Based on my last ten minutes of playing, it appears that the clean channel on this amp has more gain on tap than the MKIV's lead channel if ya want it.Digital Jams":nh2tbc65 said:Pyschodave has some killer low gain vids of the CCV
It does sound nice as a clean channel as well though...

woot, congrats man, fun amp! What tubes are you guys running in yours btw?
same here, odd there would be differences like that. I think mine is one of the older ones too, it doesn't have a serial number.psychodave":11g9bonf said:

I rarely make blanket statements when it comes to gear but those Mojave 4x12's are the best speaker cabs around. I kick myself everytime I see one...that I did not replace mine when I lost them in a fire. Of all the speaker cabs that I've owned those are truly the ones that I felt were audibly next level stuff. Stupid me, stupid me. Suprises me still that people don't know just how good these things sound.sah5150":1d44otj3 said:

That he does. I believe Nicks CCV has an extra gain knob or rotary switch where we have the 2/3 way. I think Tony (roidrage) doesn't have anything extra. Mark told me he never uses much gain and actually thinks the CCV and CCM have too much gain for his personal tastes.
It is cool to have, but 99% of the time it is in highest gain.
FWIW, Mark told me he voices his amps and mods after "AC/DC goes to college" clips.
Naa Dave,
Mine has 2 Boosts when you pull out the Master & Solo knobs....
It also has a Tube Buffered Effects Loop!

Awesome Steve. Congrats. I'm curious how it sounds with your 7 (if you still have it)!?!?

He must be curled up in a fetal position on the floor next to his cabs with a pool of foul drool slowly seeping into his fine hardwood floors from jamming all night.

With my own amp about to be plugged in for the first time, I totally agree...Habuman":1ksz2dcp said:Congrats. Definitely some nice gear there. I would think you have all areas covered.
Thanks man - I sold the 7 a week ago (finally). I do have an Edwards Sykes LP with Suhr Aldrich pickups tunes to C# that I'm itching to try with the amp though...PeteLaramee":1ksz2dcp said:

Ok, well, I now understand exactly how everything works and I've tested a bunch of combinations of settings and it is very, very versatile. I bought this amp because there is something about the Cameron voicing that I really like. It isn't really like a Marshall per se, even a lightly rodded Marshall, but it isn't like a Boogie to me either. It is hard for me to describe, but it is a great voicing - amazing presence without being overwhelming in the high end - it just hits you in the guts instead of piercing your eardrums. The bass response on the amp is like no other amp I've experienced - it doesn't dominate the tone, but it adds a huge girth to the overall sound of the amp. The amp I built will be much more traditional Marshall sounding even though it will have a boatload of gain available...psychodave":zotrm72a said:So after a night of playing, how do you like it?
Cleans are nice -very usable and it is amazing in the high gain mode how much gain the "clean" channel has! Damn...
The saturation switches are genius - I definitely like the mid-sat position for rhythms and the high-sat for leads, although you can get some nice lead tones in mid-sat. To me the off position is like switching the whole amp to low-gain mode. I do love that you can switch the entire amp (at once - all channels) between the high and low gain modes. I wish that was foot switchable because it would have been AWESOME. There are cool tones to be had in both modes, but honestly the reason to get the Cameron is for the roaring high-gain mode... If I didn't have other amps that cover that low gain territory it would have been great to have the overall gain for the amp foot switchable...
This amp really comes alive when it is freakin' loud and I had my share of time yesterday playing it that way, but I was also shocked at how good it sounds at bedroom volume as well. Once things got later last night, I had to turn it down (my wife was ready to kill me anyway, but she knew there was nothing she could say with a new toy arriving.
), but I was still grinning ear to ear listening to it at bedroom volume in my W/D/W setup, happily switching channels and trying different combinations of settings - of course, you can't hear the differences as dramatically when you changes settings at that low volume, so tweaking will continue LOUD, but I was happy that it was even possible and still sounded nice, maintaining the basic character of the tone... If I had my choice though, I'd always play it LOUD and that is cool, because honestly, some amps like my MKIV actually sounded better at low volume to my ears... 
I still have a lot of tweaking to do to experience all of it, but I had a blast just playing into the night last night. I'm tired, but happy...
Now, I'm just dying for the weekend and my tubes to get here so I can fire up the amp I built for the first time and test it out. I'm nervous, but excited!!

AC/DC played a gig at a UK college in the 70's or 80's and it was recorded. They called it AC/DC goes to college. Check out some of the clips on youtube.
