[Gainzilla]

Just spent a couple hours in the "testosteroom" with the CCV through the Scumback loaded Mills cab and proved to myself once again why the Cameron CCV is the baddest ass amp on the planet. The band is going to be doing a Zep cover thing soon and it just nails vintage Jimmy Page. Can't wait.

It is really nuts how much the CCV can do. I can get a heavy new metal sound or a vintage smooth Marshall sound with ease. Best amp I have ever owned.

You guys are giving me some much gas for a CCV, thanks. Living here up north the chances for try one are small. Dave, those it sound much bigger than the Cali?

Right on brother....I am running Gain 1 about 9:00 and Gain 2 about 3:00 with a lot of presence and treble with the mids down around 9:00. Playing a Les Paul with MC 2BB's in it and it just rips and grunts. The 4 x M75 Scums in the Mills 412 and the EV Black Labels in the 212 and both completely dry is enough to give me all kinds of movement. Think I will try me a line out through the Eventide Eclipse and a Mesa 50/50 power amp to a wet cab. Or. if I can find my Bradshaw lined mixer and 4x4 switcher, I may just go with a couple of pedals (flanger/delay) to the wet cab. Should be absolutely killer then.

I think Mark has the matching snakeskin cab that goes with this head to send me. If I wear my snakeskin boots, I'll be shining like a diamond in a goat's ass then and, look like Ted Nugent...

Hey Steve how does the CCV compare to your IIC+?

The only reason I ask is I am considering selling mine after I get my Cameron but I wanted to ask you to get your opinion. I think I remember you saying you got a IIC+ but I may be mistaken...

Still got the IIC+, but it pretty much stays in a head case. They are just different beasts all together and I would use them for totally different playing styles and tones. Its not the amount of gain, because they both have loads of it, just the voicing.

Yup, that cab is at his place - I saw it when I was over there picking up my cab yesterday...

It was cool hangin' with Mark - he is a great guy. He helped me troubleshoot my amp's switching scheme while I was there and now my amp is up and runnin', switching between the 3 modes and the tones are sounding great - I have to clean up some stuff, add some more shielded wiring and fix a switching issue with my Jose Master, but it is nice to have it up and running and sounding cool... Mark certainly didn't have to help me with my amp, but he took the time to do so and I learned a ton about troubleshooting...

Thats the thing that I love about shooting the shit with mark. Hes a wealth of knowledge and hes almost eager to share it if your interested. I could pick that guys brain for hours.

that would be the one....would be so much better under this head....and it matches my boots

 

[RoidRage]

Holy shit. You have the presence turned way up. I wonder how hard it would be to add the switches to your amp?

Ohh HELL NO!

I Keep Mine Right On The "P" Much Betterer!

But as you suggest... I want to see where Stevo winds up with a standard CCV...

I do the same on most amps....probably cause the MIDS are way down......

[rafterman1969]

i just though to myself... "A Mark Cameron modded Cornford MKII." Is it even possible?

I think I just humped some air!

 

[steve_k]

Just remembered the little "Line Out" box that Jerry made for me. Peeling some line level signal out of the CCV speaker jack, through the Eclipse and through a Mesa power amp to a wet cab.

Holy SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT........

If I can figure the little Zoom H3 out later, I may stick some clips up with some wild ass stereo W/D stuff.

Cleaning shit out of pants first.

I'm using my CCV with the Suhr line out box into my Axe-FX for delay and stereo micropitchshift in a W/D/W setup. Sounds completely insane. Since I have my Cameron 4x12 now, I'm gonna convert my Stereo Mojave cab to mono (I've been using it for stereo wet now) and I'll make the Cameron cab my dry sound and the two Mojave 4x12s my wet sound fed by the Axe-FX and VHT 2/50/2. I'll get separation in the effects I'm not getting now with just the stereo cab since my two Mojave 4x12s will now be separated by the dry Cameron cab. This will be Epic! Couple pics before I got the Cameron cab. I'll post more this weekend when I get around to converting my stereo cab and re-arranging things:

Yeah, about the same thing. Forgot about the Axe. I've got a standard I could use, but I think the FX in the Eclipse may be a little better. May try it out though. The box I got from Jerry is essentially the same as the Suhr, except I use one of the spare speaker jacks on the Cameron as opposed to a thru jack like on the Suhr. Good stuff bro!
