More Cameron CCV pics from today 8/23/11

[killertone]

I will check with Mark on the wires to see if the crew didnt quite twist them the correct way, Remember Mark is going to look all of these over and approve them before going into headshells.

Also this is Marks design, the final and ultimate CCV design that he came up with, Mark sat with Ron from RJM Electronics and meticulously designed the new board and hand picked the parts list for days and got the exact board and parts he wanted.

We are trying to show you guys everything and keep you in the loop, sometimes to our own detriment but we are all family here. One thing is for sure, these will be the best Camerons to date. Bank on that.

I have no doubt these will be done right. I think if any amp will get me interested in a Cameron design it will be the ones being built now.

Yes, the amp does feature elevated dc heaters and most likely for the hell of it the heater wiring will be redone with a tighter twist.

FWIW Steve,
I wasn't referring to you but the other speculators.
We know you have a tremendous amount of amp knowledge and your abilities speak for themself as your Hennig amp ROCKS.
Keep up the good work.

Maybe send out the crooked logos as an "extra" once they are replaced and leave it up to the owner whether to put it on. That way the proud owner has the option of saying: " Mine is a CROOKED CAMERON".

Haha!

Cool! Rock on, man...

I think it's to everyone's benefit that pics go up and people point out corrections to possibly be made. It's easier to correct something now then later on. I bet these will be killer when finished!

 

[SLOgriff]

Thanks Brad and Rob for taking the time to share pics and report on the progress! ....and for being patient and taking the abuse while also listening and addressing people's issues!

 

[sinfish]

Brad please do not stop posting pics. The bottom line is we know that the end result of the CCV is a killer sounding amp. We also know you are a stand up guy. We know a piece of shit will not be sold on your watch. I like seeing updates and small glimpses of the birth of a new guitar amp. Don't let the comments of a few get to ya. Everyone is 10ft tall on the internet.

I realize there have been some contentious quotes in this thread but this is fascinating stuff, about DC vs AC heaters and how the wiring should be wrapped, the caps mounted, etc. I have a 12000-series 100W clone that is a bit noisy, and I don't think is as loud as it should be. I am inclined to crack it open and take a look at the wiring, being careful around the big capacitors, of course.

If I were to upload some gut-shots of this amp, I would certainly welcome commentary on the internal build quality. I do not know who built it, and I am not sure if it is even really designed after the famous 12xxx Marshall 100W.

Brad, I have to echo the calls for more progress pictures. I think the CCV will be a "landmark" amp in the history of Rock amps as it relates to design, engineering, and build quality. I want one badly. Now if I only hadn't bought 5 heads already this year, I would be on one immediately. Next year after the annual bonus, for sure.

Pics please!

Thanks guys

Now that you've trashed the pics, those of us who have actually bought the amps won't get any more much anticipated updates.
I'm no engineer but I doubt ANY of those chiming in have the technical knowledge of Mark Cameron.

Well Im also a male human so I have a pretty good handle on his technical details.

Yes, the amp does feature elevated dc heaters and most likely for the hell of it the heater wiring will be redone with a tighter twist.

Try using a drill to twist your wiring. Its extremely quick and comes out very consistent and tight. Then you just unwrap a bit and solder 'em in. I do all my twisted pairs this way in amplifier builds.

 

[pstar]

joepete my sentiments also. Do it better than good enough. Just good business sense. I think everyone wants this to be perfect and a great success. Keep up the good work.

Someone who doesn't seem to know the quickest and easiest way to twist long lengths of heater wires for a production line amplifier building operation. Based purely on the pictures Im seeing and that a number of others are complaining about of course.

Oh my.... Let me clue you in on some things:

!.) He didn't wire those heaters
2.) They are DC and do not require ANY twisting
3.) The guy you are talking to is who Eddie Van Halen chose to get his old number one Marshall back into shape for the new VH record
4.) Dave Friedman doesn't need your help.

Thank you...

LOL. The other guys at amp camp are going to rip into you pretty hard when they find out how quickly you get your panties in a bunch.

I know exactly who the guy is. It also looked to me like this simple tip might help streamline these builds.

Hey, I was just trying to help you to not look stupid, but you choose to continue to be an ass.... I'd suggest you worry about the bunching of your own panties, junior...
