So, uh, yea , I hear that Elmwood is pretty hot. How about making us a clip since it's now officially 'used'. Seriously.

This is an amp that I had wanted to purchase for atleast a year now. While in LA for NAMM in January, Mark (Cameron) & I spent about 2 hours with this amp at Andy Brauer's studio in N. Hollywood one night and we could not get any "great" sounds out of it.
Andy did say that the particular unit M60 Modena he had for us to demo had been also demo'd by dozens of people before us and as such may need new tubes. That being said, we were getting some crazy high-end squeal out of the drive 2 channel and this was at very low volume. I guess we really need to give one a try fresh out of the box but for 3K plus I was a bit turned off. I have a pretty good collection of boutique amps and a ton of high-end gear so I am no stranger to good tone. The price did not scare me...it was the sound...or lack there of. At the risk of sounding bias, the new line of Cameron amps from the testing we have done so far make mincedmeat out of the Elmwood.
As some of you may know, I do not share opinions or make many posts here or on any board, but I just had to share my experiences on this amp. I am not writing this so that noone buys one nor do I want to condem the new product line for Rebel Amps MUCH TO THE CONTRARY!! In fact I would hope to have Rebel carry our line. This is simply my opinion and should be taken as such.

Also....just to "chime in" on the previous posts:
ALL of our amps are tested and burned in to ensure that everything is working properly and sounding great! (about 2 hours)
If you notice, that new car you buy always has a minimum of 12-15 miles on it.

Wow thats a cheap shot at an amp some on here own and like. Call it over hyped if you wish. I like it so it wasnt over hyped tp me. Maybe if I played a Modena and it didnt live up and it didnt do it for me Id think the $3000 was overpriced and over hyped. Which quite frankly I do the Modena is. Anything that has those cork sniffers over at TGP all wet in pants over and is a high gainer...... that right there makes me cringe.

Listen, I understand when people get defensive over an amp they own/like. We're only human. But as long as you like it, why do you care what other people say/think so much? If somebody said the Cameron mods were over hyped, I would laugh to myself and say, good, more for me.
That's because Carl brings out the worst in me.ejecta":cafb3 said:

It sort of reminds me when you ripped on me about my Cameron, saying it sounded this and that, could get the same sound with a stock Marshall and an OD pedal, bla, bla, bla....... Then, the same day you PM Mark asking him if he could mod an amp for you, LMFAO!! And what did he do? Oh, he told you to get screwed. He read them to me over the phone. We laughed our asses off.
Classic Carl. Ripping on an amp that he said he was acually thinking about buying at the beginning of the thread until Josh played it.carlygtr56":1f94d said:

No, we weren't beating off to your PM's, we were laughing at you. A lot acually. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Even if that is true or not, why would you "inquire" as you put it, about an amp when you were just ripping on the amp builder? I know why, because you like to start shit!carlygtr56":f7ce0 said:
