Yes FWIW people at work photoshopping my pic off google at least helped pass the time away.

What can i say im a popular guy.

Funny how the people shocked by me always seem to post my stuff.

:confused:
 
Lots of good modders out there..Fortin/Gower, Voodoo, FJA, some of the Lee Jackson mods can be good, Friedman, Golub, Suhr, BFG, Jerry Dyer, etc etc...but those Cameron mods, and I don't care which one you get..Jose, Ocean, Aldrich, one off, whatever...they just have something special that the others just can't quite get....and no offense to the others..they all sound great as well. Honestly if you can't get an Aldrich my suggestion would be to contact Dan Gower through Facebook and see if he can source you an amp in the UK and give you a Killer Kali mod..they are the closest to a Cameron without being a Cameron in my opinion..
 
Friedman BE100 with the SAT switch can sound very similar if not identical to the Cameron Atomica, IMHO.
 
I have two Cameron Aldrich mods and they sound like nothing else I have ever played. One Mark did in 93. Mark called me after I sent him gut shots and told me it was 1 of 3, maybe 4, he did but he didn't think he did four like this one. It has the infamous five way rotary preamp voicing. One was Marks original used by Norum and Aldrich, the other two were built for Norum and his Wife Michelle. Its possible the one I have was one of Norums unless Mark did a fourth like this one. He said it was in the first ten amps he had ever done. Amp is practically mint with original iron. I may sell it but I'm not giving it away. I'll keep it first.
 
I have never considered dating Jerry, but he does make some great sounding amps

Didn't you get one of mine that had the 5 way, too? He did an extra one for me a couple of years back, so that's out there somewhere, as well.

I'm pretty sure Dave has one, too.

Maybe that was someone else...who remembers? :lol: :LOL:

OK amps ... weird builder.

FRIEDMAN is the real deal ... $0.02

The ever lasting Friedman missionary.

Hahahahahaha :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:
I hope he gets a commission or is related :lol: :LOL:
 
It sounds like I'm the only one out there with a Langner mod. Funny how he is never mentioned among these other techs.

Dyer will prolly throw in a reach-around with the mods if you get him drunk first ... :D

I picked up an LG/HG modded 800 with the 5 way on the back from DanHops on here. Is the 5 way not that common on Cameron amps? Sorry I am not trying to derail the thread and the Surreal amps sound pretty good to my ears from the youtube clips which to me never really do many amps justice.
 
I didn't read through the thread but wanted to give my two cents.

Jerry is a standup guy. I've been in correspondence with him on many occasions. I've had two amps built by him. I don't have anything but good things to say. Beautiful builds, great sounding amps, really can't complain. He'll build them as you want them too-my most recent amp is a two channel and both channels were built to my specifications.

Of course there are many good choices out there-another build may work better for you. Don't discredit Jerry however-he is one of those many good choices.

Josh, Yeah I have yours. You sold it to me :lol: :LOL: No five way on mine or Daves. MArj=k did dual switches. Mark said only 3 maybe 4 five ways like his on the Aldrich. I have seen quite a few five ways for clipping on the Joses. Totally different thing to the Aldrich five way.

thanks guys for the input .. the first clip of your surreal sounds killer man .. what pickup/ speaker are you using ?

That clip was done at the LA AMP Show. The amp is being played through one of my demo cabs with J75 65w 16 ohm speakers in it. Jerry needed a cab for the show and asked for that one. Guess he knows what his amps need for speakers.
