You have a good point there dude
Curt(Chub) is ABSOLUTELY trustworthy; and if he says it I wouldn't hesitate to believe it. No doubt in my mind. He's a very good player who moved to LA back in the 80s; like a lot of guys it didn't work out but started his own gear sales business and knows a ton of great players, amp guys, etc...and now has probably the best bang for the buck USA made superstrat business going in Chubtone guitars. A lot of members here are newer, and aren't familiar with some of the old timers but Curt was one of the originals here way back.
This post is not meant to ruffle anyone's feathers regarding Cameron and his ripping people off; so let's not misunderstand this....but I've heard the statement "some are great and some aren't so good" with Cameron modded Marshalls....it seems to get regurgitated over the years but I've yet to ever see "don't buy that 1984 2204 with the Jose mod because it is average!" written by anyone.
@Chubtone Curt, you’re needed here
Agreed. I had 5 Cam modded Marshall’s and played my friend’s Jose mod, so 6 total that I tried, all sounded very good to great and even the worst sounding one I’d still take of any modded Marshall’s I had by Gower (KK++ & Rockmonster), Friedman, Kruse, Kolbe, and a few others that I won’t name out of respect. I still ultimately sold all my Cam mods (still have my ccv) because I came across other amps I liked better
As good as those Cam mods sound though, I’d bet between your C, 72 & Naylor they still may not last long for you. I got a Cam Jose last summer that imo was one of the 2 or 3 best sounding Cam mods I tried so far in terms of tone (didn’t sound as big as others though, no depth knob) and I still couldn’t justify keeping it with the stuff I have now. I also am well aware of how much I liked that one because I AB’ed to other Cam mods I had in the past when it still belonged to my friend locally. I was jealous of it for a while lol
Yep it wouldn't displace anything here. Still the king of modded Marshalls, that I've owned anyway
The magic of the Wizards are the power sections....that's where you get it. If you can't/don't turn up your rigs regularly, like stadium loud just for fun (I do with my amps a few times per month) then a Wizard is a waste of money Imo. Not that at low/medium volumes they aren't killer, they are but at those volumes not much different than what you already have.
That’s why I moved on from my mtl 100
All of their “amps” have been marketed as the tightest without boosts ie DAR , Fortin , not sure if they have had any other endorsements.
Destroy Erase Improve and Chaosphere were recorded with boosted Rectos before anything fancy was on the market.
Agreed man ! I run all my amps with either an eq or a hpf/lpf filter and I can get a 700$ amp to sound close to an 4k one but I still love chasing gear lol
