John Wesley is live only for PT and aside from the Arriving Somewhere live album he's never recorded on a PT studio album. Steven had used Badcats for a lot of their stuff from In Absentia through Incident, some type of Marshall for earlier stuff.

I hear anecdotally that Cameron amps do not retain their tones when turned up enough to push air to record or play live
This being the reason given there are no pro players using the amps. Some say it is the fault of the diode clipping.
I have not played a Cameron, but have many contacts, some with experience of the amps as owners
They say the amps are all over the place in terms of tones and not at all consistent within one model or mod
It has been said in passing that Aldrich had this very problem and has not used the mod on anything we have heard
Putting 2 and 2 together (and making 4.5) might this explain why George Lynch had an original CCV yet sold it soon thereafter?
Maybe a poor example, as George plays everything and has gone through many endorsements, but there are few example to choose from in the Cameron history

touchpaper lit...standing well back...

I understand what you mean by amps staying together at high volume. I've found that issue with ever Marshall mod I've heard. At crazy high volumes, the amp reacts differently. I'm not fond of cranking modded Marshall's to 10... BUT I've never needed to. I can get them very loud (band volume) and the mods sound great. However, stock Marshall's cranked to 10 do sound good...

That said, I've owned a CCV since 2010 and with the Mercury Magnetics transformers, the amp stays together at ear bleeding volumes. I was actually surprised and impressed how it sounded cranked. I. Ant think of a venue where you would ever need to crank it that loud though. You'd be deaf in a few hours of playing through it cranked.


While I love George Lynch's playing, I wouldn't take anything he says or does for my own personal justification. George is a massive whore and would put his name on a rock if someone would pay him. Shit, I would too.

I can't confirm, but I believe Doug used Cameron amps a lot on tour along with lots of other modded Marshall's. Like most of us, we can't settle on just 1 amp.

Funny, here's our resident class ass Charvel Dan with the first post in this old RT thread about Doug Aldrich's modded Marshalls...and in the pic HE posted there's a CAMERON MODDED STANDEL right there.



Anyway this old thread talks about DAs rig back a few yrs ago.

 

[Chester Nimitz]

Wow a forum post on the internet what a discovery you've found, ive never seen anything quite like it.

Did you find that all by yourself ? You must own a computer, thats highly impressive.

I'll alert the media ...

This just in : water is wet & its hot in summer film @ 11 ...

I was up to no good just as you suspected all along.

Those are Suhr & Golub modded JMP's lip-shits.

Yes i know now you're going to tell me all about the MC modded Standel ... yes we know all about it.

This is investigative journalism at its finest no doubt.

John Suhr, Martin Golub, when they worked with Bob. And, Mark supplied a mod for a short time. Doug needed it worked on but had to buy a place in line at Cameron. Sent his money by Western Union, but never got his amp back.

I have a Golub mod with me now, and one at LASD getting modded by Martin. If one is good, two is better....2 month wait list I was told by David.

So accordoring to Steve K Doug Aldrich wired Cameron cash & sent an amp to work on and never got it back ..... wow classy, he must have alot of repeat customers.

Mark Cameron rip off artist & thief who woulda thought, more ground breaking news.

 

[Racerxrated]

Which artist have used Cameron amps on recent records????

Thanks

This was the OPs original post. A request for who has used Cameron amps to record with. People responded accordingly, and you turn it into a shit fest on the morality of the modder.

Of course, that's to be expected from you, Charvel dipshit Danny, Chester the molester or whatever the fuck you call yourself these days living in that rat fest shithole in East St fuckin Louis.

You act like you actually had something YOU personally lost at some point. You also act like you even know what you're talking about. Which of course anyone who's been on this forum for a decent amount of time KNOWS isn't true.

You're just a witless loser who has nothing EVER to contribute to this forum except shit guitar playing, nonsensical rants about things you know NOTHING about and a few naked chick pics.

Cmon Dan..tell us the truth. Have you ever kissed a girl? Other than your blowup doll of course.

Now thats free Comedy & worth every penny ...

If you're worried about the OP's thread why in the hell are you digging up un-related posts from 7 years ago dipshit ?

This being the reason given there are no pro players using the amps. Some say it is the fault of the diode clipping.

So... this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine - please understand this is not directed at you, just at the concept in general.

The whole idea that diode clipping in an amp causes problems with tone at volume or is inherently "bad" because it is not "tube gain" is total bullshit. I hear tons of people talk about how "boosting a stock Marshall is all you need". Well guess what? Jose style diode clipping is doing a similar thing (adding a bit of saturation) is a different way that actually reduces overall volume directly proportionally to the value of the diodes used.

I owned two Jose Arredondo modded Marshalls in the '80s that I used on stage, including in front of 5000 people in a large auditorium, with the diode clipping engaged and these amps sounded fucking glorious. The modded 100 Watt JCM 800 I was using, with the diode clipping engaged, in that large a room, I still couldn't get the amp's master above 12 o'clock before the sound guy would be srceaming at me. There is no reason to crank a 100 watt amp onstage with a PA mix, even in an auditorium, unless that is the only way the amp gets the goods (like a stock Plexi). And it is going to be tough to get a good PA mix with an amp that loud on stage, thus the reason for attenuators, PPIMVs, half-power switches, variacs, you name it.

There is not one amp I've ever owned that had diode clipping, including the amps I build, that I cranked loud enough to play a large auditorium, moving plenty of air and the amp sounded like crap or didn't retain it's tone because the diode clipping was engaged, including Mark's amps (and I've owned an original CCV, a Jose Mod and modded Standel with clipping circuits).

For the tones, I like I can also say that I could get the Jose (with diode clipping engaged) and the Aldrich mod I had (which is all tube gain stages), dialed in and cranked up and there was no difference in the tone. They both sounded great.

The idea that diode clipping is inherently bad or causing amps to "fall apart" at volume is nonsense. If you've played one of Mark's amps and preferred it without the clipping engaged, that's fine, but it doesn't mean that it is inherently bad, just another option.

My amps do not require the clipping circuits to be engaged to have plenty of gain, however, they sound just as good crazy loud with the diode clipping engaged. This clip is just a shitty camera clip, but it is with the highest level of clipping engaged and ear-splittingly, Coliseum-level loud:

Sounds damn good and not falling apart to me...

Damn that amp sounds good Steve. Straight in and killing it. Impressive.

No sweat, as I was not the original messenger.
It's good to hear insight from someone who owned and used the Jose and Aldrich amps/mods.

I passed on what was told to me by owners of multiple CCVs, including George's, which 2 subsequent owners said was an unremarkable amp. I have but their take on the sounds and enjoy hearing from other owners (in between the nonsense).

I'll take in the clip later.

You are truly stupid. A true fucktard of the highest order.

Hmm..let's see...Doug Aldrich's Rig...Cameron amps included in said rig...

Many posts in the thread about how Doug Aldrich recorded with Dio using Cameron modded Marshalls...and a modded Standel....

Unless you are going to now call Dan Gower a liar as well. And the other RT members who chimed in.
See Douchebag Danny, you just keep trying and you never get anywhere, ever.

OP asked about what albums/artists recorded with Cameron amps. You chime in on unrelated sludge about him stealing. Thinking you'll start up some shit and have people take your side.

Too bad you lose. BTW I heard you did time?? Funny you call Cameron out and here you are talking shit with a criminal record.

Bet you made a good prison Bitch, Bitch.

Now go lay down by your dish.

It truly is remarkable that Cameron threads go to utter shit EVERY time. Now for some REAL fun...
