Anyway, this amp fest was one for the record books and has cured me of ever wanting to do it again. Live and learn. I hope that I didn't fail and show any amps in a bad light, I did my best.

Don't worry about it James. There will always be someone who is butt hurt because their amp wasn't the BEST of the whole ampfest. Every amp had the same time and effort put into it before it was recorded, if they thought the amp sounded bad, then tough shit. What's funny is many amps that some people say sounded bad ended up being other peoples favorites....it's all personal taste! So even to say an amp sounded BAD is just personal taste....not a fact whatsoever. It's so ridiculous to even say it was the way it was recorded, as opposed to just realizing it didn't sound as good as you hoped compared to all the other amazing amps under the same conditions. You rock and I'm glad I was able to be a part of it!
I respectfull disagree. There were a lot of amps I heard in person that sounded bad during this recording...and some amps I have played in person that sounded like crap yet sounded good on this recording. That leads me to say it is the recording, not the amp. This in now way is a negative to James... it is what it is. I appreciate what James did for all of us.
What you wrote makes no sense Dave. That you've heard amps sound good in person but bad in recordings and vice versa and that's why it's the recording that made whatever amp you think is great not sound so great. If you ever studied science the glaring variable is you weren't there and you don't know the condition of said amp and how it really sounded.
I have a beautiful 5 series BMW, drives like a dream but if you had driven in it last week before I had the fuel injection fixed you would have thought it was a piece of s**t, maybe blamed my driving. Who knows.
I don't know how a CCV sounds that you've heard but you know how the CCV sounded that I heard, listen to the clip. V30, straight cab, PR20/M160, Neve/Pacifica. I played the Aldrich today, it sounds like the clip, which isn't a bad thing the clip is cool. BUT Mark told me 2 of the tubes were bad. There were many issues with the Cameron amps at the shootout none of which had anything to do with me, bad tubes and microphonic tubes, Mark told me himself, so maybe that's why a certain clip doesn't resonate with you but to blindly find fault in the recording is what's wrong with the internet. Someone will read your post and think I'm a hack.
And as Steve_K said, where my Aldrich Marshall???
James
p.s. All this amp he said she said stuff aside, I have mad respect for you and what you're about. Hell I modeled my racks after you, imitation is the highest form of flattery. I like your playing, your spirit and your willingness to help a brother out and I know you just don't want people to think Mark's amps aren't as good as they really are, I totally get that and am with you. So for me I have to sign off on this subject, I have a pregnant wife, 3 sets of clients in from out of town and 14 days to track 20 songs with vocals and make 10k....oh and it's Christmas...
Peace out!
