I have one coming on Monday, although I'll be using strictly for archtop guitar. There is a parallel topic in the Electronics section that contains a review for pedal steel. See below.

Thanks, Bob. I pulled the trigger on one just this morning. I really need it for a practice rig that I can use with my IPad running iRealB practice tracks. I do plan to put either a reverb and/or e ...

Thanks for the review of the Quilter. I'm close to pulling the trigger on one, having looked for something to use for in-home practice without disturbing my (city apartment) neighbors.

How have ...

The link to the manual says its fine to unplug the speaker when using headphones.

Looks like a nice product.

This sounds like an amp that may have a lot of appeal to the traditional jazz archtop community as well. Same debates between tube and solid state rage over there as here. I've gone through most of ...

Nice picture of the BMW2002. I also miss mine ('73 artic blue).

I'm planning a trip down to Rudy's in NYC in the near future to check out the single speaker Twilighter amp. One piece of information I haven't been able to source is what these weigh -- I've seen th ...

Came across this builder recently. Nice vintage look and the prices seem very reasonable.

I had ordered the mono version of the Wet Reverb, but they accidentally sent me the stereo/tone knob version, and then were nice enough just to say 'keep it.' I have to agree with Gary that the tone ...

Drew, I enjoyed your review of the RE500. I've owned a couple of the Evans 200 watt heads in the past and found them to be very clean, warm solid state amps, especially when used with a 1x10 cabinet ...

Another vote for the Neunaber Wet Reverb. I ordered the 2 knob mono version a few weeks ago, and they mistakenly sent me the 3 knob version (stereo vs. mono, includes a tone knob). When I offered to ...

I would appreciate any views people hold on the boutique Fender-clone amp maker Headstrong. I understand they are known for making very faithful reproductions of blackface era amps (their Royal Rever ...

Thanks, Lee, for posting the video of RG, probably my favorite rock/blues guitarist of all time. Brings back memories of seeing him in the late seventies.

Sorry for the (brief) hijack!

Steve, re your question on a 12" speaker, I go back and forth between a 12" Weber California and a 10" Tone Tubby (a recommendation I got from this Forum). I believe I got the replacem ...

Steve, I hope this works out for you. I have the same amp, just a year younger (1970). Fantastic sound. A nice added feature is that the baffle is easily switched out if you want to put a 12" ...

Another vote for the Acoustic Image Clarus (I have the Series III) -- I had Rick Johnson build a 10" cabinet for me. Great sound and very portable.

Another one to consider is the Quilter Micr ...

I had occasion to play one for a few hours last year, and I agree that it had a very warm tone, especially for a solid state amp. (Disclaimer: I was playing several archtop guitars through it rather ...

Realize we're off topic a bit, but another vote for the Acoustic Image. I use a Clarus with a Rick Johnson 10" cabinet; sounds great with archtops, although it adds very little color of its own ...

At this point I only play six string jazz guitar, but the EP Booster is one of my "always on" pedals. A friend of mine plays a wonderful '60's gibson L5 through a blackface deluxe reverb (a ...

Been reading a lot lately about the early Ampegs and how great they sound, especially for jazz guitar. May have to start the search for a Reverberocket, Jet or Gemini. There's a Gemini II for sale o ...

Andy, I can only offer what I've read about these (and I researched them pretty thoroughly before settling on an Acoustic Image Clarus). They are fairly popular with the archtop crowd, and possibly f ...

Donald, greetings from Connecticut. I own an Evans AE-200 head. From the controls, I'd guess the one you're looking at was made in the late 90's or early 2000's (mine is a 1998) and probably has an ...

Thumbs up on the Apogee Jam. I received one for Christmas from my wife. Extremely easy to use with Garageband (even I can do it). Here's a youtube video of someone from the jazz guitar forum playin ...

I've had both the Evans AH200 head and an older AE200 head. Both are extremely clean, dynamic amps (and loud - 200 watts). The AH200 is very light, about 5 lbs and the size of kleenex box. The old ...

I have a 1970 non-reverb Princeton, which I use either with a 12" Weber Cali or a 10" Tone Tubby (the amp has the removable baffle). The guys over on the Jazz Guitar Forum go crazy for the ...
