SLO or Cameron CCV

[johnnyjellybean]

...........yeah....... My XTC Classic that was modified for more gain (like double the gain) sounded EXTREMELY close to the CCV that I tried at the NY amp show. So close that it made me completely lose any gas I had for a CCV. My XTC was modified by Mark when he worked for Rienhold but the mod was quite simple and I could duplicate it on any Classic in about 15 mins.

all things considered...the SLO is the way to go

all things considered (except tone)...the SLO is the way to go

Fixed it for ya...

You're a piece of work...

I am just kidding. I love the SLO tone. I would own one, but to me, the SLO only sounds good turned up...

It's not a mouse-fart volume amp that's for sure.

The SLO is a legendary amp no doubt. It's been cloned and ripped off time and time again by others. I have owned two of them. That said, IMHO the CCV is far more versatile and has a superior tone.

Wow....that amp sounds great

Someday I hope to play that.

Nick's Right...

I you want the best, and you're willing to make the commitment to wait, you will in the end be happy... IMO there is NOTHING like a CCV, and I have had, and have some of the best amps in the World.

Best,

Roid RAGE

Sound is a subjective thing and one man's "best" is another man's overated POS

Exactly, I would take a Wizard over both a SLO or CCV. If I played fast as hell speed lucifer worship type music then I would probably choose a CCV but then again, I like well built amps so maybe not.

What about Viking Goat Fuck Anal Cavity Gore Black Death styles?

Now that is a funny ass name for a genre of music and actually fits alot of music out there. You should copyright that.

Actually, the Cameron production amps are built really well, have you seen them?

Yes, but I wouldn't trust anything from that guy after dealing with him. I saw the inside of my sloppy modded one and several others. I didn't and don't like the tone so it really doesn't matter at all anyways. Some men love it some men don't, not my thing and never will be.

I understand all that Joey and quite frankly, dont blame you in the least, but the production Cameron stuff is pretty well built. Oddly enough, I loved every Cameron modded amp that Ive ever played but there was only one production amp of his that did it for me..

 

[espquade]

I think it will be worth the wait.

Seriously if you don't mind waiting ....... Yeah , why not go for it .

I have already been down that path having owned over 8 Cameron Modded Marshall's and a CCV and don't own one Cameron as to date and don't miss them either ! The Friedman Marshall I own smokes everyone of them! .

I'm also looking at the Fortin Bones sometime in the future that when I order it it will actually arrive !

Some men love it some men don't........

You are reffering to the amps right?

 

[Shark Diver]

amp1 vs amp2 threads might be fun, but really nothing is gained here. Soooooo much depends on the player, equipment, style and simple taste. Amps I don't like at all sound amazing in the right hands. Tone I love is lost if I jump on that rig.

I agree with the guys that have said buy it, try it, then decide what works for you.

 

[fuzzyguitars]

i have owned alot of cameron stuff.

i still would if he were dependable.

i took 2 and half years to get one of my prepaid amp mods back from him.

sheeesh!

+1....

I am still wanting to try out a Friedman... I have been close I should have taken Dave up on his offer to send me a Marsha to try out.

Dave,

You're welcome to come down to my place to try out my Friedman Windsor. It's one hell of a tone machine

Well I guess there is no waiting list for Cameron amps now since Chris left. I guess that means I am screwed because I got on there back in September.

I wish I had a way to contact Mark directly.

 

[joolzriff]

dont buy something u cant get repaired in a flash......Soldano is top notch......try and get the CCV fixed or even an email response or a phone answer..i wouldnt dare spend a dime on that amp Just my opinion,it would scare the hell out of me.......
plus anything w/ a bunch of channels and buttons aint cricket in my book
