Ceriatone · amplifier
The Ceriatone Overtone Special HRM 100 is the 100-watt version of Ceriatone's hand-wired Dumble Overdrive Special clone built with the His Royal Majesty midrange tone stack. The extra power gives a very large, three-dimensional clean channel that stays articulate and punchy at high stage volume, while the HRM overdrive channel produces a forward, vocal midrange and long, singing sustain with strong harmonic detail. Like the rest of the Overtone Special family it is point-to-point wired and strongly touch sensitive, responding to pick attack and guitar volume the way the original circuit does. Its scale suits players working at band and stage volume, particularly blues, fusion and soul lead work where clean headroom matters as much as the lead voice.
