Updated for another clip

Your clips are always awesome. Couple of questions - Are the Camerons 50 watters or 100 watters, and what year is that LP?

Hey Dave,

Killer clips man, the tone sounds massive!

Where were the gain controls set on the Jose? And were either of them pulled out?

 

[MrDan666]

On the Jose... the gain knobs were both set to 3 o'clock and pulled out and I was pushing about 95% gain level. Presence, bass ,mids were set to 6 and treble was set to 7. Bass boost was set to around 1 o'clock.

Aldrich... Gain knob one was pulled out and set to 8.5 and the other gain knob in the jack hold was set to 7 (or 2 o'clock ). I was at 85-90% gain level. Presence was at 4, Bass at 7, mids were at 6 and Treble was at 5.5. Bass boost was at 2 o'clock and the Q was set to 10 o'clock. The brown switch was engaged (voltage was lowered).

Both amps have Winged C el34's.
Jose RFT in V1, C9 V2 and Tungsol in V3
Aldrich- RFT V1 and Tungsol in V2 and V3. If I put a Chinese in V2 the amp get more treble...but the gain becomes super saturated...almost like I turned on a pedal.

I know it is annoying to the clock settings, but since there are no numbers for some controls, I am trying to give you and idea where things were at.

One funny thing. Both of the Cameron's seem to like the tone controls around 6. The Jose really changes structure when the Presence knob is changed. I moved it from 6 to 7 in the first video and you can hear the saturation change.

Also, you can hear how the Jose is more up front in the sound and the Aldrich seems to sit further back. All reamping and speakers were EXACTLY the same between the 2 clips. Volume levels were the same as well. I used the meter on Rocktron as a guide.

Thanks for the info Dave!!

Thats funny, as i found the same thing with the Aldrich and both Jose's i owned. The tone controls seem to work best when set just past 12 o clock. Also my HG Jose was much more upfront than the Aldrich. Even though the Aldrich had more gain, it was like a tighter gain.. nowhere near as saturated/liquidy feeling as the gain on the HG Jose i had.. Thats why i always preferred the HG Jose Cameron mod! Only 3 gainstages, but mine was just insane in the feel. It felt like a 4 gainstager or something!

I hear ya, they both have a playability to them that is insane. The Jose is easier to play at all gain levels. The Aldrich is a little harder to play at the lower gain levels...more like a stock Marshall...if you know what I mean. At the higher gain levels, the Aldrich is the winner. I have a hard time deciding which on I like better. Last night I brought up the Aldrich in the family room and played through an oversized 2x12 Marshall copy loaded with 2 early 70's greenbacks and the tone was to die for. Thick, smooth yet dripping with that Cameron tone frequency that I love. My wife actually liked the tone as well....and for her to say something is unheard of

Haha awesome! Well its gotta be a winner then

I found that my Jose got this absolutely insane tone and saturation happening, when i used the volume pretty high. I usually have the Master Volume on my modded Marshalls set around or close to 12 o clock, so i guess that does help to get the amp cooking a lot more than usual With my 50watter, i have the amp blazing with the MV at around 1 o clock when im using it at band practice

WOW! that Jose sounds incredibly and it makes me want one really, really bad

i don't really know much about Cameron modded Marshalls but i would love to get my hands on that exact amp you have. What Marshall is that?

12 o'clock on the master. Holy crap that must be loud . That must sound glorious . My Jose is ridiculously loud. I can play with a loud metal band and only be at 2 on the master.

GASING for a Jose as well...

Killer clips, more more

Jose sounds like 80s, 90s. Not my thing, but great tone.

Aldrich is more modern, sounds really cool, but I'd prefer more low mids there. Again, great sound!
