I know exactly what you are referring tooNS10Fan":3ioqwf4u said:Just my opinion, and I wish I could explain it better, but it seems like there is something happening with the upper midrange of most Camerons that isn't in a lot of other places. Almost borderline cardboardy, but just where you love it. Almost like a wah-cocked a bit at all times. The feel ain't bad either tho.
You can sorta dial it out, but to me, that's what I love about camerons.
My Handwired CCV circuit. Loads of gain and cool options. Jose Master, Push/Pull dual gains in classic Cameron style. Push/Pull mid boost-and Resonance.Three way tone stack voicings. Three way resonance voicings. PTP no boards.

I found out the exact material used. The old vinyl was in decent shape but I redid it myself. I did upholstery when I was younger. This is exactly how the early famous 1956 Standels were done up.Came out better than when it was done when new. This Standel originally was going to be a high gain design under the Standel name. Mark was hired for this purpose. It turned out to be a non cost effective venture as Danny found out quickly there is no way to produce Mark's amps effectively. The amp began as an empty chassis so its a complete build by Mark. Mark told me the amps are CCV circuits. There were three Monster protos and about six more Mark had done. All CCV circuits with different options and power tubes in a few. They sat in the Cameron Boneyard until recently rediscovered. They are complete amps.steve_k":3qprir6z said:glip22":3qprir6z said:I know exactly what you are referring tooNS10Fan":3qprir6z said:Just my opinion, and I wish I could explain it better, but it seems like there is something happening with the upper midrange of most Camerons that isn't in a lot of other places.

Sweet Standel, ala Mark Cameron. Did you get the shell redone Gary? Looks cool, old school......congrats on that score.

Where's mine 
Damn, Is that an original Standel headshell you have there? Nice score. How many amps did Mark complete back then in the old days? Killer amps. Mine is flat out awesome. Has this amazing pure tube grind in the tone. Best I have ever heard in a handwired head.

I guess this is a very vague question.
I think the guy will work with a buyer. They are PTB handwired. No boards except some upright tag boards. Built to withstand a blast. They are not modded Standels. They were ground up built by Mark from an empty Chasis. I believe they were the earliest CCV's with an awesome Jose master. Not much has changed with MArk's CCV circuit. The difference is the option switches on the newer CCV's. The pull bright on the one on ebay is just like the left or right position on one of the gains on the CCV. Switch labeled bright. Mine has dual push/pull gains just like the CCV and several other options. If you offered me 3500, I would have to think on it real hard. Mine was originally built with the others but later modded with options. The studio guy who owned it was the original owner and kept it for years. I bought it from him. I took a chance because it was before anyone knew about the old amps Mark had completed while at Standel. I was not one bit sorry. The best amp I have owned. It has much more gain than the new production CCV I had. It rips without the Jose master engaged and has so many tonal options. Great cleans and mid gain in the low input which is similar to the CCV Channel one. The transformers in these old amps are great. Handwound and beefy as can be. Super articulate and loads of handwired grind with great feel.sjk":q91wp2ns said:
