Greer Amps Cam18 head, Fender 52 HotRod tele with 2Tek bridge, Don Mare Stelly and SS pickups

[benellidown]

Hey, been having a hard time finding any Greer amps out there. I noticed Fat Sound does not even list those amps any longer. Have they cut back on making these amps or just hard to get? Not found a Greer amp over my way in a long time. Wanted to try a Rev 50 in person, but never found one. I still like the TB30 about the best.

@benellidown Nick's still making great amps, they're just a one man shop and things take time. Not a lot of Rev50's out in the world, shame too it's a fine amp. T-Bolt is also my favorite, and been my main amp for I think 4 years now? I still have this Cam18 too which is fabulous, and also a Maurauder and Hellfire I love. You might check with Infinity Guitars in texas, also Pedals Plus Effects Warehouse (,.com) stock them I believe. Pedalgeek might have a few too. I'm out of the resale biz.

@Mykkus Thanks. I'll go searching. I was just on his site looking at his list of dealers and clicking on links.

@benellidown We will have a CAM 18 arriving within the next two weeks. check out the website for more details

im looking at the thunderbolt 30 and cam 18. compare?

[Mykkus]

@marvelboy04 The cam has a touch less gain and a bit more chime. The 6V6's give it a nice mid bump. You can nudge it closer to a fendery sound because of it, but it retains a voxy esque chime which is fabulous. very big and open sound. The TBolt is my favorite amp, but it's more Marshall voiced than the Cam. More early Plexi. There's still a bit of chime to it, and that swirl similiar to a matchless with it, but it's got a bit more grunt and grit depending which power tube you use.

Nicely played. Good sounding amp and axe.

[evilsmooth]

Hi, Do you think it sounds more like a Vox/Marshall mix (as Greer says on his website) or more like an old fender/Marshall?

What about the Shime?

I'm really interesed in buying this amp but on the fatsoundguitar demo they talk about fender, the old fender? What do you think about that?

Thanks

@evilsmooth

I think what greg V means by fender is the definite 6v6 mid bump that's in it. It can get some tweedish style tones if you set it up right, but to me it's more marshall and vox hybrid than fender tones. It's like the best AC15 with more low mid WHOOMP or a chimey more touch sensitive marshally sound, with Greer's thumbprint all over the tone. It's really an amazing amp.

[paulscape72]

cool looking and sounding amp

[benellidown]

What Greer amp would you suggest if I want to lean into the modern rock side of things? Not metal by no means, but the harder side of rock but still have good cleans. I have a Bogner Shiva 2x12 cab with one greenback, one Vingtage 30. I'm currently looking at a Bogner Shiva head to replace a Marshall DSL 50.

Nice job on the demo.

[Mykkus]

@benellidown To get more of a modern rock tone with Greer, I'd suggest a Thunderbolt 30 or a Rev 50 with a Suckerpunch pedal in front of it.

[jwuonog]

Wow that sound really good! Really chimey!

Are 6v6s usually chimey?

[Mykkus]

Most amps aren't . Greer really figured out a way to get a nice chime out of them, without sacrificing the low end warmth of the 6v6. Really a tremendous amp. I've had this the longest, and could never part with it.

Big Mike,

Can you make a video with your Les Paul straight into the Cam 18?

aka 'ringmod' on TGP

[AquilaNdN]

can you do a video with the marauder 35 with a strat?

[Mykkus]

Hopefully soon. I have one coming in for a customer I plan on doing a video for. I'll see if I can borrow a strat.

[AquilaNdN]

Thanks cause' I am def. thinking about getting one of these, is there anywhere I can hear sound clips of each amp that he produces?

[Mykkus]

No where I know of...I keep adding them as I can. Should have a Mauder clip in the next few weeks.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Great job Big Mike! Some wonderful tones in there. Do you have pics of the Tele w/ the new bridge?

[Mykkus]

Shoot me an email or message, I do have some.
