Amp ho
Not a scam. It was definitely built and sold by Cameron as an Ocean. I remember the original reverb listing when Jason put it up. I believe this is the exact amp. Mark playing. Sounds cool but not 7k cool I mean fuck.

Things are crazy right now - I mean if a clone of a Cameron asking price is 5k (ie see Sales forum) how much should be fair for a real deal Cameron?!?

Very low noise floor.

I’d say just the opposite, very high noise floor from people talking ?

I paid just under 3k for my Aldrich clone. The prices are nuts on them but that’s what it takes.
Billy Blades will make you a Cameron clone ??

Is it called the Ocean mod because it's preamp hiss sounds like putting a seashell up to your ear?

I agree, sounds cool, but this is a real deal period correct Cameron ocean. I think it was also owned by @glip22
Fast forward to the latter part of the vid around 12:50

It was named by Aldrich. He said the white noise sounded like waves of an ocean so you’re close.

James’ sounds a lot fatter and fuller to me…
Honestly, hard to say what impact recording quality might have though?

No, it's because the odds of putting your money in a bottle and throwing it into the ocean and it returning to you are better than him giving back your amp.

He does. The firebolt. I’ve owned 3 Cameron’s. The firebolt 50 watt surpassed any cameron I owned. Not trying to be a wise ass. But the truth to my ears. Then owned the firebolt 100. Just wasn’t as good as the 50. I’m still looking for another one used. I can’t afford new amps. Went back to Mesa Mark III amps. Crushed all them. And could easily capture ‘that tone’ that I found most guys looking for a Cameron amp wants. Then kick it up game over.
Just my opinion from the Cameron / Blades / Mesa amps and the several dozen others I’ve had. Now all I have is the Prs Archon 100 and that does everything I need to play.
YMMV

I don’t think the problem with blades was ever the tone, it’s the severe lack of safety and shit build quality. His amps will get someone killed.
