The Forum is owned by Brad. He is free to do as he pleases with it. If you disagree with how the initial mission statements have changed leave or just don't post. I have allot of opinions on Cameron Amps and Marks involvement, etc. but I keep my mouth shut as it will possibly hurt other's livelihood. I like the forum and there are several guys I find to be very cool people to talk with so I suck it up. It's not my money so I have no ground. Dave did not wish to do that. Dave is cool and I respect his wishes. He made his decision most likely out of pure disgust as he is close with Mark. His choice and I both respect it and sympathize with it. Carry on

 

[gbsmusic]

People like Dave are what make this a cool place.
I pm'd him a few times when I was on the waiting list for a cameron and he was very cool and answered all my noob questions even though I'm sure he'd done it a thousand time before when ever someone had gas for a Cameron.
I really dug his playing and his videos in general.
I hope he continues to contribute to the forum in the future..

Until then, I keep coming back to see GBS's avatar.. man I'd love to bury my face in that ass!!!

You and me both brother-man!!!!!!!

Then it is time to openly disclose the new "mission statements", don't you think? Somewhere down the line things have changed and I don't mind the advertising but I don't like censorship in the background, sucking up etc. No matter how cool people are, this is more a matter of principles.

Rig Talk has shown significant growth in the past several years. Along the way Manufacurers and the Mod Squads have found vested interests in Rig Talk. After all, how many successes have been realized because of Rig Talk members purchasing specific gear. How many Cameron amps would have been sold without Rig Talk? Pre Brad included. Friedman mods, Suhr guitars,etc., etc.. In light of business transitions, merges, etc, the mission has changed. Nothing we can do about it. People have time and money invested now. Anyone or anything that threatens these investments will be asked to leave or ceased. Dave was a a threat. He is welcome back as long as he does not begin to be a threat again. Hey but what do I know anyway.

Guys,

As of right now Mark Cameron is out of the picture of Cameron Amplifiers. We gave him numerous chances and he let us down. In the recent past it came to light he tried to do some very shady stuff behind the scenes while I was breaking my back trying to help him and I broke ties with him just like the long line of guys who went before me. I'm not stupid though and I am not leaving my investment in flames with Cameron. I locked down the Cameron name and designs before I started this and will build the amps with or without Mark.

Dave was one of the only people left that Mark had to ramble to on the phone and for some reason Dave seems to look past all of the Cameron history and take his word as gospel. Mark does what he does and of course threw everyone under the bus that tried to help him as he has a history of and claimed everyone was against him and everyone was screwing him around. Its not true.

Dave believed the bullshit Mark would tell him and developed an agenda based on Marks version of events. Dave pretty much said Mark didn't design any of these amps and Mark was being screwed and he developed an agenda to promote the total BS agenda Mark was telling him.

I called Dave on it and told him to stop, I told him his source was full of shit and he is. I have no problems with people sharing their honest opinions about anything and I could care less if you like an amp or not but if you make it your mission to kick me in the nuts because Mark Cameron sold you a bunch of bullshit I will have a conversation with you which I did with Dave via PM.

He didn't want to believe it, asked to leave AND requested all of his posts to be removed. So thats what happened.

Here is the deal on Cameron and Cameron Amplifiers.

Mark is a talented designer and has an ear for great tone. Mark is also mentally unstable and less than honest. I had my fill of Mark Cameron just before Christmas and broke ties with him. I have allot vested in the Cameron Amplifiers name and I will protect my investment.

At great expense and drama over the past year Mark Cameron sat down with us and designed, blue printed & spec'd the following products:

CCV
Mini CCV
Atomica
Old Bitch
Attenuator
Several Cabinet designs.

For those not in the know most guys can't get back their simple Marshall mods from Mark in years so the uphill battle to get all of these on paper was more that you could imagine. Dave Friedman didn't design these amps Mark did, if Mark says any different he is lying.

Thats it, those will be the only Cameron products along with possibly the CCM in the future. Mark Cameron has very few friends left and Dave is one of them until he gets screwed. Ask Jerry, Kurt, Nick, Chris, Drew, Rob, Myself and countless others. All roads lead to the same place with Mark.

Thats the honest truth and the reason Dave is no longer here at his own choice.

