Our amps must be set up different. I tried both Aldrich's with Scums in a straight Bogner and lost all my bottom end. Even with the bass boost to the stops and the rest of the EQ compensating, I couldn't get it where I needed to be. Skidded that cab and rolled my Ubercab back under the headand damn near went postal trying to get reconfigured....
May do another clip in a bit.

Steve - Here are my settings. Sounds like we may have two different versions of Mark's Aldrich mod.....

To me the ocean mod is more organic and cleans up better, very big and punchy. Was one of my favorite mods, took a boost really well and was just very dynamic.... The aldrich is more upfront and grindy, doesnt clean up as nice more agressive!

I can say from owning a few of the amps with these mods and even a few with the ocean/aldrich together, that I would say Mark stuck the ocean mod in with the aldrich mods for what would make total sense to get the 50 watt amp to sound huge, 100 watt type of head room and sound. Not 100 percent the same as the 100 watt amp but as close as you can get with out the amp being 100 watts. Those amps with the combination of those two mods were cool as hell at least for the amps that they were. Especially when you looked at what they started out life as stock.

I don't think any of Mark's mods sound the same! Both of my Aldrich amps sound different. And yeah, you have the push pull pots across the EQ and the clean/plexi stuff going on too. My Aldrich from the early 90's probably best resembles yours. It has the bass boost and a 3 way selector for the frequency select. The other one has a pot instead of a selector. All the EQ is straight forward with push/pulls on the gain and and hi/low gain setting. What makes this amp really cool is the input gain control, and the bass boost/frequency controls. The early mod is more open and the later mod, from 2004, is more modern sounding.

@ Superunknown :
Can you give me further details about the tonal effects of the different pull switches?
What does the COMP knob on the back do?

The Pull Knobs(Front
Pull on Bass (Boost) = this gives a low-end boost while allowing the amp to remain tight. This pulled along with the low-mid switch activated on the back will get you into Uberschall territory.
Pull on Mid (Mid Shift) = this gives the amp a mid boost that sounds a lot like John Norum's tone. Cuts really well.
Pull on Treble (Plexi/Stock) = To be honest, I am not sure what this does, but I like the tone of the amp with the knob pulled(Plexi mode). To me, this pull knob is the secret to this amp. The Plexi mode just kills.....
Compression/Voicing/Gain(Back
Compression knob just adds compresssion to the gain channel. Using this knob with the two gain knobs along with the gain voicing three-way will allow you to get just about every variation in gain that you could ever want....
The three-way voicing will aloow you to emphasize the lows, low-mid, mid-high....just another tone shaper.
The three-way gain structure goes from a great stock JMP (up)to almost too much gain(down). I use the middle position which i feel gives me all the gain that I need.

Thanks!
''compression'' adds gain and so compression?
the 3 way gain structure switch isn't labelled? I can see two switches that are not labelled
really no way to describe pull plexi? more or less mids, or more or less high, tighter.....

Man, that is hot news, and a smart play. I know it's just a nugget in your head, but is there any possibility of working with a more budget manufacturer on these supposed "mod" amps? Something similar to the ceriatone HRP series perhaps? Not sure if it's even practical profit-wise under the new management, but a single channel plexi mod with a Jose, Aldrich, or Ocean for around $1400-$1800 (option dependent) would be sex, give a more approachable price structure to the cameron line (with the ccv/ccm obviously being flagships), and tempt the lesser mortals who have what you might call lame jobs.
Can you tell I want a HG Jose regardless?

Sounds good. But max out that mid knob and I'd probably like it more.

Hells yes. You thinking of making an actual Cameron site where we can get details on all the amp models? I've heard clips of Ocean, Jose and Aldrich mods. But honestly, a lot of people have no clue what the differences are. A company website with model details, specs, prices, ordering info, history, etc. would probably be beneficial at some point if this venture is going to continue to grow.

You're killing me over here Brad. I was grinning ear to ear when I read the above first post. I was just about to post a reply begging you to make it in a Plexi style headshell when I read the next post.....

You could be on to something BIG here (which, I suppose, is precisely the reason you decided to get involved in this endeavour in the first place!).
First you take my money for a CCV, now this?
I better start rolling my nickels!
