Ceriatone OTS FM50 Modern Eagle 2025 - Black Tolex with Zebrawood Insert

CERIATONE OTS FM50 MODERN EAGLE COMBO HAND WIRED IN FEBRUARY 2025 WITH CUSTOM ZEBRAWOOD INSERT. SOUNDS INCREDIBLE. ONE REVERB PEDAL IN THE EFFECTS LOOP AND YOU ARE IN 3-D LAND. THIS ONE ALSO HAS A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK TOGGLE SWITCH ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CHASSIS FOR A BIT MORE GRIT IF YOU WANT THAT. I COMPARED IT TO A DELUXE REVERB SIDE BY SIDE AND IT JUST SOUNDS DEEPER AND MORE ARTICULATE. I GIVE THIS ONE A 99 OUT OF 100.

When people talk about “holy grail” guitar tones, there are names that inevitably come to mind for most guitarists. Brilliant players like Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, Angus and Malcolm Young, Eddie Van Halen, James Hatfield, and John Mayer have changed music as we know it not only with their undeniable skills as writers and players, but also with sonic signature. One of such brilliant players is Robben Ford.

The Overtone Special FM 50 is a clone of the amplifier largely responsible for Mr. Ford’s amazing tone. Compared to other Overtone amps, this is undoubtedly the most alive. Playing through it is like playing another instrument, with it frequently going into harmonic overtones (even on the clean channel). The midrange in this amplifier is incredibly fat and juicy, even when compared to our other OTS models.

To introduce yourself to the OTS 50 FM Modern Eagle Mod, we first recommend you familiarize yourself with the OTS 50 FM by visiting its page.

The OTS 50 FM Modern Eagle Mod starts with the amazing 50 FM and adjusts a few aspects of the amplifier to make it easier to play across volume levels, as well as add a few features that we feel really improves an already great amplifier.

Comparatively, the Modern Eagle is LESS dependent on high volume to reach the sweet spots. The Preamp Boost has been adjusted to sound slightly fatter and less over-the-top and added flexibility with a new 3-way bright switch. All Ceriatone amplifiers feature the best component selection and specially designed, custom transformers for superior reliability, frequency response, and feel.
