So here's the 18 watt Greer Cam18. My first Greer amp. Still gets a ton of use. It's been my rehearsal amp lately. Really gets a lot of voxy esque Chime, suprising with the Powertube load. Camera loses some lows and highs in the room though. Running through a 70's Marshall 4x12 with Scumback M/H mix in an X pattern.

Straight into the amp, no pedals. Evidence Lyric cable if that makes a diff. LOL

Fender HotRod is one I got used, was fortunate to get a 2tek bridge installed, and I recently changed out the stock pickups for an underwound Don Mare SS Bridge pickup I've had kicking around, and a Don Mare STelly I recently bought, so it's a real tele sized pickup in the neck now.

Tried to run through all the settings on the guitar and amp, really cleans up well with picking technique and volume/tone control manipulation.

For you Mayer Haters....there's a little love in there for ya ;)

Thanks emee!

Yeah I lifted that lift from Greg's vids...he lifted it from Haynes. I only steel from the best! Bwaahahahah


Few rough spots playing wise but i try to leave it as honest as possible. I should probably plan out what I'm going to play more. But hey, it's a moment in my dining room. LOL

Geez Mike - absolute ACES all around - GREAT tone, GREAT playing, and excellent commentary on the Cam 18.

I'm becoming a pretty big believer in the Greer amps - the Cam 18 sounds great, the Cam 30 is haunting me.

I'm ALREADY a believer in your playing - great job!

Thanks, Dana O.

Thanks dana! Yeah the Tbolt 30 is still my fave, but this can get down right voxy in the right settings, and even some fendery stuff.

My favorite pure tele amp. Was fun through the 4x12. LOL

Great job, one of these days I gotta get a Greer from you.

Thanks again Mike, Dana O.
