Hi,

Background..
I hope this topic doesn't violate the manufacturer classification here since I'm basically asking about other makers, if so my apologies.
I live across the pond and my Cameron experience is limited to youtube video clips and the Salvation modded "Camerock" module egnater/randall mts system. The latter is supposed to be based off the CCV and is so stellar and inspiring to play, probably one of my most enjoyable amp-experiences ever.
I've owned most big name amps (mesa mark V, dual rectifier, Diezel Herbert and VH4, Marshall jvm, jcm800 etc ) so I'm truly starting to believe the CCV might be my cup of tea. Although in a small scale band I still spend most time playing at home, writing songs and practising which is why I need a CCV for home and studio use first and foremost.

the essential..
I am frankly not willing to take my chances with Mark Cameron after reading all about the previous (and on-going?) turbulence and since the King/Rig-talk alternative doesn't offer any amps ATM (I would have bought a 230V version on the spot), here is my question;
I want a 230v (European voltage) Cameron CCV or something equivalent to a CCV channel 2, that is easily repairable if something goes wrong (no crazy mounted PCBs etc) and may very well come in a smaller package (lunchbox, eg 18 or 30W) although I can live with a 100W monster as well. What is my best bet?
A) stick to the Salvation Camerock (mts)?
B) go the Kemper/Axe fx route? Kempers are not that expensive over here, although I like analogue amps especially for song writing (inspiration and the feeling of crude organic tone)
C) Friedman? Can this get as mean as a CCV? I perceive them as a quality product, any CCVs built in the same facility?
D) Clean lunchbox amp (suggestions?) with what pedal?
E) Other alternative?
