This is a spectacular build, crafted in Malaysia by Nik at Ceriatone. Using high-end components and transformers, the amp is hand-wired to 2204 specifications, with a few subtle tweaks to help rein in the inherent brightness often associated with Marshalls. The result is an excellent performance-to-cost value amp, simply put. Here’s what the Ceriatone website has to say about it:
"The Ceriatone British Style 2204 HW is our take on a timeless amplifier design first introduced in the 1970s. The 2204 HW 50w amplifier is based on the first “master volume” design in the British Series, and became the tonal inspiration for some of the most coveted rock tones recorded. Unlike the originals, our 2204 is hand-wired on turret boards. While we will avoid the PCB versus turret board argument, we think you’ll agree our 2204 is something special. Like other Ceriatone amps, we have labored carefully to select the finest components to suit the design, and the 2204 uses our specially designed, custom transformers for superior reliability, frequency response, and feel."
