What a little bitch

[ericb]

I now own the amp in question and when I first fired it up it felt and sounded kinda sluggish. I'm not one to jump to conclusions and have been around and owned too many ampsand pretty much know or in the ballpark of knowing what an amps problem might be. I'm thinkin it's either the output tubes or it's just a matter of biasing the amp up proper. I'm not pointing any fingers and really don't care why or how but...Cracked the amp open,pulled the tubes,set up my bias rite in the amp,installed the tubes into the bias rite,fired it up,let it warm up for 10-20 minutes,flipped the stanby switch to play and WHOA!!!!!!! Bias reading shot up 118Mv's and the bias trim pot was cranked to the max...still no big deal but will have a very negative affect on an amps feel and tone. So...I idled it down to around 35Mv's to where it should be or thereabouts and today...I'm grinnin from ear to ear and happier than a pig in shit in the rain. Alot of you know me (from the forums anyways) and I've owned and played a ton of amps and however, I do not consider myself an authority but....This Cameron is truly one of if not the best sounding feeling amp I've played to date. There is alot of versatlity in this amp and alot of tone shaping capabilty...It sounds like the youtube video's if you want it to. There are alot of great amps out there and this is truly one of them and in my personal top 3. I flip alot of amps as most of you know but.....this one is not going anywhere except maybe down to Mark for some tweaks that he most graciuosly offered to do for free....He called me...I didn't call him...in fact...Where the hell did ya get my number Mark????? lol!!!!

WOW,
I never had the amp serviced, and that may explain my issue with it's sound? that is the way it shipped! 118ma??? Well, either way I have a New Diezel Herbert and loving it! Maybe the tone was there, but an amp spiked to 118ma will have some issues with tone! Kurt, have fun with the CCV and thank you for the offer you made me for it, I'm glad it's what you hoped it would be!

No chance 118ma current was going thru power tubes and they still worked... Possibly 118divided by 2 EL34's but not 118 each.. .nada chance. If you had that much current going thru them , they would've already been almost solid red and you would've shut off the amp within a heartbeat or they would've blown up . Sorry.

Cameron is reported to have screwed people over for years, taken in untold thousands of dollars in deposits without delivering, kept people's amps for months or years, etc...all the while responding only like an angry drunken teenager lashing out at people (nice customer service).

And now, when there are a couple of amps (allegedly) finally ready to ship Cameron deletes hundreds of posts that detailed their horrid past, as if deleting those threads will make all the bad customer service go away and everything will be peachy.

This is the biggest insult yet to the people who sent Cameron their money and waited months or years.

The first guy to receive a CCV-100 got an imcomplete amp with used tubes that sounded bad and a nasty email from Cameron in response to his requests for help. Another guy get an amp that pops when using the footswitch. Still no word about all the folks who sent their amps in for mods.

Why is there a fan club that defends this company? Any other company would be crucified for acting like this.

The reason why people stick up for Mark is because they/we are friends with him and know that his intentions were never to screw people over. I'm friends with Mark and I don't agree with a lot of the stuff that has happened but there are always 3 sides of the story.
With all the negative shit that had been said there has also been a lot of bullshit thrown at him that was completely false. There was definitely stuff said about Marks Mom who had passed away and acusations of Mark having a drug problem and countless other falsehoods. I guess that is why the threads got deleted.

We all need to look at both sides of the story. Yes people have waited a long time for there amps and yes there were things promised that never added up but there's also questionable things about the so called amp that never sounded good. First off lots of guys use NOS tubes in there amps. The so called tubes from India are tubes that sound the closest to the old mullards and they arent cheap. Just because Dale didn't see ruby tubes or Sovteks doesn't mean that the tubes he got were shit. As far as the amp not sounded like the one at NAMM.... What gutar did he use? What Speakers, What pickups? Am I supposed to just roll over and take a guys word that the amp sucks with absolutely no clips from the guy or absolutely no proof?? Im not ragging on Dale, truly, but you need to keep an open mind.
Mark is human and although I don't agree with the e-mail he sent Dale I can see why He would be a bit put off..... I also see why Dale would be put off to.
The point Im trying to make is that although things look bad, you seem to always focus on one side without thinking that there might be other stuff going on. I have publically acknowledged that there is a ton of shit that could have been handled better but in order to make assumptions we all really need to know all sides of the story.

Dale

So you are telling us that you did not take the amp to anyone ...Hero amps????....no.....I have a different message from you.......lying again Dale......keep it up Dale....WTF is wrong with you.......I hope its coming clear as to why I PM him that message. There is no way that amp would run at 110mv for any good amount of time. The only thing I forgot was the power cord.....every thing else is on him. The tubes......At the time dosh....I mean dale had to have the amp yesterday .....he said he would not be able to play the amp for 6 months (I don't care what he says about who he is or where he was but that's clearly another lie).....So the tubes I bought .....the lps12ax7 had a bad run(and they still suck) any amp tech can back me up on this....so I put the good working tubes from my amp into his.......and......here it is again............he knew this but likes to leave this out of his posts..........as I let him know about the tubes and the lps problems when I called him about the tracking #. When I did talk to him after he got the amp.....he had said he would not be around and would call when he was back in town.....so I could send him a power cord and new tubes......did he call...............NO...... just went on line and talked more shit. Not once did this guy call me when he could not get what he wanted out of it......just came on here and talked shit and rag on me and the amp .............but as we see now....the amp is good and gets the sounds on the you tube clip. This guy is also forgetting other people are patiently waiting for the amps wile this guy bitches about his wait AND GOT HIS FIRST. There is more but I think that you get the point and I hate typing.

love the ending. btw your amps rock

Sup Mark!

BTW... A lot of us in the background including myself thought that Dale was a whiny little bitch. I don’t mind saying that publicly now and if anyone wants to think that I'm a suck up to Cameron amps then so be it. There was a lot of BS surrounding Dales story IMHO and I’m laughing my freaking ass off that now that the amp has found a new home and the guy who now owns the amp loves it. (Exactly what I expected BTW)

So to recap......Dale shit all over the amp, made many accusations about it sounding like crap, Made accusations about diode clipping which in fact who gives a shit as long as the amp sounds good, Made accusations about bad tubes even though LOTS of mfg's use NOS tubes and Bitches about Mark not giving him a fucking $1 chord. So I guess in the end... the amp turned out to be perfectly fine.
Ive said it once and I'll say it again, there are always 3 sides to every story.

That must be it!

Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived
To the valley where the crossroads meet below
And where all darkness seems to grow
People blame it on the hill
The hill where no one dares to go...
The mansion

The coach had stopped and from the window you could see
7 horsemen in the night
Miriam Natias and Jonathan LaFey
Saw the magic in their eyes
They were in for a surprise
The darkness would soon be complete
A horseman came forth from the dark

We know you've come to inherit whats yours...the mansion
Take our advise and go back on this night
If you refuse 18 will become 9...oh no
Oh 18 is 9

Jonathan laughed and said get out of my way
I dont believe a word you say
The 7 horsemen disappeared into the night
And said someday youll need our help my friend

I think poor jonathan was scared

18 is actually 9...it stuck in his mind
