Abridged Cameron Saga?

I think this would be something that Mark would be able to answer best. I am not going to give a top 3 or anything but I do want to point out that finding contract manufacturers to make tube amps is increasingly difficult in 2025 because everything is waveform soldering and everything now is surfacemount so there are not too many places especially in the USA that do hand soldering and wiring. Another thing is due to Mark's past a lot of places that do this type of work simply just don't want to get "involved" especially this late into the game. Also right before I left there was a contract manufacturer that was going to work with Mark but because at the last minute somehow a "internet troll" found out who, messaged them and they backed out. At this point I knew I couldn't help get the amps made anymore this is just beyond me along with my health issues I just had to step away.

There are plenty of ways to solve this issue, including just building amps one at a time. I've built about 10 amps in the last 3 months and I'm a nobody. I'm sure an amp genius can figure it out.

Dude I'm not trying to impress you when I see handmade amps with your name on them going for stupid money and amps you mod going for more than they originally sold for I think we all would be impressed. I think it would be best for Mark to address the rest of your post but I don't think that will happen.

I want to preface this by saying I am not referring to you personally just these recent fly by night amp companies/modders that have come and gone in the last 15 years. None have had any experience in the "real world" I am talking teching for other bands and working with grammy nominated musicians in the studio, just these Internet know it alls copying everything off of SLOclones forum.

The funny thing is I have seen a lot of guys like this come and go, all their ideas are based off of Mark and other's mods. I have seen a bunch of people call Mark and kiss his ass for info claiming they won't steal his ideas for their own profit. I am not saying you did this I am just saying a few people along the way could of worked with Mark and got the amp company off of ground but instead their ego wouldnt allow it and it had to be their amp company and under their name. They literally could of been very well off as well as Mark but instead they chose to insist on claiming other people's work as their own. I'm sure a few of these guys are getting by and the bills paid but I guarantee you if they worked with Mark in a productive manner they could of been making big money today.

Productive manner? Yeah, or got totally fucked like almost everyone else that ever dealt with him. Did he brainwash you or something?

My opinion and just like your opinion we're all assholes and they all stink, whatever the saying is. I also had an opinion on Bitcoin in 2017 and people had an opinion about my opinion. Like seriously what do you want to do argue about every post I make at this point?

Why doesn't Mark simply send back amps to their owners, even not modded ?

He didn’t record serial numbers related to contact information. Can’t send back what you don’t know who it belongs to.

Rumor has it he sold off a ton of them to pay for bills - modded or not. He changes address every so often on purpose so people don’t know where he lives.

I’m with you until you started saying working with him to make a ton of money. No one will ever make a ton of money working with him - his name is tarnished and your word carries more weight than the sound of any mod and he’s finding that out the hard way.

There are a lot of people that propped up companies copying shit 1 to 1 off of Mark - ceriatone being one. Brad tried that with whole amps and it cost him dearly. A lot of people do copy his work and it was ground breaking 20 years ago, but he’s not doing anything anyone else hasn’t figured out during that time period and many people want more modern sounds with more modern features.

Mark doesn’t work well with anyone and continues to think his work is at the front. He literally was fired for stealing transformer specifications from Bogner. Little does he know he’s being left behind because no one wants to work with someone that’s bad with money, doesn’t understand business models, and has no trust to stand on.

So no, he may think what he’s doing is groundbreaking but many other companies today are at the forefront of amp design and high gain features. The only way anyone will own a Cameron amp is second hand because the dude is so untrustworthy and no one wants to assume the risks.

I don't know how you want me to respond to this...

Wernher got the USA to the moon.
a vehment Nazi through and through.

As far as I know Mark intends to replace those owed amps when he actually gets them made, I guess that beats being a Nazi and you cant replace people?

Hey Jason during your time with Mark there, out of curiosity, how many amps did you guys sell?
 
Can you tell me about that Brad’s stuff? I heard he got himself into prison, but don’t know the whole story.
