This thread is fucked up.

If not this ^, the thread certainly took an interesting turn.

Steve, your argument about the advantages only benefit the builder in terms of build speed (and profits essentially).

No, you see, that is where you are wrong. You, the buyer, benefit from a less expensive, more consistent sounding, more easily maintainable and more available amplifier. Also, let's get real specific here - I am talking about complex, modern channel switchers like the CCV, not single channel amps that are reasonably cost effective to build hand-wired turret design. It is much easier to make the lead dress consistent on a single channel (although as many old Marshalls prove - not fool proof), and unless you are really stamping them out like Marshall, quick enough to build. Channel switchers, with loops, midi, etc are much too complex to build this way if there is reasonable demand. They are going to cost more because they take more time. Personally, I still would not shy away from a single channel PCB amp made with quality components and boards...

I think your experiences with PCB amps have more to do with cheaper components and mass manufacturing than anything inherent in PCB design. I'll also say you have been lucky with your turret board Marshalls, as an absolutely common complaint is how different one old Marshall sounds from another. Components do not wear any differently on a PCB than on a turret board - that is common sense. There should be no reason a qualifed tech lifts a solder trace replacing a component or any other "weirdness".

Choose whatever works for you, but there is no reason to believe a well built, PCB designed amp using really good components like the CCV will not give you great tone and many years of trouble free service...

I see what you mean there Steve but I can't agree with you on the more easily maintainable part. A lot of amps with PC boards are a total bitch to work on. As someone else noted here that in their area, some techs won't even work on this stuff. I have that with 2 techs in my area. If you have a 5150, it ain't getting cracked open because they don't work on Peavey (and other blacklisted gear)(even though they were authorized service centers at one time). I don't have a need for a CCV because I have a Cameron amp that was built on a turret board that breathes fire.

By the way, when are you rolling out your amp? The clips sounded very cool.

You have a Turret board Cameron CCV or a modded Marshall?

Im hopin they will throw some biz my way. Surreal, the poor mans CCV......

 

[duodecim]

50? Id say there is a whole bunch of us here who are around that age? Got a problem with that?

Yes.

I don't want to be 50.


Luckily I've still got some time...

 

[gtrwun]

Hey...I dont wanna be 50 either believe me....only 3 more years for me. Damn that sounds old!

Why is it the only time I get to post on Rig-talk anymore, I have to start out by saying on a Fractal or cameron forum.

Please can we just chill out

Everyone is screaming for daily updates and pictures and play by play action. We go way out of my way just to take some pictures and send them to brad so he can update everyone. What no one has mentioned yet is that the amps arent done, they are simply in the process of being manufactured.

I think the majority of us, albeit silent, are very grateful for the updates. Maybe some of the silent ones should pipe up and show our appreciation.

As someone that has headed the development and manufacture of many new products, I can certainly empathize the trials and tribulations that go along with it.

Keep up the good work and thanks for the updates.

MY GOD!!!!! I haven't been in the Rig Talk part of the forum or this thread since Tuesday. WTF!!!!! This turned into a HUGE SHITSTORM fast!!!!!! Brad and the guys just can't catch a break man, ease up on them!! I think a group hug is in order fella's
