No Doubt!

'all ya all mixed up, Can you hire me?'

I second the 'grain' comment is due to the high gain and treble settings -- I would not think I would 'roll back the volume' either --

I bet it sounds bitchin set to what ever gain one would like -- Can't wait to hear it next to the CCV

Between Friedman and Cameron shite is kinda awesome for high gain amps 2012______

I guess I should have indicated for the people who didnt know that I talk with Rob all the time and joke about giving me a job so....its sort of a joke so is all ok now? ;)
 
Sounds awesome. Really aggressive and nasty. None of that overly smooth bull shit a lot of rodded Marshall's wind up sounding like.
 
i dunno, im really not digging this thing as much as the ccv. this sounds like its missing a huge portion of the cameron sound... thats just my opinion... id have to play it in person to really get a feel but i dont think i'll be shelling out 3 g's anytime soon.
 
Im not trying to stir the pot, but I dont think it sounds like the Cameron tone at all. Sounds more Bognerish to my ears. Maybe the recording??? I dont think it has the grind a Cameron has. Just my opinion. Im not saying its bad just not like a Cameron.

you both make good points. its a very different sounding amp then say the CCV. But, even in the clip and especially in the room, the Atomica sounds like a cameron. The Atomica is supposed to sound different or we would just put out single channels CCVs. But I dont think you can listen to the CCV and say that the CCV represents the only Cameron sound. The Atomica was designed way before the CCV. When and If we do the modern, thats also going to sound different.
 
Rob is right. After having played and listening to others play this amp for hours and micing it using different guitars it does have that signature Cameron tone.

I have been holding off and mulling over this for some time to say this, but I found a notable difference in the tone on the "official" clip and some other mic'd clips I have. When I heard the official clip I went back over the mic's clips I had knowing fully that you cannot replicate the way this amp hits you in the chest to see if that is what I remember the amp sounding like and if the clips I had revealed the same. Speaker micing and whatnot are always going to receive scrutiny for various reasons. The LP Mark Day (a good guitarist) and others used is a good sounding guitar. The Aldrich pickups are high output pickups that really comes across dark, squashing some of the harmonic structure inherent in the amp. Maybe that combination and mic placement might have made that clip sound that way? This amp needs no help in the gain department. I did not have that problem with the mic speaker clips from a different guitar used through the amp that had much less output more along the lines of a hot-rodded PAF replicated tone. Also as a means of comparison, the clip of that guy with a black beanie

that came in with that Lapdancer strat guitar sounded quite articulate, brought out the signature Cameron tones with that grind found in the Atomica, and sounded great. I will post these up with Brad and Rob's permission if it helps.

Being that Mark doesn't have anytrhing to do with the company, I'm thinking it's a pretty safe bet they haven't talked about it :lol: :LOL:

No clue, he left us back in Nov before the amp was built. He designed it on paper and went over the build with George but never got to hear the final product as he was not with us at that point. I would think he would dig it but no clue.
