What amp are you plugging your Rick into?

[britinvasion]

Bass -live, Ampeg B100R.
Guitar -studio, Vox Pathfinder.
You can see both in this shot, live I use the Pathfinder for my electric sitar.

Thats a very cool pic , Ron! Thanks for sharing.

I play my Rick 335 through a Rickenbacker TR75. If you have never had a chance to play through a solid state Rick amp, it gives a wonderful powerful clean tone, similar to the Roland JC120. these amps and guitars really were meant for each other.

For my 360-12, I will often use Rick-O-Sound with the neck pickup running through the TR75 and the bridge pickup sent to a Rickenbacker TR7!

sweetness!

My Rick SS amp (an 80s RG90) is an amazingly clean-sounding unit, that has none of the tiring sound quality of so many SS amps of that period. It could pass for a clean boutique tube amplifier, and sounds fabulous with Rickenbacker single-coil pickups.

Most recently, the new Vox AC4TV. Aside from looking very cool, this amps sounds really good. I was quite surprised at how much beef and drive this puppy can get from 1:30 on. The variable power actually does something positive for the sound by changing the tonality of the amp, rather than being a hype tactic as it is on so many others. The closed back design gives a nice, usuable throatyness to the tone, as well as adding a woodyness that makes the sound anything but thin.

It's not a hi-gain monster by any means, but has signifigantly more uummpphh and useable tone than the Epiphone Valve JR and Fender Champion 600. I bought both of these amps new for around house and recording tube crankability, but both fell short, the JR falling shortest. I'm really digging this amp, especilly for what it is, and for it not claiming to be something else.

I use a Vox Valvetronix AD-120VT.

I use a Marshall JTM 622 most of the time - an all tube combo, 60 watts into 2 12" Celestions. Someone earlier mentioned that a 360 through a Marshall sounds awesome, and it does. I've run all of my Rickenbackers through it and it always sounds great. Right now I have a 381/6, although I've had a couple of 330's and a 360 before. I also have a Dr. Z Maz 18 NR with the 2x10's in it, that's really a nice amp. I also have a Mesa Boogie Express 5:25 which makes everything sound cool if you spend time turning the knobs, and a Vox AD30VT that I rarely use. Next up is some kind of Fender - probably a Deluxe Reverb or Super Sonic. I like what I'm hearing about the Deluxe Reverb here on the forum, and it was nice to see a compliment about the Super Sonic - they don't seem to get much respect in the Fender lineup.

My 365 through a TR 75. Nice sound for a ss amp.

Here is a photo from a couple of weeks ago. Hope it opens properly as I've not attached photos like this before.

Mostly I use a Fender Bassman 59 reissue, especially the 12 strings sound terriffic through it, besides I have an AC30CC1 as well, great tone, but now I prefer the Bassman.

I have a few different amps , these are the most used , especially the Vox Valvetronics, It is so versatile. the VC 15 is about the cleanest amp I own and it was used for recording before I owned it. Not much you can really say about the Fender Hot Rod DeVille , anyone who knows these amps knows its capabilities.
I am also impressed by an amp used by a friend of mine in his guitar repair shop ( Doc Patillo) it is a 4x10 tweed Peavy, I was blown away with the performance of this thing.
Vox VC 15 Rose Morris
Vox ad 30 vt , really like this little amp
Fender Hot Rod DeVille 4x10

Since we're talking Fender, my main gig amp is this '63 Dual Showman with RI blonde reverb unit. It's seen some action with my Rick Light Show and 660/12, but is mostly used with the Jag and Jazzmaster:

Peavey Classic 30.







side note: 90% of the people in bands at my school use Fender Hot Rod amps and its really funny because when there is a battle of the bands they all lug the same amp up there when they could just use one and change the settings and save a lot of time mic-ing
