I checked and didn't find any thread on this.
I don't own own but my friend bought a 5E3 chassis and built another one that I can't remember using parts from Ceriatone.
The 5E3 sounds fabulous. The other one he's having a bit of problem with the transformer.
Please post specs and some details if you built it.

i have a Ceriatone TrainWreck Express clone with a ppimv and bias test points/adjustment pot so i can swap from 6V6s or EL-34s....
it's proving to be a phenomenal amp....

That is a nice piece of gear. How does the Ron Kirn Tele/s like it? I'm leaning more towards the Overtone Special myself.

my Ceriatone 'wreck clone has worked very well and sounds great with every guitar i've plugged into it....
i'm sure yours will too.

I just got an Overtone Special and a Trainwreck Express (grant money, not mine). I'm waiting for cabinets and speakers, so I haven't played them yet. The Overtone Special looks very well, from what I can tell.

Oh man... You have to post pics and Sound Clips!! I want an overtone So Bad so I'm going to Save all of my money and buy one Next year sometime. The only problem is that I'm not very good with Electronics yet. I'll let everyon know When (if) I get one.

Well, lets see....I've had an 18watt TMB, 18 watt TMBEF86, 5E3 head, and currently a quite heavily tweaked OTS (one of the very first made) and two more 18watt TMBs on the way. Great amps as offered but superb amps if you know how to tweak and squeeze em.

I have a Dizzy 30. Great amp. Crazy loud. Love it. I also have a 5E3 head.

What kind of "Tweeks"?
