I had everything set up already and just went for it jamming. Was fun. I had about 30 minutes with nobody in the house before going on a trip, decided to blow my ears out lol.

Not trying to be cruel just honest. Not hearing the scameron majic.
Your recording sounds like a buzzy headphone amp.
But its not the recording its the amp.
 
Nice work! Sounds HEAVY......

I've had 10 Camerons, all killer....
 
Mannnnn that thing would rule in a mix, the hair on it is great, love it.
 
Is it just the mic or me, or why does it sound like bass and mids are set to zero and the treble is set to 10? I know all too well how some amps are hard to record. Just trying to get an idea of what it’s like in the room?

This is a common thing with all distorted guitar amps - there's recording an amp like you would in a mix (which this tone is an example of) or trying to make it fill the entire frequency spectrum to sound like it would dialed in for Madison square bedroom or playing by yourself

It's like speaking two different languages

This clip is just in the language of a full mix type tone instead of an Ola or Fluff type tone

Are you listening on an iPhone

Listened on my laptop and my iPhone both. Sounded worse on my laptop so I’m just checking if anyone else is hearing what I am?

Honestly no guitar tones are going to sound big on an iPhone or laptop. Especially if it is an isolated tone. Not saying this is the case with you but most guitar players use their references for tones as a whole mix, so tones that are isolated always sound thin. Guitar players have a VERY hard time deciphering what bass guitar is doing vs actual guitar. That being said most guitar players put wayyy too much low end in their tones in the room and in turn just make a real muddy guitar tone under a mic. In the room though it sounds cool and what you’re used to hearing on a record because people are trying to achieve what two different instruments are doing with one.

All that being said… If you want as close to in the room as this actually sounded, listen on a good car stereo. An iPhone or a laptop will not be a good representation at all and never do a recording justice.
 
In all honesty I think something is really wrong with the amp. There’s a good chance it needs service on certain parts of the preamp that im almost positive are under a ton of epoxy. Until someone can get the epoxy off it will continue to sound thin and lack dynamics.

I think Dave Friedman is pretty reputable and servicing the amp did the job.

If you think that has no low end because you’re judging it on an iPhone speaker. I just got nothing for you man, sorry.
