I recently stumbled across this amp again, and it sounds great, and tighter in your face than the Cameron CCV which sounds more scooped. So, I was reading in the Wiki about it and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to dial it to get it sounding it's best for massive high gain growly blah blah tones.
Notes from Wiki:
Based on: Cameron Atomica, a "brown sound" 100 watt amp. Models: low gain and high gain channels. EL34. Speakers: G12H.
Original controls: Thump (Depth in model), Presence, Bass, Middle, Treble, Master, Gain, Edge (Bright switch in model), 3-way gain switch.
Saturation is engaged by default.
Cliff: "The Atomica can tolerate high MV because it is a "Jose-style MV". The Jose-style MV imparts a very high source resistance to the tone stack which causes much more insertion loss and therefore lower drive level into the power amp"
Cliff: "In the design of some amps the lowcut frequency is dependent upon the Drive setting. In these cases the Lowcut parameter defaults to 10 Hz and the actual lowcut filtering is calculated as part of the Drive knob function"
