I swear, when I hear a vicious Cameron clip I get a heroin like high, I am totally overcome with euphoria, and thrive in my own auditory world! When the clip ends the fiending begins, later on in the day as I think about th clip, my withdrawals become more severe and I start plotting sinister deeds to get a CCV.

here is my latest idea: by one of those high tech remote control helicoptors, learn how to fly it expertly, like a pro, attac`h a mini walki talki or some type of transmitter to it, a mini camera with live feed I can use to navigate the helicoptor, get a piece of blue clay that I will pass off as the explosive semtex, get a ipod or mini player of some sort with recordings of police radio. At this point I sit across the street from a bank and experlty fly the mini helicoptor behinda bank customer and fly into the banl up to a teller, I immediate play the police transmissions and say I am monitoring the police channel live, then I say th blue clay she/he sees is semtex and that it can blow the entire bank up to smitherines, oh, I forgot to mention the basket attached to the landing gear, i tell the tellet to fill the basket to the brim with hundred, unmarked of course, then I say I will blow the entire bank unless someone oipens the door for the mini helicoptor, and that if someone tries to snag it from the air, it will blow, then I fly the heli around the corner to me in a waiting car, but nobody sees where the heli went! At this point I go to Rigtalk or gearpage and offer $25,000 for the first CCV to be offered up and then pay the lucky guy $25,000 cas for his CCV then do the same with the Modern!!

-I also have a Herbert I will trade fo a CCV that is my other idea right now, more to follow! I will put down one innovative a trouble proof way to get a CCV each week for those of you in my situation, someone who does not think life is worth living without a CCV, I constantly fiend, then withdrawal, fiend, then withdrawal, I cannot do it much longer!
 
25 grand huh ? I'll sell you mine for 25 grand. Consider it sold. :lol: :LOL:
 
I would take the MK50 II over the CCV, but the CCV is a close second and they are so much harder to get ahold of. I used to have a ton of amps nd my MK50,Elmwood M60 and M90 were my favorite far and away. Still, I want the CCV!

Trade a Herbert for a CCV? There was a CCV auction on ebay in the last few weeks where a used CCV got up to $5,100 and did not meet the minimum, so someone would be taking a huge loss trading a CCV for a Herbert. Heck, I wouldnt trade either of of my Cameron marshalls for a Herbert (I would just flat out, buy one) ;)


FOR SOME REASON THA SEEMS WRONG TO ME, A CCV AT $5000 NOT MEETING THE MINIMUM YET? BUT THAT COULD JUST BE ME, MAYB EVERYONE ELSE THINKS IT IS A GREAT IDES? PUSH THE CCV PRICE HIGHER AND HIGHER SO BEFORE WE KNOW IT YU HAVE TO BE A DAMN MILLIONAIRE TO GET ONE!
DOES THIS SEEM WRONG TO ANYONE ELSE, OR AM I JUST OFF KEEL, I MEAN I AM ALL FOR CAPITALISM, BUT CAMERON CAPITALISM SEEMS UNCOOL, GREEDY, PAS THE AMP ON TO SOMEONE WHO IS DYING TO GET A HOLD OF IT AND LITERALLY MAKE THEIR YEAR! NOT FOR FREE, WHAT YOU PAID FOR IT.

Could Mark be trying reinvent himself into the "Alexander Dumble of high-gain amplification". Could Mark and Chris placed the ebay listing themselves? Could they have placed a reserve price of something like $10,000.00, and then had "shills" start bidding on it? It certainly has the stink of it! A shameless display of self promotion. I like it!!! :yes: Unfortunately, I think Martin Kidd has cornered that market. I will say that the CCV does have more gain on tap; but nothing "sings" like a Cornford! :thumbsup: Dumble amps excluded of course...


Thats funniest thing i've ever read in my entire life, excuse me while i go and vomit. :emofag: :grim: :jerkit: That paragraph is a mouthful of greek salad! Do a little detective work, your a smart guy I'm sure you could figure out what really went down.
 
gaindeli - do you or have you owned a ccv?
 
