Post by loverickbass »

Has anyone used their RIC 12 with an acoustic guitar amp?

I've used my 620/12 on my little 10 amp Ibanez acoustic amp... Nothing special to report

I have a Fender Acoustasonic Jr. amp and have used them together (I may not have tried my 660/12 through that amp, but I have played my 360/12 through it.) Sounds good, but not perfect. Between the guitar and the amp, I can tame most of the things I don't like, but it never gives me the complete "aaaaaah!" of my preferred amps. Sounds better through my Motion Sound KBR-M keyboard amp and better yet through my tube guitar amps.

I have often used my Rickenbacker 12 string with the Yorkville AM-100 and it produces a terrific sound. This little amplifier is terrific for the price and will even let you run a microphone for vocals through the same amplifier for small gigs.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

That's what I was after Peter. Seems like those amps and RIC 12's would be perfect for each other. I wanted to get others opionions before I made a purchase.

Does yours have any onboard effects Peter? I've read that the Fenders have a side mounted speaker and kinda' gives a "stereo" effect.

I use a Marshall AS50D, it's great, doesn't cost a fortune and has mic I/P, reverb, chorus, DI out, feedback controls,...

Peter McCormack: Is the Yorkville AM-100 basically the same amp as the Traynor AM100T?
