... The CCV's was JD trying to get him souped to make some cash when he couldn't do it. Two guys were made whole when Rob and BK took on Cameron amps and that was it.
That Damn JD.....such a bad influence...
Does this mean someone is going to start another jd appreciation threads or all the wonderful help? :lol: :LOL:

4 mods = 50K ........err yeah that da ticket.
I have a family member that has some disabilities. I feel sorry for him. He's just smart enough to know he's retarded. He's miserable and tries to make everyone around him the same. He's just like you. He jerks off on a blow up doll and screws plastic bags with calves liver he buys. It's really sad! Everyone feels bad but we stay away from him.
My girls Vajaja does it for me but one mans vajina is another mans calf liver ...

Sounds like shit and nothing like the stock Metro-Friedman.
If I were to judge the stock Metro-Friedman vs Cameron modified via these clips, I would have to agree with Dan. I wouldn't say Mark "ruined the amp", since I haven't seen the interior of it, but the stock M-F tone sounds much better to my ears. Mark Cameron prefers a butt-load of preamp distortion vs. us older folks who prefer power-tube distortion. It's all about what YOU like.

You would love a Wizard MCII. A lot of EL34 distortion which gives it it's big sound.

Thank you that was my point.

For the record I would love an older original Aldrich JMP someday, always have and do think Mark is a talented guy.
However he totally sucks as an entrepreneur / businessman.

I love the Wizard MC clips I've heard. What's the difference between the MC and MC II?

I think everyone here is well versed on Mark's business proclivities. I'd like to find an "Ocean" JMP myself, but alas, I have no funding... :(

Sure as hell doesn't seem that way. You play a Friedman Kitchen Sink. It has a "butt-load" of pre-amp distortion as well.

Try again.

No difference on the overdrive channel... the clean channel comes with a preamp volume control on the II with just volume on the I. The II has an added contour knob and you can have either V or C transformers in either amp for the same price.
 
Wow...is he still getting that kind of scratch for his amps/mods???? I thought he roasted it on both ends hence the Cameron hype.....Gone.
 
If I were Friedman, I'd be asking Charvedan to stop posting threads about my amps. Don't want a guy like that associated with your brand. I know a certain tube vendor already did that.

But you're not and nobody cares what you think.

If I was a scammeron supporter id watch what I say on pulic forums cuz somewhere sometime you might run into some that got burnt and get a 6 pak of smackdown ...

For the record Laura never asked me to do or not to do anything.

You're making up stories.
 
Did you just post a wrestling video?
You just keep finding ways to look dumber every day
 
has enyone noticed the shitty cab in the cameron modded plexi..????
just saying......................

:lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :thumbsup:

Dan probably thinks he could "open a can of whoop-ass" on each and everyone of us
You know, talk too much smack about Friedman and he'll give you "the stunner"
He probably calls himself "the Missouri Rattlesnake"
When someone says Friedman are not the best amps of all time, he stares at his computer screen and says "what? what? what? what?"
Etc.
 
It looks like Mark installed pre-EQ MV w/diode-clipping in this particular amplifier. It also looks like he decreased the V1b cathode resistor value (changed to metal-film) to increase 2nd stage gain, and used a radial .68uf (or possibly a 1uf) cathode bypass to target bass frequency gain. When making modifications for gain at V1a/b, it's best to use axial type electrolytic capacitors, and suspend them off the surface of the resistors... This keeps the electrolytic capacitors nice and cool! :) See comparison pics...

Cameron


Cornford


No modification is complete without an ample helping of high-temp silicon... :lol: :LOL:


I guess if the owner likes it, that's all that matters. Why anyone in the year 2014 would purchase a $3200.00 NMV amplifier, and then convert it to a MV is beyond comprehension. :scared:

How much $ does Mark Cameron charge to do this modification?

Bigger question is who would pay someone to do this ... ??? :confused:

And who would pay a tech $100 buck an hour to troubleshoot when things go wrong.

What's happening...
I think that's the only valid point I've heard from you in about...

I don't think I can recall ever seeing a thread about any Cameron Marshall going down but that goop is disturbing. The 4 that I've had here had some type of paint over the values but not gooped. I'm sure Mark C has gone away from the goop and uses this way of hiding his circuits. The Golub lead mod I had was painted too. BTW I still think Cameron modded Marshalls are the best modded Marshall tone available. Anyone got a problem with that? PM me... :gethim: :lol: :LOL:
