The store he worked for had him finish, at least 12 Marshall amplifiers and they were all sold off by the store as Jose modded amplifiers.

I was there the day the truck came with all the jose heads and parts and helped them unload. I was there when we noticed receipts taped to the bottom of most of the heads that had the names of every rock star in LA written on them.

I don't care one bit about the historical significance (of which there is very little outside of Rig-Talk). Hell, if my favorite guitarist of my favorite band offered to sign my guitar I would tell him no. I just don't give a crap about this kind of thing. I care about the actual item itself. Do I think a Superlead is worth $20K? No. I don't care if it was signed by all of AC/DC, VH, Elvis, and Babe Ruth... and jointly built by Mike Soldano, Mark Cameron, Jose, and Colonel Sanders.

That said, if I had one and could sell it at a huge profit, would I? You bet.

i dont care about autographs or any of that either, but an autograph or an amp built by another company or person isnt exactly the same historically as a real jose marshall? wasnt a whole industry basically started and still going strong now almost 50 years later off what he started, the same basic way Shelby did with performance parts?? i dont know anyone that would say an original Cobra built by Shelby himself isnt worth $500k, or call the seller greedy because a better clone can be built for 10% of that, i think most everyone understands a car built by a pioneer in an industry which there are very few of isnt just another cobra or mustang, just like to me this isnt just another superlead, and is gonna draw big bucks. i dont see how this amp is much different than that cobra :dunno:

i dont think Jose is exactly a household name, but i think hes a little bigger than just a rigtalk name like mark cameron, ive been seeing his name in magazines since i been reading them, hes always associated with eddie and bob rock, every big youtuber has gone over who he is now. i just hope it goes to a big name producer or studio somewhere where it will be used

I don’t even know a big name that really endorsed Cameron, whereas the original Jose stuff you saw ALL over the place.

Yeah, I remember seeing Jose’s name all the time in the interviews and gear rundowns, i think i remember reading how Lynch or one of them basically stole one and went on tour or some shit, I remember reading about hetfields getting stolen. Maybe I’m overhyping the dude, but this amp to me is a grail piece
 
I guess good news if you own an original Jose modded Marshall. I suppose it is worth more if celebrity owned. lol

That was where I bought a lot of Marshall's and other killer gear back in the days man when they were in SF...My Park 1206, the owner has his own secret squirrel stash. Sold me my Langner preamp. Miss that place...

No. Arrendondo amps have always been on the down low, like way down low and he was a low key guy.
Only reason the facination now is forums & computers.
Not exactly auto parts.

You got about 4 amp fairy tales all jumbled up together.
As far as real amps from Mr. Arrendondo do be careful what you wish for they've been floating around for 45 years and LOTS of folks been molesting them.
Buy a nice Les Paul instead.

like i said, ive been seeing Jose's name since ive been reading guitar magazines being used by guys like eddie and metallica among many others, and if you've been on a guitar forum in the last 25 years im sure you've seen the term "jose mod", so im not sure how "way down low" he is.. either way though, what happens when the internet learns about rare and desired things maybe not known about by the general public be it music gear, cars, or whatever the subject may be?? yeah.. prices go way way up, and even more so if you find a "unmolested" or "numbers matching" if we are talking cars. if you think that amp is worth no more than $3k or whatever a superlead goes for, i guess cool?
 
1966-chevrolet-chevelle-ss-396


@ 15 yrs old i bought my first car a 66 SS-396 Chevelle for $500 bucks in 1979. Would love another but if anyone thinks im gonna pay $50,000 to $130,000 they can get bent. Ive seen everything i grew up with at resonable costs astronomically skyrocket in price in a perverse way.
Why would mApZ be any different ?

The store that Mark Cameron worked at that bought all the Jose amps was called A&V Music and was located in Huntington Beach. Now there may have been 2 batches of amps in Jose's shop and maybe one batch of them went to Black Market Music.
 
Did Reza put up a video of the amp? That would be interesting.
