I was going to say .... if this was the 80's ..... no lawyer would be needed ...... and he probably wouldn't be able to play the guitar very well anymore
I just don't get it. Don't people hear the great Marshall mods out now? The secrets are all out. Why even fuck with Cameron, other than being some clown who just wants something nobody else has? It's puzzling.
There is some really funny shit in this thread. Honestly, I played the Cameron CCV at the amp show and I can tell you that while it sounded very good, it's not above some of the great amps we have available now and are discussed often here at the board. That said, the CCV did "feel" amazing to play...hard to describe, but fairly unique and special in that regard.

I get it back in 2002 when "the magic and mystery" was still there. But come on. There are guys in this thread that could build you that amp, and you'd actually get it. The smoke and mirrors are just gone.
I think Mark C. still has a chance to make it right and fix this situation, and it hinges on him licensing the Cameron name and some tweaks/designs to (1) Synergy and/or (2) one of the plug in/Neural folks, etc.
1. Partner with Synergy to let them release Cameron CCV modules and negotiate his cut from that.
2. Partner with Neural, or whoever, on a plug in CCV and negotiate his cut from that.
3. Get a pro bono or low cost attorney or finance person to help set up a community fund/trust for all the people who got screwed here. - they know who they are.
4. Designate/a percentage of MC’s cut of the sales of the products from 1&2 above via a withholding agreement into the trust until everyone is refunded/made whole.
5. MC moves on, the financial trust is dissolved, he continues to collect $$ from Synergy and Neural, etc. passive income.
6. He does what he wants at that point and the debt is repaid.
The most pathetic part, other than our forum members getting screwed, is that Mark could literally hand over his schematic to someone like Dave Friedman and let him take care of it like he did with the Jose. But he would never give that up.
It's 2026 and the "secret sauce" ain't so secret anymore. It's all documented in most DIY communities at this point. You want a Cameron Jose or a Fortin Jose or a Friedman Jose or a Gower or Jose Jose or whatever... most techs who know what they're doing can get it done in a few days. There are certainly some subtle nuances like filtering and voltage tuning that matter, but the meat and potatoes of the circuit are pretty straightforward.
You want a pissed-off Jose mod? I can do it in about 2 days for you if you have a suitable donor amp. Easy peasy meeedley meedley.

Mark doesn't have schematics or set in stone type mods. He'll continually swap caps,resistors etc,etc on any given amp until it measures up to what he's trying to attain. And then goop the shit out of it..lol!!
