Dave is that the Jose you got off Ned?
I remember him offering me a 50 watt cameron for this 100 watt Cameron I had. Not sure if this is the one.
Sounds bad ass. :rock:

Yeah, this came from Ned. :rock:
 
Oh hell yeah. That Cameron owns all.
Like JTyson, i also used that as a reference tone for the longest time.
Glad to see you've put it back up.
 
That Cameron Jose clip is still the best high-gain Marshall I've heard online. Definitely a benchmark. What are the details of that amp? Just a standard Cameron Jose mod? Or what?

It was a standard Jose mod as far as I know. It had 4 push pulls, volume for clipping, two gains for bright caps and depth pot to make it darker. I do know it was a massive sounding 50 watt amp. It was up for sale a few years ago, but the input jack (heavy duty switchcraft) was changed out and a bunch of zip ties were changed... so someone was clearly tinkering with it. I was going to buy it back until I saw the changes. The seller thought I was trying to sabotage his sale when I mentioned the changes, which I wasn't.

To really stir the pot, I sold another killer 100 way Jose to someone on this board (I don't want to name him since he still owns it).... and the amp dripped with gain and tone. These two were the best Cameron Jose mods I've heard. 232cap had one that was modded in the last few years that was ripping as well. He should have kept it. ;)

Thanks for the info. That 50 watter man... sounds amazing.
 
Such variance with those Cameron mods... some were just dogs, others great. weird

I've owned 5 and played several others...none of them were dogs :confused:
 
Your clips always sound awesome! Good stuff. Can't wait to hear your IIc+ vs JP-2c clip;)

Hmmm....I also had 5, 4 Aldrich and a one-off. Every one was better than any other modded Marshall I've had. Fortin was next, but a bit noisy. Golub sounded like an Aldrich but needed a pedal to tighten, had mushy lows. Those two are tied for 2nd place to all my Cameron experiences.
 
Yeah, I think a few of you guys got the word on which ones to get and they were passed around.. unfortunately, I just bought blind, tone was ok on the first but not great at all on the second one. I stopped buying after that. I read somewhere on here from people with way more experience with these amps than me, that they were all different. I think thats probably right.

they were both the jose mods with the zener switch on back
 
Sounds killer Dave, keep 'em up this time!

Only caveat, I'm gonna have that Schaffer riff in my head all day :doh:
