The Ceriatone Overtone Special HRM Bluesmaster 50 is a 50-watt point-to-point hand-wired amplifier built on the His Royal Majesty version of the Dumble Overdrive Special circuit, with the Bluesmaster voicing option. The HRM tone stack adds the later midrange shaping that gives the overdrive channel a more vocal, forward character and a wider set of lead voicings than the plain Overtone Special. The clean channel keeps the full, dimensional quality of the D-style design, with a broad bottom end and sweeter highs than a blackface Fender, and less midrange scoop. At 50 watts it opens up at a more usable volume than the 100-watt version. It is strongly touch sensitive and suits blues, fusion and smooth rock lead playing.
