hmmm you know, that's not a bad idea :hmm: that is actually EXACTLY what I described in my first post. How's the master volume of the current Ceriatone 2204s? I had an older model that went from zero to fuckoff in a second (same as my 1986 2204 tbh).

Ceriatone 2204 is a bit touchy at bedroom volumes. but there is a 1/2 power switch that when it’s on, its pretty easy to dial volume in low

YeahI had one. It was ok but I wasn't too impressed with it. I think with a few upgrades it could be a great amp though.

I LOVE the Soldano designed JCAs I think they're a great way to get the Soldano tone on a budget. They're all well built and pretty close to the originals (Hot Rods, not SLO). The current line, I'm not too impressed with.
