I often play my archtop through it and contrast that sound with a 1959 custom shop tele reissue...that sound is awesome...the tone is so good I hate throwing effects on it. Love these amps.
Has anyone tried the new AC60s? They are reasonably priced but I've heard they are bottom heavy...(I'm having a tough time imagining a bottom heavy Vox). Anyone actually play one?
Thanks for posting this jmeager!
