Ceriatone Muchle$$ Creme Brulee combo in a Sour Mash 1x12 Dizzy 30 cabinet with a WGS ET65 speaker.

I bought the amp from the original owner as a chassis and amp only in November 2024. I had Sour Mash build the cabinet. It is a killer amp that I have gigged at churches and block parties, as well as used in the studio. For recordings, check the YouTube video below or look up "Not Too Late" by Jacob and the Smoke Monsters. All the electric guitars were recorded through this amp.

It sounds great and I have never had any issues from it. See photos for condition specifics. Road case not included.

The following is taken from the original owner's listing:

"This is a scaled-down and slightly-tweaked take on the Matchless HC-30: it is 15watts (instead of 30) and single-channel only, the EF86 channel.

I am the original owner. I purchased the assembled amp chassis directly from Nik at Ceriatone in July, 2020.

Note this chassis is larger than the stock Creme Brulee chassis, as I had it made to fit into a 1x12 combo cabinet that I already owned.

This amp is tube-rectified (GZ34/5AR4), has two preamp tubes (EF86 and 12ax7) and two power tubes (EL84). It's a great amp for home use and gigs:

  • hi/low power switch
  • 3-way "bright" switch
  • hi/low inputs
  • usable master volume

Note: I did make one modification: originally, I found the master volume knob to be almost useless, as there was a very tiny range of useful home/bedroom volumes; above or below that it was either too quiet or too loud. I changed the master volume wiring such that it is way more useful. However, in doing this, I did remove the master volume "defeat" switch from the circuit. I went over my modification with Nik at Ceriatone before doing it, and he agreed with my modifications. I'm happy to share my correspondence with Nik with any serious buyers. [I can share that correspondence if desired]

The amp doesn't have a lot of play time on it. I basically used this amp as a stop-gap while I assembled another amp, and the one I built has since become my main amp. This one sounds great, but I can't justify keeping it and never playing it.

It has been kept in a strictly non-smoking environment."
