Hey guys, I found an amp that is claimed to be Cameron Modded/built. it was basically gutted
How do I Identify/verify this? any tell-tale info?
Any Idea on a ballpark value for it? I would assume, that the fact that it's not a Marshall or Cameron branded amp will affect it's value.
This is how the seller describes it:
Mark pretty much gutted and handwired a new preamp section from what I understand from the original owner. Mark added an extra knob where one of the input jacks was the functions as an extra gain control. IMO, it kind of is like a thickness/saturation knob that seems to add gain/sustain - can really change the tone a lot. The regular gain knob got a push pull knob that is supposed to make the high strings sustain more, and also clear up the low end. Bass, mid, treble, and presence function as normal, just with Mark's circuit. The original reverb knob was changed (so there isn't a reverb anymore) to be a "depth" knob. Turning it up tightens the low end and definitely adds punch. A tube buffered effects looped was added, including a level knob. Perhaps the most amazing thing to me is a mini toggle switch that effectively cuts the volume of the amp so it can be at whisper levels, yet but at all but the barely audible levels seems to retain all of the amazing sustain and tone better than any high gain amp I've ever had. I'm not sure what it does technically, whether it cuts an output tube, etc. It just works really, really well. This is pretty much a high gain amp and is easily one of the best if not the very best I've ever owned.
