Ceriatone Crème Brûlée
Ceriatone · amplifier
The Ceriatone Crème Brûlée is a point-to-point hand-wired boutique amplifier built by Ceriatone of Malaysia, a company best known for its faithful clone builds of Dumble, Marshall, Trainwreck and Matchless circuits. Unlike most of the range, the Crème Brûlée does not have a widely agreed original equivalent, and discussion among owners treats its lineage as an open question rather than a settled clone of a specific vintage design. It shares the construction standards of the rest of the range, being hand-wired point to point with boutique component selection. Independent review coverage of this model is sparse compared with Ceriatone's better-known Overtone Special and British Style amplifiers.
