Ceriatone Aunt Peg - B15 clone

[pbasspecial]

My guitarist who is a real gear head recommended this company to me. They are a Malaysian based amp company who specialise in doing top notch clones of all the best guitar amps out there for a fraction of the price. 

I am really taken by their B15 copy called an Aunt Peg (Ampeg). Looks really good. 
I wondered if anybody here has used one or even seem a video as I’m struggling to find any footage. Any help would be gratefully received.

Remember that song - There ain't nothin' like the real thing Baby, There ain't nothing like the real thing.

That might very well be how that song goes, however that doesn't automatically also make it true, and certainly not applied to every possible situation and all possible things. 

Also I believe these Ampeg B-15 clones quite possibly could actually be totally real, that is unless "pbassspecial" is just making stuff up.

But why would he do that?

I think “aunt peg” may have been a bad choice of name if they were hoping people would find them in google 

there seems to be an “adult film actress” also called aunt peg who’s been in some videos ....

Uhm... 

Is this a joke on that adult film actress with the same "artist" name as these clone amps or something?

Like if you just click that link in the OP there are loads of pictures of the amp in question.

It does of course require of you to actually click it.

I’ve never seen a link render in a box-out like that. I assumed it was a dead link or a link that would not render an image due to its type. Hence my comment albeit incorrect  for this reason I did not click it 

when I went looking for images myself I found the x rated content under those same search terms

I think it looks quite cool, there doesn’t seem to be any sound clips anywhere that I could find

I’d love to build one of those but I think I’d use a different box so as to put the valves above the chassis.

My friend might buy just the chassis and get Zilla to build. Will reduce shipping and import tax costs possibly.

I know. That’s why I was asking in here in case one of you lovely people had used or seen one in the flesh.

Great Pics... Lovely tag board 'n wiring job.

I like the way they’ve put it upside down - that’ll keep the copyright lawyers at bay!

might be worth checking out Trinity Amps " Trip Top ",

Similar to Heritage B15 circuit, and looks the part !

I’ve seen those before they are a great looking amp

I've saved the layout for possible future use 🖤

She seems to have had quite a fascinating life too. I've just been reading her Wikipedia entry. I hope Ceriatone don't get a cease & desist from her estate!

B15 clones do indeed exist but I was not referring to them just an original B15. There's magic in them old amps.

I actually once owned the 60W 1969 version of the B-15S.

Got it cheap, for what equals just about 300£ from a second hand music gear shop in the mid 90's (including the original flip top cabinet).

Was one hell of a great amp, and I regret much being stupid enough to let go of it again, after it having served me well for over 10 years, even if I these days actually really prefers the tone I get from solid state amps.

Still I wouldn't mind getting one again, or the newer still in production Ampeg PF-50T, or even just the PF-20T, for that matter, if I ever get that kind of money to spare again.

Just to have that kind of tone in my arsenal.

The 50t looks like a really great little amp, I’ve been looking for a used one for a while now but there’s not any around, they must be good or there would be lots available 🙂
