I would snap that one up in a second !!!

It seems that the Cameron stuff gets traded in a network these days, whereas 10 years ago, you just had to be the lucky one to see it for sale, first.

THAT AMP SOUNDS GREAT.

Thanks for the video Jason. (y)
 
With his kind of diet no wonder Cameron rundown

I'mma just go ahead a copy/pasta my same comment from YT:

I have owned two Cameron modded Marshalls: an Ocean and an Atomica. They were cool but definitely not worth the price tag. The best thing about them is the under-the-finger feel. But frankly, there's better amps made by better (and more honest, reliable, and trustworthy) builders than Mark. I would buy a Headfirst, a Monomyth, a Carstens, a Fryette, etc any day before buying another Cameron. Also, if you're hell-bent on a Cameron, Dave Friedman knows how to do Mark's mods.
 
Timbre of the amp is good. But I can hear the low-end isn't tight enough for my preferences. Maybe it's just the small cab and/or depth settings, though. Didn't really give us a "play through" per se. Build quality leaves a lot to be desired lol. Thing is a mess.

If I had that amp it would be tough to fight my OCD and just rewire everything nice and neat and clean up all the solder joints.

Its a full rats nest. Loved Jason's " I'm speechless" comment.

This guy can build flame throwers that sound as good as anything out there. He would undoubtedly rewire it and make it better in the process with a tweak here and an adjustment there. I’ve played a couple of his amps and they are gnarly.
 
The Cameron 3 channel I had sounded way better than that. I would never dial in that much gain though.
I don’t think Jason was really concerned with spending a bunch of time showing different tones. Cool to see him go through the amp though.

I think I had the same one? Jose, Aldrich and Plexi clean? The Jose alone was worth the price of admission. Great amp.
 
Cameron, both the mods and amps(the original ones), and Hermansson are my two favorite high gainers out there.
Was fortunate enough to try out quite a few amps, and as far as high gain goes, these are the two brands I'll carry with me to the grave.

Do you like the Hermansson more than the Camerons?
 
Man I’ve wanted to build a Cameron for a while now but could never find a schematic, now I understand why. That things a nightmare inside.
Very cool to see the “Jose” caps though. Might have to give that a try.

The Aldrich has a ton of gain to begin with... I can't even imagine it with another gain stage and clipping diodes both.
