Holy shit, that sounded great! First time I've heard one...thanks!
Is this an older CCV? Since Mark is getting carte blanche on the components the builder uses will there possibly be tonal differences? I know in the past Mark would spend weeks or longer tuning each amp. How will this be affected? Will he find the perfect tone to his ears and then all amps will be built consistently like the prototype he tunes to his ear? Did he tune each amp seperately in the past because most of the amps had differences in component brands, etc.?
In the past Mark gets the same sound in his head out of his work using what he had on hand. Thats why he had to "tune" each amp, because he was using what he had to get the sound he likes. Kinda like a great player who gets his tone with whatever gear he happens to have at the moment. Now he has what he wants, as I type this he is at Tone Merchants with the parts catalog hand picking each and every component, maker and value. Then next week he will hand build the production prototype 001 with the midi circuit, line out and his new FX loop design by hand at the manufacturer with them there taking notes. It will take a few days and he will get it exactly the way he wants it and test it/play it/burn it in/try different tubes/make sure it is the best he can do. Once he signs off on it that is what we will build exactly. Thats the plan.
