You can adjust two different switches to get so many different tones...add that to all of the preamp options and you have a lot of choices. My CCV has a pentode/triode switch as well and this option allows more tone shaping of the power amp (I use it to tame some of the crushing bottom end at times). The CCV also has a high power low power switch that changes the feel of the entire amp. High gives you tight tone and fast tracking, low give a bigger feel with a little bit of sag. Now if you get bored with all of these options, you can look to tinker with the effects loop. Add an EQ, to enhance the mids and it becomes extremely fluid to play. Increase the bottom end and you can literally make you vision go blurry

Well, I have to say first that there is nothing "vintage" about the tones emanating from that amp. It also sounds extremely focused to me - but that may be the recording? I'm gauging these tones against my Cornford's per Mark Cameron's comments on the Cornford MK50 amp. Is that that the best clean/crunch tones one can get out of a CCV? Dawnofdreams is a great player, so I think my question is a valid one.
The Cornford MK tone is steeped in the vein of modded Marhall Plexi w/exaggerated low-mids... It is truly a "vintage-voiced" amp. The Cornford MKII 50 H has a clean tone that is unrivaled by all other Class AB high-gain amps IMO. I'm not trying to "bash" the CCV here. I did want to get one - but after hearing these clips, I know that it's not the amp for me. I'm from the school of Heart, Frampton, UFO, Nugent, Aerosmith, Quicksilver MS, Faces, early Stones, Led Zeppelin, early Supertramp, AC/DC, Hendrix, Doors (LA Woman), Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore, Deep Purple, Flying Burrito Brothers, Rush (up to MP), PG era Fleetwood Mac, early ZZ Top, Soundgarden (up to Louder Than Love)... I can't think of a single instance where I would choose a CCV as my amp of choice in terms of my influences.
I expected a much more "open/rounded" tonal character form the CCV. It sounds like the perfect amp for getting those extreme "metal" tones that were popular in the 80's. "Slayer" and "King Diamond" type stuff I guess? It's a great sounding amp for sure; I'm just not getting the "greatest amp ever" comments that I see all over the Cameron room? I think this is hype run totally amuck! I'm calling "no-joy" here.

I'm going to guess that if you're into Heart, Fleetwood Mac & The Doors then the CCV is not for you. I think it's mainly a hard rock/metal amp and playing "All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You" on it would be a travesty.
I meant Roger Fisher era Heart...psychodave":lile0vfm said:I understand what you are talking about.
