Ceriatone chupacabra 50 amp

[glassjaw7]

I still don't get the amps name vs cameron thing

chupacabra is a folkloric creature that feeds on cattles blood
chupacabra literally means GOATSUCKER in spanish and portuguese
is Mark Cameron's nickname goat or something?
cause THAT would be funny
:

That would be funny, be I think it's a little more of a creative play on words by Nik. A chupacabra is also a a very rarely seen creature, and that's the part that I believe he directed toward Mark's products. Really a good move on his part, but you can see how between that and the similarities to the CCV, he would be pissed. I know I would be.

come on...
it's a BITING amp based on a latin american builders work that was usually portrayed on ads with a very stereotypical mexican figure with the big hat and everything
it could be the CERIATONE COYOTE SANGRIENTO HIJO DE PUTA DE LA MUERTE


why does it have to be about Mark?
besides being Marshall based, I still can't see any other similtary with the CCV
many amps have switches arranged like that
unless Nik made some comment about Cameron or they had an old grudge, I just can't make a connection
I doubt Mark gives a shit about this amp
and if he does, that's a real shame, being a Marshall/José ripper himself

I guess I may be reading into it too far...whatever the name means and whether or not the design is Cameron inspired or not, I really want to play one in person. I'm liking what I'm hearing in the clips so far.

Agreed, seems like minds are made up here already, so I doubt any input would make a difference
He is smart to stay out of it.

Sure he is. Only about 2 or 3 people wouldn't buy a $1000 Cameron clone out of some allegiance principle. So he picks up the rest that think it's a Cameron clone. Then he picks up the people that actually listens to the clips that like the tone of it and are familiar with his build quality.

I suppose people can call it shady that he would allow the rumor it is a Cameron clone to propagate...but hell, it isn't his problem some people convince themselves of conspiracies.

I think he is getting the publicity by us talking about the amp....good, bad or indifferent. By not responding to the thread he is staying out of the drama. Pretty smart if you ask me. Just one persons opinion.

Were he to chime in, this thread would never end

At the end of the day, you have an amp you dig at a good price. Happy ending

It's the worst Cameron clone I've ever heard. It sounds nothing like one.

I emailed Nik a few days ago if he was going to be offerring it in KIT form and his response was he wasn't, don't know the exact reason of why not.

Because it's a Cameron clone that doesn't sound like a Cameron! Why would he want to kit out this secret? Makes no sense.

I don't think he mentioned it was a Cameron clone? I remember emailing Nik back and forth a few months ago about potential amps and he just mentioned he had a Hot-Rodded Marshall in development along with a few other ideas.

I agree. Cool hot rodded Marshall, but I'm hearing anything that sounds like the Camerons I've played.

I'm just going by popular rumor.

Facts?!?!? Phhhhttt! Who needs those? This is all about how you feel bro...how you feeeeelllll.

 

[nico22]

clips are little shorts with no settings, only two shots...

anyway it is obvious chupacabra is based on the arredondo1.jpg schem that everyone can see on the net, with some nik tweaks
fortin did same thing with his own tweaks as cali mod