My engineer and I just had this same conversation last week. All I can say is that our experience with the CCV in the studio has yielded tones that are anything but dated or old-hat to my ear. The recorded tone of the CCV sounds very modern in high gain mode when compared to my Cameron Modded Marshalls. The Cameron Marshalls do have a great old school, EVH, Aldrich vibe....but the CCV is very unique and sounds like nothing else that we have ever recorded.

The Friedman modded Marshall's are no doubt incredible, but even Dave will tell you that his Brown Eye mod is based on the 70's tone and Hairy Brown Eye is based on 80's tones....
 
If you were playing the CCV through V30's i'll bet that was a big reason that you had a bad impression....not a fan of the V30. :no:

I would LOVE to own a MKII one day.:rock:
 
The thing for me with the CCV is it has a incredible Marshall tone
at the same time having it's own voice. I did not care for the amp
with V30's as much as CL80's/H30's mixed in a 4X12.
I don't play ANY 80's stuff, definately not my thing.
I'm more 90's AIC/Soundgarden/ Tad.
I know what you mean by an amp sounding too 80's
that was how I felt about the Voodoo Vrock.
The CCV can cop a lot of different Marshall tones
very well with a Killa master.
Kick ass amp!!!

I hear people rag the Seattle-band era (never did like the "Grunge" label...), but I thought it was a total "shot in the arm" for rock! I still get goose-bumps when I hear Jerry Cantrell's inverted E chord on "It ain't like that"... :rock:


HellYeah!! I love the rhythm after the E chord, I guess the bridge.
I also dig Junkhead.
 
Outside the Seattle seen, you ever hear Quicksand?Those dudes
had some killer riffs!
How about Gruntruck? Prong?
Ther were some other heavy hitters in the 90's
besides the Grungers.

Played a CCV, and owned 1 Cameron modded Marshall. As a matter of fact - the guy who owned the CCV was trying to trade it in on a 67 Marshall. The CM Marshall sounded better IMO. The Cameron sound is quite simply "old-hat"! I was in Minnesota last week, and got to play through a Dave Friedman modded Marshall... That was sweet! Still... The VH thing has been done to death! If you're in a cover band doing golden oldies from the 80's - then I'd say that the CCV is a great choice. I've never said that the CCV sounds bad... On the contrary - it sounds great! Not as good as YOU think it sounds - but good nonetheless. The CCV has a dated sound - no doubt about it. It's focused, and harsh IMO - but that's what some players want... So be it. If you want a true tone... Go with Cornford! I fiend for Cornfords, & plot sinister deeds to get one! :thumbsup:


That's cool you had a chance to check one out but Honestly v30's and the ccv don't mesh IMO. I've been an audio engineer my entire life and Have tracked several bands already with my ccv. In fact one project I assisted (secrets she kept) on was just completed and mixed / mastered by James Murphy of Testament / Death etc etc. Also just had Ralph Santolla and Jack Owen Obituary / Cannibal Corpse / Deicide in that used the ccv for some of the lead tracks on there new record. As far as the Cameron Marshall vs CCV debate to me it's not even CLOSE! I guess it depends on what volume your playing them at to really understand the difference. The ccv remains tight and stable all the way from top to bottom of its volume spectrum.

The Marshall's run out of gas and start to break up and thin out as you wind them up to stage volumes on gigs. I've experienced both not only as a guitar player but as a live sound engineer and the mids on the ccv are unique and cut right through the mix. Don't get me wrong, the mods sound absolutely incredible but they just fall short in some area's. I have to chuckle when I see guys chime in with this though because it just reveals to me that they really haven't sat down and had the time to compare correctly and at correct volume levels.

As far as the versatility of the ccv goes, honestly again I have to laugh because you obviously have not sat down and really went through the amp. The ccv does incredible cleans, blues, rock, up to hi gain metal. And it does these different tones in a variety of different ways, the small dip switches allow for very powerful tone shaping from Room to Room and guitar to guitar. I'm sure Todd (Superunknown) could chime in and tell you the same as he tours and plays different rooms and etc. I've honestly never heard a strat sound so good until i plugged it into my ccv.

There are many great amps out there, everyone is entitled to like what they think is best, that's what makes this fun!

What speakers are you running in your Cameron Cab? Mine has the G12H's and I am considering changing them to Scumback M75-65 watters....
