaker and tube swapping.
