Cameron CCV transformer

[psychodave]

^^^ Have it upped and set private...just kinda want to wait and see if he comes along here and chimes in that's ok to share the link, he did pull it for a reason so lets wait a bit, he may not want it floating around for a reason!

If it's a video of mine, I don't care, just keep me anonymous . I pulled most of my videos down due to getting too many questions on YT. ...then the guy selling an amp on eBay and claiming it sounded exactly like my amp and including a link to my video.

 

[Crunchity]

^^^There you go ^^^

Can you please PM me the clip ? He's playing a red Charvel San Dimas through I think a Cameron modded 50 watt Marshall. There was a Fortin clip too...

Shoot me your email and I'll send you the link.

@ idnotbe...just sent it to ya, lemme know if it works (never used the private/share tool at YT before).

No prob, psychodave, no mention of you (and made it clear it's not me too) in the vid.

Sorry about the missed email, I think I was missing something in the private share box at YT - but hopefully now those that wanted to hear it have.

now i got the clip~!! thanks~!!
great tone and great expression on his face.

Here is the Jose clip...

One of my all time fave clips Dave!
You do know Ned offered me that Amp prior to selling it to you
Kick myself in the ass daily for passing on it.

Awww yeeeeeee

What's the song at the beginning?

 

[LP Freak]

Here is the Jose clip...

Was that recorded straight in?

 

[idnotbe]

Here is the Jose clip...

Yeah... that's THE tone~!!
Is it the same amp that Crunchity mentioned?

Doesn't look like it, the other clip is a 4 holer. Dave just gets great tone out of his gear! I love this one too, another "reference" folder bound clip lol.

Here is the Jose clip...

yup, by far best tone I've heard

The clip of the 72 is a copy of a BE/HBE. I ultimately sent the amp to Cameron for an Aldrich mod.

THere is a Timmy pedal out front, but I only turn it on when playing Anthrax. I tell you when I put it on.

The Charvel is loaded with a Suhr Aldrich pickup.

"Copy" ..... ? Explain.

sorry for the series of questions, but....

1. is it feasible to implement jose and aldrich in one amp?
of course, completely independent 2 pres in one amp can be possible theoretically.
but is it practically feasible, if the jose & aldrich pres share the 2 * 12AX7 tubes or the T-M-B eqs??

2. are there any amps with jose & aldrich in one amp?
for ex, CH 1 jose + CH 2 aldrich... or... CH 1 clean + CH 2 jose + CH 3 aldrich.

3. what is BE-100's topology?
my guess is...

BE channel : gain stage -> tone stack -> gain -> gain -> CF -> PI (jose with SAT switch on)
HBE channel : gain -> tone -> gain -> gain -> gain -> PI (aldrich?? i am not sure what HBE is...)

4. how much is BE-100's stock B+ voltage??
scottosan should be the expert ^^

A friend had a BE/HBE and I copied the mods into an amp. It came out great, but I wanted a different sound.

The Jose and Aldrich are very different amps. The Jose uses diode/transistor clipping for saturation, while the Aldrich has an addition gain stage in the cathode follower. I have seen an Aldrich mod with an added Jose master volume. It was cool, but overkill. I've never seen an amp with both an Alder ch on one side and Jose on the other. Funny you mention it though... I've always wanted an amp with one side being a Cameron Aldrich and one side being a high gain CCV. It would be badass.

The BE is another Jose-type design. Just a different flavor from other Jose type amps.

Move your tone stack to after the CF in BE and that's BE. Then just add a gain stage before that for HBE.

The Jose MV typ goes between the CF and tone stack. There are hand drawn schematics on the net, my Friedman 2203 was slightly different but essentially that. I would imagine there are differences amp-to-amp and 'era' of the mod.

psychodave's sounded like a ton of gain when he was running no clippers and no extra stage. What was the B+ on that '72?

Dave, you'd be the one to ask I think...is there a huge difference in tone OR feel between the pre Brad, Brad era, and post Brad era CCVs ?

Also, you played the CCM at 2009 NY amp show...what is the difference between the CCM and the CCV ? I know the CCM is a more modern tone, is it just component changes or is there a significant topology change ?
