Re: I got my Mark Cameron Marshall back today
Well I have spent 2 days with this amp and I have to say it is a tone machine. I also have a Bogner XTC and an Uber. The Cameron modified Marshall fits right in between them. This head is a Marshall 1959 plexi reissue. I had Mark put in his high gain or Doug Aldrich mod. I also had Mark go nuts by putting an additional master and gain control, a Depth knob, and a six position switch that changes the power amp section. While Mark had the amp he also put in a Style knob which changes the preamp gain from a JCM 800 sound to a tight Uber/Recto sound. And last but not least while he was tweaking the amp he found a sweet compression spot and added a on/off switch for it. This added feature is really cool for leads and I think it is so cool that he had never done this one before. Kind of that Mesa Mark 2c+ sound. And of course he added a tube buffered effects loop which is very transparent.
Overall this head is very flexable. I told Mark to give me an amp that sounded like Godzilla having sex and that is exactly what he did. This amp does not have a true clean channel, but I didn't want that for this head anyway. The amp does clean up very nice with the guitar volume rolled back while keeping the harmonics. The flexability and tone this amp delivers is just short of orgasmic!
The only downfall I can report at this time is the head is a little noisy. But most high gain monsters are. I used to have a Lee Jackson XLS head and that head was noisy as well. But a good hush fixes that problem with no ease.
I will post some pics of the amp soon....Comment

Re: I got my Mark Cameron Marshall back today
The mod costed $550. Mark worked out a deal with me on the effects loop because of the wait time. It is funny I have never posted any sound clips before. I will be learning more on how to do this and I will post some clips when that time comes. If anyone is interested in getting a mod done by Mark shoot me a pm or email and I will give you my # and I can do a over the phone demo for now.Comment

Re: I got my Mark Cameron Marshall back today
Wayne you are very welcome! I spoke to Mark last night over the phone and he said he will call you. Let me know if you don't hear from him by Monday. He is trying to finish a couple more amps ans was quite busy last night. He is taking more amps to be modded so good luck and just tell him you want the Krueger mod...ha ha. If you want to know anything else just give me a ring.Comment