Brad

 

[yngzaklynch]

Wow!!! I wish you well Brad. Sounds like it's been a trying endevor. As a poor guy that hopes to one day own a CCV I'm glad you hung in there.

Dave I hope things blow over and you come back. I consider you a friend on the forum and always enjoyed your vids.

Peace out,
Jim

 

[overthemountain]

I am saying the following as general thought, not aimed at Dave because I don't know if this is what he did...

Why the fuck would anyone asked to be "banned?" I don't get it, if you don't want to be here anymore then just don't come here. What's with the fucking drama?

+1
Asking to be banned is weird. Dave is definitely strong willed. He liked to stir the Cameron pot quite a bit. Is that bad, good, or doesn't matter? YOU decide. His videos sparked my initial interest in the CCV, but I would NEVER have bought one until Brad took over. They can now be purchased guilt and worry free. My my, such rambling thoughts.....4 am speak.....

+2. I think Dave has a great ear and is a talented player, but he definitely liked to stir the pot in all things Cameron, and seemed to have a negative bias toward the new Cameron venture from the get-go. The other thing to remember is the many posts about Brad trying to get all the guys who had been screwed by Mark with CCV deposits etc. their amps back, needing to have Mark only working on mods through Cameron Amps, etc. etc. Then Dave goes and posts about how he just got this new mod from Mark, completely throwing it in the face of Brad & Co and all they guys here who have been waiting for their amps for years. Sorry, but that was a real dick move IMO.

 

[gbsmusic]

I dont blame you for cutting your ties to Mark!! Thats awesome that you own those amps though!!!!!!!!! Good for you Brad and I wish you nothing but good luck with those products!! Thank you for explaining Mark is going to end up at the bottom of a river some day for fucking the wrong guy!!

 

[johnpace2]

Great post Brad. Mark has systematically fucked over nearly everyone that has tried to help him. More power to you for taking these designs (which were bought on the up and up) and running with them.

Brad

I'm honestly happy that it did not end worse for all the parties involved, economically speaking, like it happened before with all the people that dealt with Mark Cameron.

And its a plus that they will be able to continue to offer these amps to the public!

As regards to Dave I don't know what happened and really don't care about all the drama.
And I agree with everyone that what makes Rig Talk a great place is the ability to talk freely without being censored! I hope that never changes!!!

Nico.

Brad

I appreciate you saying this and all, but if this had been said up front rather than trying to stir interest using clips and statements then none of this background conflict would have happened, and we might still have Dave around.

 

[ejecta]

Then Dave goes and posts about how he just got this new mod from Mark, completely throwing it in the face of Brad & Co and all they guys here who have been waiting for their amps for years. Sorry, but that was a real dick move IMO.

My worthless .02 and no offense to those who consider Dave a friend. But for me I would never be friends with anyone who thinks it's ok to be friends with a thief like Mark Cameron. All gear knowledge, great chops, and video demo's aside this really tainted my view of Dave, especially one who claimed the ethics he did in political discussions in the OT. Smelt a little hypocritical at best.

And yes after a bit I really thought "What the hell is Brad thinking in doing this Cameron amp thing and helping a guy that screwed over all those people". Sorry Brad and no offense but at least you never defended Mark's actions like Dave did. I understand it from seeing an amp that a lot of people liked and trying to acquire that property to bring it to market and make money but Mark Cameron is fucking thief and sounds like nothing short of a miracle will always be. Best of luck with what you were able to get out of it.

 

[squank]

Brad, I'm sure you would have preferred not to air this dirty laundry in public. But in the end, I think it's better that you did. It gives everyone a clear picture of why Dude left, as well as where the whole Cameron situation is.

 

[Mr. Willy]

I knew things would go down like this with Mark Cameron sooner or later. His history precedes him.

 

[Gainzilla]

Psychodave is too busy running for the Republican nomination. Like all great politicians, he's got much experience in rumor mongering, needless drama, tunnel vision and ulterior motives. I always thought he was a total jackass. Good riddance to Cameron's Cuckold Vermin.

Ummm no...

 

[ConcreteVampire]

Thanks for the clarification Brad. It seemed butthurty to leave like that, now we know why. Kudos on the patenting, your no fool, and don't suffer them either.

Where dem attenuators at?!
