Has George Lynch used one or say some one famous used one in a full big label production ? If so can you share links ?
 
I've got some tough love for you: very few people outside of a handful of gear forums know who any of the modders are. Not just Cameron, but any of them. They only know big-name amp companies or modders who have gone on to start their own bigger companies.
 
Not an expert, but CCV not that I know of. Cameron is friends with John Norum and Another Destination has an Aldrich on it though and I think Aldrich mentioned using one on Killing the Dragon but later changed his story and said it was a Suhr.

I think John Norum used a Cameron modded Marshall on one of his solo albums. And of course Doug Aldrich used them live.

My honest opinion is the Peavey XXX crunch channel is closest of production amps. Yes i actually have owned both. Lynch Sig amp. Lol. Not as good but close enough for the cheap cost and lack of potential ass rape. Falls way short in the feels though. They are very much 2C+ like
 
Someone told me Ratt’s Nobody Rides for Free was a Cameron modded Marshall. I always thought SLO, but who knows?

In the LA Music Scene Mark was very well known especially by the early 2000's. Before I met him when I was working with my friend in Slayer than later GnR in the late 2000's I had heard of him and his amps, He had also been teching for Michelle in Meldrum and before that John Norum, did I mention he was Doug Aldrich's tech when he was in DIO, you can see his amps in Aldrich's rack plus he also made his pedal board for that tour. Anytime I went to a event or concert with Mark he was always recognized. One time we went to a funeral for a mutual friend of ours and of all people in attendance it was Gary Holt who recognized him and came up and greeted him. I know we all like to bash on Mark here but to compare him to these hacks doing amps nowadays is disingenuous.

You’re right, these hacks haven’t ripped off countless customers of amps and cash.
 
Someone said Wylde was using a Cameron modded Marshall for the parking lot concert. Pretty sure that's legit, since I read it here.

Yeah I'll give you that. Has someone somewhere used [insert amp guru]'s amp on a record? Sure.

I admit I'm going off on a tangent here. But have some perspective. It's been more than 25 years since any of this stuff was relevant. I've met many current artists. Very few of them have heard of Cameron, Gower, Fortin, Morin, Hermansson, Folkesson, Caswell, Langner, etc. They know the big names: Bogner, Soldano, Friedman, Diezel, Mesa, Randall, Laney, Rivera, Fryette, etc. Most artists just don't care. They want a decent tool to use to make music. They play whatever their producers, managers, sponsors, engineers, amp techs suggest. They need their amps to work all the time, every time. And they don't have the luxury of waiting months or years for stuff to be custom built or fixed on the road. Best case, maybe... MAYBE... they were able to use a hot-rodded amp in a studio somewhere because the producer had one in their collection—but it was just one amp in a sea of 30 others.

Nobody gives a fuck about Cameron CCV anymore. Its beyond old hat now. Seriously, who gives a fuck about his designs anymore? Everything has changed so much since his relevance. Rig Talk codgers are the only people and place where it seems to be of interest.
