Well shit......what are we going to talk about?

Tony - how about the new KS - is it working out well for you?
 
OK, serious question for Steve. Back when you got your CCV you loved it...what made you part with it (if you talked about this before I either missed it or forgot :D ) ?

I was mad at it for being 9 months late and I wasn't aware that the time required to make an amp was the same as the gestation period for a human being :lol: :LOL:

It wasn't fitting what I was doing at the time and I was into my Bogner amps and my Herbie and messing with the Friedman's a bit. I never could find the sweet spot with it, but that was more me and not the amp, more than likely :confused: . It sounded great and no issues with it, but I was liking other stuff a little better.

at least a half dozen more men must have felt the same way because it has been in the hands of many men since, it should be up for sale soon again, it's that time of the month

shit, forgot the rent was due and truck insurance..... :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:

she has been quite the whore. should be time for a nip and tuck before long.
 
I have a sneaky suspicion these later CCV's were built with whatever parts Mark had around(Maybe this is where all the Marshalls in for mods went as they are MIA). I was told on several occassions the CCV's sounded quite a bit different from one another. Maybe these later CCV's were not as good as the earlier amps. Now that high quality components, etc. will be used, maybe they are going to be much better. Who knows but I am sure we'll find out.

I've played over 10 ccv's and they all were pretty damn close if i can recall... just saying.... maybe some were not the same... bottom line is that the Cameron stuff is still the king of the heap when it comes to shit hot and cutting guitar tones, NOTHING comes close to my ears. Doesn't matter what the amps were made of or what they looked like... not trying to attack here, just saying... :rock:
 
I've owned a total of 7 CCV's (maybe 8 but who cares...lol!)....Each one a bit different than the other in some way but all good sounding heads.

Whore!! :lol: :LOL: :D :rock:
 
So the question I ask Steve is the following: If you like the clips, reviews or whatever of the new built ones, Will you give the CCV a second chance now ? Besides that you have seen what the Aldrich Camerons are capable of, or will you stick to them since that is the tone you were after in the first place?

Nico.

Definitely sticking with both the Cameron Aldrich amps as they are same, but different :confused: . I have gotten my greedy hands on a Cameron HG/LG Jose mod that will be shipping Friday. There is no doubt in my mind that there is some Aldrich tone packed in the CCV. That said, it was probably me not dialing it up right and I would consider trying another CCV. I tried to buy my old one back but it slid. As I said before, there was nothing wrong with the amp or anything about it the wasn't pleasing, just had other stuff I was more into playing at the time.

:rock: I have no facts about it except what a couple of other members told me. One member disliked his first one because it was too dark tonally. He said his second one was really good. Dave, yours sounds excellent as well as the clips I have heard from Nicks. I have seen gut shots of the CCV. I could be wrong but I saw some high uf caps in there. Is it possible the CCV has quite a bit more filtering than a stock Marshall which MArk mods? Maybe the guys that prefer the Marshall mods like the "feel" of the lower filtering? It sounds like the CCV is tighter and punchier which would explain the higher filtering. I could be wrong as well. I'm not completely sure. Just going by what I saw. Since Steve was tired of "The Old Thread", I wanted to contribute. I think I know what that old thread was. If you hang in there Steve, Maybe Brad could have you an Aldrich built from CCV parts by Mark. I know you are sceming. :lol: :LOL:
