Yes, and not made by Mark nor true to the original Atomica. Great amp none the less.

Prices on anything with the Cameron name on it have gone insane. An OD pedal sold a bit ago for $560 and a CCV Mark did in a JCM800 chassis went for $4500.

$5100, for a "1/3rd Mark Cameron collaberation" amp that wasn't even built by him is nuts. Especially since the complete verified schematics for this is widely available online. Off the shelf transformers to boot. It's a scaled down Jose preamp with a Friedman style power and NFB section.

I like how in the description it says, "it is said to be the one Brad King held back for himself!"

It's the orange tolex, Adds at least $2k to the value.

Still I would love to own it. But slightly out of my budget range...

$5900

I agree!!!!! WOW just WOW!!!!! While it is a good sounding amp, it isn't $5900.00 worth... I wonder if the bidder will follow through, I thought it was overpriced at the $3,000 mark.

$5900

5900 is ridiculous. I got my one off Atomica modded slp for less than 3k in trade value and it sounds better than the production Atomica I tried at Tone Merchants. Plus there have recently been several cameron modded marshalls under 3k that I'd bet would sound better than this

And the reason I'm learning to build my own stuff is...

 

[Alex_S]

Which production amp sounds closest to an Atomica? A BE100?

 

[Bulk Wrap]

And the reason I'm learning to build my own stuff is...

For that amount of money, you could buy enough parts to build 4 amps - blow up 3 - learn something, and still wind up with the amp you want in the end.

 

[Starman22]

There is a half kilo of Columbian blow in the Orange one.

Oh wait it’s a Dave King version, nevermind.

Exactly. Doubt they'll get paid. A real Jose doesn't go for that. Although its been awhile since I've seen one up for sale.

I WON!!!!

 

[Deanmachine]

I'd rather get a Wizard MTL and have a few bucks left over Congrats to whoever bought this !

 

[Webb]

Wow, that’s nuts! If anyone wants a CCV for that price, let me know. I’d consider selling mine.

I wouldn’t sell my CCV for $10,000. It irreplaceable...and it’s not a crap shoot if I like it’s tone...and I’m not into the next best thing behind the CCV.
